The Feel-Good Part:
Compared to the first version, Brutally Young 2.0 portrays a different tale. new cast members join Joel Chan and Shaun Tam from season 1 in the ensemble.
The Disappointing Factor:
When they gradually unveil the implicated guys, the drama loses its intrigue. It came to a rapid close once they located the eighth individual, which seemed pretty anticlimactic. Sam was a person who never lost his composure and intellect. Shaun therefore didn’t really express his feelings. It didn’t require a lot of acting talent, did it? The entire time, his voice was monotone. His expressions weren’t really expressive.
In-Depth Analysis:
Painter Yiu Sheung-him has had little success since beginning his career more than a decade ago until gallery owner Fong Chi-ho and his wife Sung Wai-kei come upon an old painting Sheung-him did 18 years ago. And the pair decides to assist him in achieving fame, but Sheung-him isn’t in the mood to be joyful. Sheung-him abandons his values, which he has been steadily upholding, in a moment of pride. Sheung-fame and money also condemn him to obscurity. Due to certain vested interests, Shum Yuet, who was once Sheung-favorite him’s disciple, rekindles their relationship. Then a mystery murder occurs, and shockingly, Sheung-wife him’s Chong Yui-ting is the unfortunate victim. As scenes of intrigue and deception take place, if it’s not one thing, it’s another.
Star Power:
Shaun Tam, Joel Chan, Katy Kung, Candice Chiu, Zoie Tam, Raymond Cho, and other actors appeared in this 20-episode drama. Despite having a less-than-stellar ensemble, everyone excelled in their assigned roles in this drama. They weren’t excellent actors or actresses in my opinion before. I’m forced to revise my opinion after viewing their performances in this series. Their jobs here give them the chance to demonstrate their varied acting styles.
Overall Opinion:
The storyline of the show moves along quickly, which is good, and it is full of nice suspense, secrets (yes, all characters have secrets from one another, especially from their partners), and surprises along the way.
