Chu Li was made for Yu Shuxin

So I've watch this drama during the time it was aired because that time it was on my long time break

Yu Shuxin playing as Chu Li, though I won't count myself as pomegranate, it felt like Chu Li is Yu Shuxin and Yu Shuxin is Chuli
Chu Li's humor and serious side was just so Yu Shuxin
I can't say that it's the "best work" as I haven't watch her other drama, but I think Shuxin really did great, despite it's like her playing herself
Ding Yuxi was so adorable, tbh for several parts Zhou Chuan was just, eh, typical tsundere boy, but he add his own flavor to the character, maybe adding his own self for Zhou Chuan
And I Love Zhou Chuan and Jiang Yucheng bromance, one of the reason why I love this drama

on the other hand, while most of the time I was more interested in 2nd cp than main CP of the drama, moonlight wasn't just it
I won't lie that Jiang Yucheng and Gu Baizhi chemistry was one of the hottest but their characters was just frustrating, always have an urge to skipped their parts

Kinda sad that Yu Yao and Suo Heng have so much potential as wlw representative in this drama, I was rooting for them, but I know back then the acception of wlw wasn't as big as "bromance", and after that Qing Lang happened so yeah

Best season of Busted series

범인은 바로 너 season 2 is still the best season from all season of 범바너 series
I love how well written this season and the pace was great and all episodes and stories were intertwined with each other and all of them centered to the flower killer

Yoo Jaesuk, well he's Yoo Jaesuk, the main character even though he's not the smartest but he always excecuting the crucial parts
Park Min Young, the brain, what would busted team do without her
Kim Jong Min, comedic releave, he's funnier in this season
Ahn Jae Wook, a reliable oldest member, too bad his scandal happened
Sehun, he did way better than season 1, more relax and always thinking out of the box
Sejeong, the reliable youngest member and happy pill, she and Park Min Young literally the brain of Busted team
Lee Seunggi, even though he's * he is still a great additional though he joined in the middle of season 2, Sehun and him are funniest duo
Lee Kwangsoo, he only appear in episode 1, it's sad but the team still carried on without him

At first I'm not into watching this season unlike IPD or Qing2 but I gave it a try anyway because Shuxin was youth tutor and I heard that the9 would coming, and well I kinda miss Li Ronghao as vocal mentor, his dynamic with ZYX and MC Jin back then were great, and I kinda had no activities for months because of pandemic
the show was actually quite okay, I'd still choose this compare to Korean produce series
performance wise were good, and I love the idea of 1.5 I Want Stage after 2.5 studio version stage in previous season
and theme song was good

Chris Lee, as PD, at first, I mean during company evaluation I just kinda eh, she's so easily to give trainee an A unlike the previous season PDs, and I found her words kinda contradicting with how she easily gave several trainees an A but S1H, who performed really well even better than some trainees who got A, got B instead, though in the end he got A for theme song evaluation
and how some trainees in A class after reevaluation still got A kinda confusing, when WNJ or YHM were better than them (idk if it's her or teacher Jiang)
but after several episodes I found her genuinely become the cool sister figure for them
Lisa, iqiyi wanted her for international clout like last season, too bad she's not physically there and I found her less strict than she was in previous season
Li Ronghao was great as ever and I love the dynamic between LRH-PWB-LYC

tbh after 1st elimination I just watch it for my faves and the performances as it really way too focus on "center drama" it's just putting off
and while I'm not really into it, it's just sad that the show ended abruptly

The only thing I like about this drama almost as much as Go Ahead were Kang Seo Hyun and Park Dal, too bad their parts were not that much
He Mei was bolder and kinda diva (as she should) while Kang Seo Hyun is more reserved character, I think both really match Li Hai Chao and Yun Jung Jae, cause despite both are The Dads, but their characters were totally different
and it took me until the very last episode to realized Dal = Yue Liang (Ming Yue's nickname)
many said FBC would do romance better than Go Ahead, I don't agree
because what people dislike about XiaoJian still happened to SanWon
Zi Qiu's arc doesn't need romance, and despite it's good to see HaeDal ended up together, but Hae Jun was way too dense, not just in romance but in general
and Yun Jung Jae Kang Seo Hyun wasn't developed as good as Li Hai Chao and He Mei (that I personally think they were also rushed)
personally i watch this to see how it would developed HaeDal and Jung Jae Seo Hyun but it kinda let down despite them being cute couples
I'm not liking Kim Dae Wook as much as I love Ling He Ping, but he was so funny in last 4 episodes, he should've got more funny scenes just like Ling He Ping, and poor man still pining over his ex, but glad he choose his sanity first

this season is the weakest among all season
season 1 was kinda ridiculous with one case spent 2 eps (iirc) but twist for earlier episodes were great
I love Kim Jihoon finally became fix member
Jang Jin and Park Jiyoon were great as always
Eunji, well she's great but Yoonji in season 1 and Hani in season 2 did better than her 🤷
Yang Sehyung, I feel like he can't blend with other cast and he's not really stand out like Jun Hyunmo who was the dumb one in season one or Jang Dongmin who was pretty smart in season 2
so I dropped this even though story wise it was good and in latter episode Hong Jinho was back

just my reviews on R.E.D's stage on Show It All

honestly only watch couple of videos from this show and mainly CEG's trainees (now r.e.d) and all of their performances
my opinions on their stages (not in orders)
Hashtag: good song and catchy, but only Alyce and Qianyu who stood out compare to the rest, they need to be more confident because they're actually good
G.O.A.T: too many rap parts, but the dance break was great, the outfits were too much
Jia Ren: one of my favorite performance, it was perfect but the outfits was let down they deserve a better costumes and hairstyles, too bad Xiu didn't get to performed it on the first time when she was brainstorming for this song
Ai Wu Xian: the song was sooooooo damn good, Jingyi is the soul of this song, really wish they could perform it again with a better stylings
R U Up: kinda messy compared to the actual 7 members version
Color: it was actually good but the refrain was messy, but this performance was the one who makes me watch the show
Catwalk 6 members version: great to see Qianyu and Ivy taking part in choreographing this song
Run This: it's good that it showcase the girls individuality, and Alyce-Qianyu dance break chef's kiss
Game Over: my top three overall performance, they did beyond expectations
Alyce solo performance: as expected r.e.d's main rapper and composer
Qianyu solo performance: indeed, Zhang Yixing's protegee and r.e.d's choreographer
Zilu and Mimi performance: this is the reason why Zilu was added, as much as I love the 6 members, Zilu perfected the group
Afterlife first performance: kinda surprised ruirui barely got parts, and wow composer alyce
Catwalk overseas performance: a good and fun performance, they clearly already enjoy the stages
Afterlife second performance: the dance is soooo much better than the first one
Theme Songs of Love: a fun performance
Jingyi and Zilu performance: CEG needs to release a duet song for main vocalists
WRU: a self composed stages, Alyce&Xiu were in charge of lyrics and composing, while Qianyu&Ivy were I charge of choreographing, and what's stopping CEG to officially release this song
AO1G: the wigs and AI needs to go I deserves a full performance of this song if not dance practice
Surprise song for ZYX: cute performance

my personal top 5 of r.e.d's performance:
Afterlife 2nd stage, Game Over, Jia Ren, Ai Wu Xian, WRU

different vibes from last season

if ladder season 3 had healing vibes, this season was more intense because of chingu line is present
kinda wish the exo-man is still present until the very end, lol
the highlight of this show is still the late night individual missions
xiumin being such a smart yet chill cutie pie
suho being happy with all members antique
ace baekhyun and his bad luck lol
chen the encyclopedia who only wants to see good side from his members
competitive chanyeol
d.o. the MVP of this season
sehun who always got passes by the members as he's their precious baby
missing Kai the variety shows sprout
