Detective Samoyeds: Season 2 (2017)

This is one of a great drama. I am a type of person who would never watched a drama twice. I never even watch my favorite movie twice except after few years. But for this drama I already re-watch like twice for first season and twice for second season in just this year and when I first found it in 2018. Back then I couldn't find any English subtitles so I watches the first season till episode 12 . I was quite upset because out of other Cdrama this one is really almost like extraordinary. The storyline, the concept even the actors and actress characters all are my favorite. I have never fell so in love with such drama except for "The untamed". I don't like typical Chinese drama that have cliché plot and storyline and romance. I don't like how other Cdrama delivered female leads characters as weak & troublesome plays. But unlike this, I love all the characters played in here especially Gongsu Siniang, samo duoluo and Li zhi. Despite Siniang characters as rough fierce women a lady boss that always abused Samo, but she is one of the person who would be very protective over him and like a mother, she worried so much when Samo come back home very late. Also for Li zhi Captain for Dalisi, despite his cold attitude, smile less and like he doesn't care but he is the one who always spoiled Samo. Pay whenever he need Samo's talent but also pay for anything that Samo want including to help Samo get away from been punished by Siniang. This kind of relationship is like mother father and a naughty son. Samo who acting like a son that always teased his mother Siniang but yet any beauty products or accessories that out in the market he would buy it for Siniang. And eventhough Siniang always mad at him but she is the first to be so protective like a mother. And although Li zhi sometimes can be so annoyed with Samo but he will always be there to keep him save and provide his need. This included when he need to clear Samo's debt because of his daily troublesome. Shuangye is like a sister to Samo or more like besties. They can be one in cracking the mystery but also can pair up together to teases other members. Sanpao is like an uncle and sometimes can be a brother or a bestie that Samo could have. Always become Samo reliable companion in their tricky plan. Many time Sanpao is like an uncle that always get teased by naughty nephew. They two are so hilarious. Zisu is a smart little sister in the drama. She is a fragile lady but she is so smart that she always able to get any information. She can't fight or anything but she also not a typical type of Chinese female characters in most drama that always become hostages because of her stubbornness. She have only been captivated once and she already have a back up plan to be saved and to save her friends. In other word, this drama are totally different from many perspectives and characteristics of the characters compared to other drama. They also have cases in every episode and a smart modus operation in each episode. I love that they all have that cheerful characters. And to be honest I don't really enjoyed romance element in Cdrama except romance in "Ice Fantasy", " The untamed - Shijie's love story ", " The handsome sibling 2020- between miss su and jiang xiaoyu ". Also "fighter of destiny - between Janice wu and Luhan (although it was one sided love) & "Nirvana of Fire between Mr.Su and his childhood lover (forgot her name) the princess. Other than that any Cdrama with romantic genre I have never watched because I think it too boringgggg and I feel annoyed on how they portraited the female characters. But I do watched few romantic Cmovies. Back to this drama, I really love the light romance between Siniang and Li zhi. They having crush on each other but also sometime denying it. Maybe because their heads are full with worried for Samo ?. It sad that these drama short video or bts video very hard to find in YouTube. Like u can't find anything like funny cracks videos about them at all. Since this drama have light comedy in the storyline and like an anime. Also there is alot of bromance moments between Li zhi and Samo in the drama. The cringey words Li zhi spoke to Samo and how he spoiled him although he show like he was annoyed. This drama is really high recommended that I glad that I found this drama. The only bad thing is the ending, it's have happy ending but seem like it also hanging without ending. I really hope their will be third season because seem like there is more to this drama. Like the last episode for season 2 was like happy ending but also a beginning of sad ending. Like its a ending but also hanging that you wish to know what next? But thinking back maybe that is the good ending. It not the real ending for Samo duoluo and his origin but surely it's the ending that he want. But still somehow I wish for third season. I really love every characters played by the actors and actresses and I don't wish them to be changed. The actors and actresses choosed really did a great job. I would highly recommend this drama especially for those who are fans of Joe xu. I watched this drama after I become fan of him after the "Revive" drama. And I really enjoyed this. Thanks you. Also I love the actress who acted as Siniang. But couldn't find her other works. She such a good actress and I love her looked. The CGI in the drama is quite funny and a bit unrealistic but the story line and concept are really good.

This Was All That and More!

Again, the cast wowed! The storyline got more complex, more politically driven and the bigger picture of Samo Duo Luo's part at the center of things became tragically clearer. He's a prince of a fallen kingdom, of all things! And oh yeah, does the plot get dark.

If I could wish for a season 3 of any show...

The special effects continue to wow and make you cringe, in turns. Wow in that the town environments and general outdoor environments are filmed on a giant sound stage indoors, even though they feel "outdoors". And cringe because... well... bad cgi everything. But the writing of this show can't be beat! Nor can the acting.

The only real crime of it is that season 2 ends on a cliffhanger we'll never see resolved. But we do get closure in the final scene, in terms of Samo Duo Luo, having his found family, even as the invasion starts and everything looks like it's about to go to hell. (sigh) You get the distinct feeling that Li Zhi knows more about who Samo is than Samo himself does and that setup alone just begged for a season 3 to explore.

I loved this season. Really. The main villain of the piece never did get properly revealed, but his near supernatural abilities and the fact that he was doing all his Zionist crap in Samo's name??? Well, he certainly makes a wildly unusual bad guy.

I will warn English speaking audiences, though... Unless this has been fixed in the mean time, the subs for this season were terribly out of sync with the dialog delivery, and so tracking the dialogue will be a challenge. But it's worth the effort. That is, of course, where eng subs even exist. The last half of season 2 has no subs. Watch it anyway.

Settle in with some cocoa and a warm blanket and be prepared to love Xu Hai Qiao as the adorable and brilliant Samo Duo Luo, all over again.
