The entire Detective Chinatown series is trash at this point. A forcefully constructed universe featuring star after star. It's sad to know that with this kind of budget this is what the team chooses to put together even with the extra time and money to make things right. Transition between scenes is senseless, dialogues are cringy and character motive being non-existent. I can tell Chen Sichen tries to be creative and funny, but his method perhaps only works for himself and his group of friends. The best work the entire series has done so far is sadly the TV series, and the first couple episodes of it. Detective Chinatown 1 seemed like a doorway to something interesting that deserves to be further developed, but at this point I simply hope they could just stop.
