Bethany R

I love that you're very consistent when it comes to yelling at the reveal of Detective Luo smirking at Pei Su from across the parking lot when he gets told to move his car the first time lolol

RedStalkingDeath

Since you don't remember much from last time, may I suggest reacting to the song in the end credits again?😁

ZE

haha ep1 "Xiao bai lian 小白脸" I think translate more closely to "pretty boy" than "hottie" but yes, he's totally talking about Pei Su

Missa

Rewatching with you has reminded me how very much I love this show!

BlaBlaBlaBla

Haha, the part you caught on about heart being interconnected (good eye!) and wondering if the Chinese original line is less gay… well… Nah…. The idiom “心有灵犀” (Xin You Ling Xi) was used by Luo Weizhou, which refers to when two people’s hearts are telepathically connected and they know what each others are thinking without needing a single word. It came from a Tang dynasty poem by Li Shangyin that reads “身无彩凤双飞翼，心有灵犀一点通,” which means “We can't fly side by side like a pair of phoenixes, Yet our hearts closely linked beat in harmony.” Yeah, you guessed it, it’s a love poem that depicts the sorrow and longing of two lovers who are deeply in love but can’t be together!

JulianPine

I cried so hard when you whispered "you are a good son, too" to PeiSu.

Lisa Kleine

Last time Brittany died during ep 6, let's see how it goes down this time 🤭❤️

Max

it's so funny that you don't remember anything from your first watch, because I've learned your reactions almost by heart, as I've watched your videos like seven thousand times😁

Chris

That first ep with Janitor on the radio reminded me of Lucien LaCroix on the radio from the old Canadian series Forever Knight :D

wendy

Can’t wait to see you get to the next few episodes. Seriously no one survived!!!!!

Chris

The classic reading from Janitor really gave me Lucien LaCroix radio time vibes from that old Canadian series Forever Knight.

RedStalkingDeath

Honestly, SAME. Sure there might have been cuts, and not every scene from the book could be included (it's CHINA, we KNOW they censor all kinds of stuff), and have there ever been a series/movie that even filmed every scene in the script and in it's entirety? We've waited more than 2 years already! From where I'm standing, every single scene we DO get is a gift🙏❤️ Also, we don't even really need to write in the gaps ourselves - we've still got ✨the novel✨!

RedStalkingDeath

Sneaky blink and you miss it implication from ep 10: before Pei Su entered the room, Luo Weizhao was sleeping on the couch without anything covering him. When PS leaves the room (flashback in the graveyard), there's suddenly a jacket covering LWZ💖

Chris

This is so fun! I never thought we'd see this series! And it is so fun watching this for the first time with you! I really hope it eventually ends up of Viki (or other international streaming platform) with good subs....so we can rewatch high resolution ;)

Chris

Yes...I agree with you...sometimes 'ignorance is bliss" ;D

RedStalkingDeath

Totally got that weird feeling too! Like what do you mean we're over halfway already?? We haven't even had 10 (new) episodes yet!🙈 This might sound a little strange, considering the subject of it, but I'm SO happy with that scene in ep 13! Was afraid they would censor it out completely, or at least heavily tone it down. But no! It's brutal. They committed to it fully and did it justice - I love that. (Also, everyone was complaining when there would only be 1 ep released that week. But after watching it, I'm sure most would agree it's probably for the best😆 Who can even focus on another ep right after being knocked over by THAT??)

Missa

Realistically, if that man was in the passenger's seat of my car I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off him either. Right off a cliff we'd go

JulianPine

I AM SHOCKED! As someone who has read the novel and are watching the show for the first time with Brittany, I am so MAD(mostly sad) that they cut the episode here!!

Chris

ep6 "When did this become a romantic comedy? Where am I?" still gets me! Comedic GOLD. I swear, I've watched your reaction 3 times so far waiting for the next eps :D

Chris

ep 9. Ugh...I am so dense! On 3rd watch realized the parallel's they drawing between Su Ling Nai and her mother (Su Fei).....with our Pei Su and his father. Does one really follow in the foot steps of one's parents? Honestly, I am really appreciating the complexity of the writing here.

RedStalkingDeath

In an attempt to make the hospital scenes less gay, the show accidentally made it even gayer - love that for them (and us)😍 It's been a few weeks now, and I still can't believe ep 15 even exists🤯 We've got Liu Yuning on the soundtrack!👏👏 For some reason, the show's existence feels more real now😆 (For anyone who doesn't know, he's sometimes called the King of OSTs - he's everywhere! Including the main theme of Word of Honor, end theme of 2x DMBJ series + also acting in Ultimate Note) I watch the eps a couple of times without subs first (because I have NO patience...), and the only time I've been really lost is when we got to the Wuthering Heights part😅 LWZ doesn't need the coin to remember him, he can just keep the whole man🤪

RedStalkingDeath

And also, personally I believe in the theory that the show WASN'T cut/re-edited for censorship reasons after it got cancelled at all, but rather that Youku chose to cut some scenes from the first 8 eps on purpose before handing it over to WOWOW. Because Youku still have those eps on their website, and like this they have "exclusive" scenes that people would have to come back to them to watch... (Eps 1-2 on Youku is free, payment needed for the rest, and there's not a single second cut before ep 3 in the WOWOW version!) 🤷

JulianPine

Can't wait for the new ed!

Missa

They really had to go and give me all my favorite things in episode 15? (Ok, I have other favorite things, but this one has A LOT of my favorite things)

Max

OMG I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE UPDATES FOR THIS POST FOR WEEKS AND I DIDN'T EVEN THINK TO SEARCH HERE! Ep.13 - "He's gone to the great kpop group in the sky..." lmaooo true Pei Su's self-hatred is so visceral, like the way he pushed that button again, with such force and vitriol , like he deserves this punishment, like if he does this then the world would be a more fair place, and ooooh boy, that speaks Ep.14 - about Luo Weizhao's character - that is absolutely true - he looks and behaves like a gangster most of the time, but it's so clear that his mind is razor-sharp, and the way he leads his team is ruthless but fair. He's a fascinating character and I think that's neat :)

Max

Episode 15, episode 15... yeah...what can I say even at this point.... Especially Luo Weizhao's face, as he was recalling the explosion at around 29 minute mark - when he cried in horror, while holding that unconscious self-sacrificing idiot in his arms. That one got me GOOD

Joanna Bradford-Thomson

14 and 15, wow. Like my god what an escalation. And the feels!!! Omg the feels 🤯

Chris
>>173833844

Pei Su's self loathing is so palatable. I mean....damn....

WorldWideLove2000

They really had to censor the story in ep 13. Those who read the novel know exactly what I mean. I was getting flustered just thinking about it LMAO

wendy

Brittany!!!! Hurry up to new episodes!!!!! You have no idea!!! I screamed so hard that the neighbors might call the police!

Ezra Campbell

Just wanted to let you know that that the person who runs the site with Eng subs that was updating with new episodes took them down because the videos were stolen and posted on another site. I just went to watch ep 20 and 21 and had to go with MTL ;.; There's a lot of tumblr meta with info about the script that can help you if you do watch MTL episodes, particularly from tinesleftnipple (lol) that someone else shared a link from here.

Ezra Campbell

UPDATE on my last comment, I'm sending you a message

JulianPine

Oh, No! I was waiting for your reaction for the new ed song... Captain Luo sang that!! It's alright I'll just wait another week.

JulianPine

It's the change of the ending song that really reminds us that Pei Su has found he's light and is not heading into the abyss anymore! Also the attitude change since PeiSu called Luo "Shi xiong"!!! OMG, I need a breather!

RedStalkingDeath

There's just TOO MANY things I could say about ep 16-17, so I'll mention just a few here: - There's a clock on the wall when LWZ is making the bed, then another one when they cut to them sitting at the table, showing about half an hour has passed - The way PS's left space for a whole entire person next to him in bed - Pei Su, who owns so many cars himself, is just casually driving around in LWZ's car instead now... Is he dropping LWZ off for work in the morning, and picking him up after? - The GLASSES CHANGING

BlaBlaBlaBla

As a native Chinese speaker, I noticed multiple places where the subtitles of this new source are not accurate or flat out wrong - sounds like machine translated with no human vetting. At some key parts, I’m like, Brittany is gonna scream even more if she knows the more accurate and loyal translation!!! lol. But this version seems to have better video quality and who can argue with seeing PS and LWZ’s beautiful faces more clearly… lmao… hopefully you can rewatch with more accurate subtitles at some point so you are not missing out on the details!!

Ezra Campbell

Ep 18.... I am at the part where Lan Qiao explains the bonding rock and I am CACKLING and wiggling my hands together like a supervillain

avaseofpeonies

Brittany! Merch! "It was so gay I cried!" Tshirts, mugs, buttons, bumper stickers! But yes, I think that the first episodes got re-edited in an attempt to get them back on air in China, but it didn't work. So the rest are just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ezra Campbell
>>174994944

OHHHH THAT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR MERCH!! I forget where I heard this, but someone had a theory that it was so people would have to sign up for Youku to see the full episodes. Leaving them wanting more, basically. They only did that with the first 8 eps since they are the only ones that you can see on the Youku site/app. It couldddd also be some weird copyright thing where the eps that came out in China have to be distinguished from the ones that aired in Japan?

threerings

Ep 18 I love when they're explaining the Bonding Rock and LWZ says "marriage certificates aren't enough for you people anymore?" cause in the book that line is "for you heterosexuals" meaning it's not enough you can get married. So that's a line that very much slipped past. "You People who can get married, unlike me."

Esti Y

In ep 19, after they talked to Zhang YiFan and were taking a stroll, Pei Su said, "not everyone can grow up to be the pride of Xinzhou, right", and Luo responded with, "Where's Han Xiu?" so that's actually not the correct sub haha, he said "寒碜谁呢", which translates more to "who are you teasing/quit teasing"

wendy

‘So gay that you cry’ 😂😂LMAO!! For the next few episodes, I do think you need really good subtitles to go on. Otherwise, it might be too confusing for the case and the relationship.

Ezra Campbell

I'm watching your eps 1-8 rewatch - did anyone give you a translation check on the line "Big Eyed Lan, you can look at hotties all you want back home"? I copied the text from the Chinese subs. The word they translated into hotties is 小白脸, xiao bai lian, which means "pretty boy" or literally "small white face." https://www.quora.com/What-does-%E5%B0%8F%E7%99%BD%E8%84%B8-mean-in-Chinese So, this could have been said in a derogatory manner... I read it as LWZ calling Pei Su fussy/wealthy/overly concerned with his looks but with an undertone of actually thinking he's hot xD

Ezra Campbell

Ep 2 translation note on "It seems our hearts are interconnected." He said, "看来咱俩心有灵犀" The word heart 心 does appear. I'm using Google translate so take this with a grain of salt, but 心有灵犀 apparently means telepathy, and the full phrase means, "It seems that we have a tacit understanding." We implicitly understand each other/ we can telepathically communicate?? That one isn't inherently romantic but the scene still shows how LWZ and Pei Su actually resonate on certain things early on.

RedStalkingDeath

HOW many times have I watched ep 18?? And NOT ONCE noticed the cat being on the cat tower!😅 Expectation: vague implications Reality: mindbreakingly gay New censorship loophole? It's not gay if you're PRETENDING TO BE A HET COUPLE?🤣 Also, ✨crime scene✨ is the newest hot dating spot now. "Shixiong" is definitely the "gege" of mo du/jitd🤭 Been waiting for the reaction to "eyes on the road" since I first saw it! Censorship just taught LWZ to teleport🤣 The glasses changing back and forth keeps driving me insane, and they're STILL just casually sharing LWZ's car👀

Chris
>>175138412

Ep 18. Yeah....I got the vibe that Pei Su prolly already knew all about the story of the stone (why lovers go there) and was totally having fun with LWZ ;D

wendy
>>175075856

oh and I am expecting a ‘fuck you’ between ep20 and ep21. Cuz that’s what I thought 🤣

Chris

I so love how Brittany pauses and goes back to rewatch for clarification; because I so do this too. I love it because it also helps my train of thought.

Ezra Campbell

Ep 21: At the end you were saying you're curious why the novel is called Silent Reading. I actually was looking for something else about the novel and ended up finding a very helpful explanation on Reddit. (This isn't a novel spoiler since you've been watching the show). This is by u/dogshaped: " "Modu" [silent reading] is actually one of the "skills" they teach in school, it basically means to read a passage quietly, without quietly reading aloud or moving your mouth to it (so, the exact opposite of reading aloud). It allows you to read faster. There isn't really a phrase that means the exact same thing in English unfortunately. ... So apparently, the author chosen title in english is "The Light In The Night." [I guess 7 Seas didn't stick with this one, but it's similar to Justice in the Dark] ... In Mandarin, I would say there are 3 "similar" phrases, when it comes to reading a passage, and all 3 appear in this novel. The 3 words/phrases are too prominent in the novel, for it to not be intentional on the author's part. 默读 (Mo Du): Title of the novel. It means literally, to read silently. 朗读 (Lang Du): Title of the first chapter in Books 2/3/4/5. It means to read aloud. 朗诵 (Lang Song): This means to recite. ... The primary difference between this and Lang Du, is that it's being read aloud in front of an audience, almost as a performance, while Lang Du, is more for understanding/for the self. "

Svetlana Melikyan

The title is indeed genius, and you find it even more genius once you know the full story

Once_upona_fae

I still can’t believe we got the whole rock scene in ep 18, I think censorship team was asleep, considering they are still cutting so many cute moments between them by looking at the leaks.

Max

listening to you talking about the ending of ep.20 and knowing WHAT the next episode brings, I'm just sitting here and going 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈

Max

YESSSS! MUHAHAHAHA!

Chris

Man, I thought Word of Honour gave me whiplash with how quick the leads would make-up after a break-up :D :D :D I honestly love it when conflict is resolved quickly with COMMUNICATION. Eps 20-21 were so intense....I felt like we all just completed a freakin marathon. Whew! Brittany, your reaction was so perfect<3 <3 <3

Chris

Guys guys....ep 21 just when Pei Su stood up after Luo told him he knew all about the basement. There is a painting on wall behind him of a dark forest....but with a RAINBOW down the center. I mean C'MON!!!! So obvious!!!! <3 <3 <3

Chris

In ep 21.....was Pei Su wearing Luo's leather jacket?!?!?!

Maderia

Where did you find a version to watch with good subtitles from episode 9 onwards? I’m new to watching the show and have been watching your reactions up to episode 8 after I finish episodes, but the only versions of episode 9 I can find have really bad subtitles ;-;

Marissa Cornett

Episode 21, at the beginning, I love that you were so busy reacting to those two, you still gave some reaction to the cat. I laughed so hard at that moment.

Maderia
>>175911953

Never mind I finally found it on tumblr. All hail this translator 🙇‍♀️

PaleoWild

I guess I am gonna watch Justice in the Dark here with you! I joined Youku VIP just for this and only got 8 episodes and then was left drifting. Heard a Japanese company is airing it but can't find it anywhere... and dailymotion is not my thing.

Maderia

I knew your reaction to THAT moment in episode 18 would be amazing and I was not disappointed lmao

Maderia
>>175891980

Lmao trueeeee. I think Pei Su and Luo Weizhao broke Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing’s record from episode 15

threerings
>>175702075

Also because the novel is structured around a series of classic Western novels. Each arc is a different book. And it's how the cases are connected to the radio broadcasts of the classic novels, which are being read aloud.

Max

NOT THE CAPTCHA Become Human lmaoooooo

PaleoWild

I had to come back into the comments for this.... After Luo Wei Zhao found out about Pei Su's "therapy" He started giving me Lan Wang Ji "after Wei Ying came back from the dead" vibes. My man is now completely utterly devoted to his beloved.

Esti Y

In ep.22, near the end when they were in the forests, Pei Su said "But I don't want to see you go through all the procedure, only for the person [suspect] to disappear." There's another way to interpret this in context, he could be referring to Luo: "But I don't want to see you go through all the procedure, only to be gone/end up ded [referring to Luo's safety]." That's how Luo interpreted it and responded with "What are you saying, can't you wish for better things for your gege?" Obsessed with Luo referring to himself as gege btw..

PaleoWild

I am petitioning for a rewatch of episode 18 in super HD! #TheBondingStone

Marissa Cornett

I don't know if you noticed or not. But I screamed when I saw only these two wearing turtleneck sweater then day after they survived from the bomb explosion. They must have had a hot night.

Chris
>>176525535

I can't get over turtlenecks whenever I see them anywhere. You know they hiding secrets ;)

Max

Du Jia's speech in ep.24 still hits so hard, damn...Not at all relatable, what are you talking about And yeah, Luo Weizhao grabbing Pai Su's badge, ohohoho

Chris

https://ko-fi.com/abyss53269 I know some of you are getting subs from Abysssubs on tumbler. They finally put up a KO-FI in their ep29 post since a lot of followers were asking about it. So I am just sharing if any of you appreciate their time/effort of doing subs for us :)

Emi

Ep 24: Correct me if I'm wrong but Luo Wenzou is not bisexual but gay, but Pei Su is Bisexual.

RedStalkingDeath

That deleted scene would have been the connection between ep 25 and 26🥲 Without it we only have Pei Su touching his forehead at the end of 25 to very vaguely hint at him having a headache/getting sick (which you're not particularly likely to catch unless you either know the novel very well or have read the leaked script beforehand🫠)

PaleoWild

I have queer intrusive thoughts ALLL the time. Even when the situation doesn't call for it.. or even when it's not in the realm of queerness at all! LOL Sometimes, I am amazed at the level of queer-ness filling my brain! LOL

Eleanor Mooe

Hi, so I don't know if anyone told you this yet, but I realized only recently and it blower my mind so I thought I would share it to fellow lover of both dramas. The Chief Producer of Justice in The Dark is Yang Xia, who was also one of the main producers for The Untamed. In her filmography, these to dramas (and one of The Untamed movies) are literally the only things she was a producer for. Such a queen. I now wholeheartedly believe that everything she touches turns into gold and I immediately saved her page to follow her future projects, because I have no doubts it will be incredible.

Max

Your face when Pei Su was all "I don't have trauma" is priceless lmaooo. The amalgamation of the entire fandom's thoughts I mean I'll be honest, I was equally baffled at myself for not realizing the true meaning of "Janitor". Like, it was RIGHT! THERE!! "Oh, that hurts!" Brittany said with the biggest smile on her face and tears in her eyes. The picture of a typical angst enjoyer lol

Chris
>>178677360

Is RedStalkingDeath also you tumblr handle? If so....I think I've been following you for awhile ;P

Chris

"......the opening line of an explicit fan fiction...." 😂💀😂💀😂💀

Cringe Grape

being here to witness JITD and finish it together was a fun ride! i'm glad you watched this, will you check out The Spirealm at some point?

threerings

So to reply to your comments about the book vs show plot, without spoiling. So I think plot wise this is very faithful to the novel, but the book is VERY LONG. Each case is it's own arc with a long investigation which thematically ties in with the overarching themes of good vs evil, victim vs abuser, inheritance and sins of the fathers, etc. But the cases in the show are basically cliff's notes versions of the novel so yeah that's why the pacing feels weird. And yeah there's a lot of romance and relationship stuff that isn't in the show, but honestly they manage to just...cut that stuff while leaving the shape of it there in a pretty effective way, IMO.

Ana

And here we are, at the end of Justice in the Dark. Who knew this day would come? Can't wait to read the novel with you, I think you would absolutely love the book. Are you planning to wait until all the books are released, or will you read them as they come out? About Pei Su not killing his father and his trauma, I think Fan Si Yuan absolutely misunderstood PS's trauma here. He was expecting Pei Su to be the one looking into the abyss and didn't think that Pei Su saw himself as the abyss. Meaning that the way Pei Cheng Yu raised him, how he was always telling him that he was a perfect monster, a superior human, led to how PS never thought of himself as the object of his father's abuse, but rather someone like Pei Cheng Yu (a monster). It's not surprising that he made the choice he did at the end. In Fan Si Yuan's theory, a victim would seek revenge on his abuser, but since PS thought about himself as an abuser, not a victim, and he didn't want to be like this, he opted for a different choice. He chose not to be a monster, his father always wanted him to be. P.S. I hope this all makes sense. English is not my first language, and I tried my best to put all my thoughts into the words <3 <3 <3

Shyanne

This is my absolute favorite of Priest's works. It was just a frickin gift to watch the series. Great reactions! Thank you and Thank you, Japan. I'm looking forward to you reading the novels.

RedStalkingDeath

Vol. 1 of the novel doesn't come out until December🥲 This show is a great adaptation of the novel, considering the limitations of time and censorship. The thing is, censorship doesn't ONLY affect the gay stuff, there's A LOT of non-gay stuff that censors don't agree with too! And especially with this novel, I feel (won't go into details since, you know, spoilers). Can't wait for you to read it and experience the FULL story, in so many ways🤗

Max

ep.28 - yeah, my heart hurt. The things Pei Su went through. "Give me liberty or give me death"... Poor Luo Weizhao too - this guy held his friend's dying body shot by his mentor's daughter, and now he has to deal with his suicidal boyfriend in white ep.29 - I did not expect the twist with captain Du and Pei Su AT ALL. Like the way cap. Du was depicted in some scenes made him look sus af. I don't know, maybe I'm just dumb, but the revelation genuinely shook me. So good ep.30 - almost the entirety of the episode Pei Su was literally tortured, but the only thing on my mind was - omg why does he look so good I mean listen, as far as murders go, when the victim is a owner of the establishment that pray and abuse children in all horrific ways imaginable, it's not like, the worst. Also, as much as the Evil Boss of the Evil Org is evil, the fact that during the ambush he's in the first row, guns blazing and not cowering behind his henchmen, unlike Professor who hides behind his facade of rightful justice and hundreds of unsuspected meat-shields blinded by rage and grief. He is a bad guy, but at least he's honest about it. And I kinda respect that. Just a little bit. THE ENDING WE NEEDED AND DESERVED!!!

PaleoWild

I just want loops of Pei Su slow-mo-ing towards me while putting on that white/cream colored jacket! Oh Ma Gad!

PaleoWild

I think this series now has a place in my heart, right in the same chamber as The Untamed, Word of Honor and The Guardian. I realllllllly hope it is somehow picked up by Netflix or some other easy to find platform... because this is obsession.

Once_upona_fae

I’m so glad we actually got to watch this series, it still remain one of my favorite novel by priest and the actors were just straight out of book and i loved your reaction. I still wish we could’ve gotten the deleted scenes. Here are the cut scenes if anyone is interested https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSS3Vn6Uj/
