Reasonably good, but the weakest amongst Wu Xin 1-3
Of the three Wu Xin: The quái dị Killer series so far, this is probably the weakest in terms of plot. It"s almost as though there is some uncertainty as khổng lồ how khổng lồ proceed.Season 1 ends with Wu Xin going into his once-a-century deep sleep--he wakes up & forgets everything, including his lover, who has died, and his friend. Season 2 begins some time after Wu Xin wakes up, but Season 2 features some of the actors from Season 1--apart from Elvis Han who plays Wu Xin, there is Ian Wang và Sabrina Chen (the villain in Season 1). One may notice quite early on that the characters are given a bit of a reboot. It"s understandable for Wu Xin since most of his memory is erased after his deep sleep, but his relationship with Bai Liu Li seems rather different in Season 2. Wu Xin và Bai"s frequent squabbling despite their deep friendship is actually interesting and Bai appears very little in Season 1, so this change is forgivable. The odder change is with Sabrina Chen"s role. Perhaps there was uncertainty as lớn whether lớn bring back the villain of Season 1 or to lớn create a new villain (who may or may not be played by Sabrina Chen). Eventually, despite frequent references lớn the Season1 villain (with the suggestion that she may return), the story doesn"t really involve her. Instead, Sabrina Chen plays a male character--she does a good job of it, though there is really no reason lớn use a female actress for the role, much less one who looks exactly like Season 1"s villain. In the end, it feels like Sabrina Chen is used to lớn tease the fans of Season 1 only lớn disappoint them.The supernatural element in the second season is also somewhat disappointing. There is some self-reflexive recognition of the weakness of the first (the monster killer, Wu Xin, actually has no powers apart from using his blood to lớn get rid of evil forces) & some attempt khổng lồ make it more interesting. But we are left with a lingering sense of a more powerful villain who may appear, only lớn be disappointed. The story centers around two magic mirrors (of sorts), & there"s no real reason for the monsters in the mirror to lớn appear after the death of the villain.Some of the uncertainty in the direction, however, give rise to lớn potentially interesting characterization. Ian Wang, who plays Gu Xuan Wu in Season 1, now plays Gu Xuan Wu"s son (Gu Ji). Wu Xin"s vague recollections of Gu Xuan Wu causes him khổng lồ treat the son as a friend easily. For a while, the friendship between Wu Xin and Gu Ji seems lượt thích a rehash of Wu Xin and Gu Xuan Wu"s friendship in Season 1. Perhaps there is a deliberate attempt to avoid rehashing the same idea, so Gu Ji"s character turns out khổng lồ be a much more selfish person. This does become quite interesting.The romance element in Season 2 is probably the weakest amongst Seasons 1-3. Wu Xin"s love interest seems (actually she is) too young. She is not even 18, & appears more lượt thích Wu Xin"s kid sister. The romance plot seems to be added in for the sake of having romance. Despite its flaws, the series is still fairly interesting. Those who feel no compulsion to lớn watch all the three seasons (so far) can, however, probably go straight to Season 3, which is more interesting.Read More
