Young Sherlock

Young Sherlock is based upon the Judge Dee stories.

The Chinese drama is intriguing. Yet can movie along slowly. So there are three main plots, essentially.

One is the Di renjie storyline with all the mysteries.

The second is the Emperor and the palace.

The third is the people in the cave. These people are lead by bird guy. We don't find out much about him until the end. I'm only on episode 23 out of all fourty.

I did skip to the end out of boredom. Spoilers ahead.

The ending is a cliffhanger. Sorta. The love interest of Di, named Wan Qing, runs away. I don't know why, other than she thinks they shouldn't be together. So she becomes a nun again. She was raised in a nunnery until Di and his friends solved a mistery there, so she joins them. So, the drama ends with Dee keeping his promise at the beginning about wanting Wan Qing to come back. So he goes out to search for her.

The ending should have had another episode where he spends "forever " looking for her and he finds her at last. But we will never know. Since it just shows him riding a horse and the voice over going : " I will definitely find you and return. Li Wan Qing." Does this mean there will be a part two? What if he never finds her? There is no producer who will clarify that ending. (Unlike how Bryan and Mike dispelled any ambiguity for The Legend of Korra.) I'm just so agitated. Just have them meet and make up and walk into the freaking sunset.

So throughout the drama, he solves cases. He is successful on all of them. Even it takes forever. I mean several episodes.   With that said, this is a good drama. Unfortunately, it's not subbed in English. So sometimes even I have no idea what they're saying.
