Medical Examiner Dr. Qin: The Survivor (2018)

Story: The story is nothing especial. If you have been watching crime dramas you probably will thought this drama is predictable. This is a slow paced drama. Took me almost 3 weeks to complete this. I almost give up but since i love the first season so much i did not. I have some problems with the pacing and can't understand some scenes but it is my own lacking probably (too sleepy or im just slow lol). This is nowhere near the 1st season but it also has its own charm. The story picks up at the 20 and up episodes so be patient.

Acting: Jing Chao as Dr Qin, Im not quite convince with his acting first but he grew on me later on also my fave character probably is Ling Dang. Their slow-burn-romance keep me wondering so i keep playing the next episode. The supporting casts where great too. Of course if your watching a team drama like this its impossible not to love the whole team. ♥ Yay to Criminal Investigation of Long Fan City.

Music: I did not hear any music from this sorry.

Re-watch value: Probably re-watch most of Wang Ling Dang scenes and Qin Ming's niece.

So if you liked a slow-paced crime procedural drama give this a try.

I am a huge fan of the series Dr. Qin, I personally loved the first and second one the most. This season was downhill for me. Although they don't reuse the same actors, at least the first and second ones, the assistant name was changed, making her a brand new character so I did not mind. This season, the assistant really rely on Dr. Qin, it's as if she doesn't have any forensic knowledge or anything, but it doesn't make sense if they continued it from season 2, using the same character, but in season 2 she already had good knowledge in forensic and work together with Dr. Qin rather just assist him.

Another thing is this season they stirred up too many conflicts between Dr. Qin & Lin Tao that it became annoying over time. I realized the character, Lin Tao, in this season isn't as quick and smart as the previous two seasons, it seems as if they want to make him the 'comedy' of this drama, so everything he said most of the time doesn't get taken seriously. Aside from this, Lin Tao literally being looked down on by Chen ShiYi when the other two seasons, literally respect for him and work, so I wasn't sure what they're trying to do here.

Lastly, I think to try for a drama to reuse character, names and life, it doesn't make sense to make Dr. Qin having to dead girlfriends for two seasons, and tried to make a relationship out of Lin Tao and Chen ShiYu too.

I would say, if you watch the other two seasons, I recommend you not watch this one. Although all the cases are good, I feel that they're trying really hard to make all the cases 'cruel' but then it got repetitive. I personally think if you watch this one first, then you can go ahead and watch the other two.
