Miss S - Sparking, Sensational & Spectacular!
Miss S is truly such a wonderful series. The attention to detail in the set, costumes and even jewellery bring Miss S and her Republican era Shanghai to life - with much pizzazz. Who could not like murder-she-wrote set in the International Concession during 1920s Shanghai?
I am a big fan of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and this Chinese adaptation really did the series (and books) justice - I dare say it's even better.
The storylines were interesting although they did kind of lose the plot (pun intented) towards the end, I was in it for the characters, the Shanghai immersion and the simmering chemistry between the two leads. Honestly, Ma Yi Li and Gao Wei Guang did SUCH a great job in their roles. Even the supporting staff were not less sparkling. And the cheong sams! The cheong sams that Ma Yi Li wore (and she wore them so well) deserve an award of their own.
An altogether fabulous series.
