Unriddle 2 returns: A series unlike most local Chinese dramas

From: Sharon Lee

Missed Unriddle 2? The 2012 psycho-thriller is now back on television.

The gritty 20-part crime drama starring Rui En, Chen Liping, Rebecca Lim, Tay Ping Hui and Elvin Ng won plaudits from critics and snagged Rui En a Best Actress award at the recent Asian Television Awards.

Rui En, Chen, Tay and Ng star as CID officers out to solve a series of cases. As they delve deeper, they soon realise things aren’t as simple as they seem. Lim plays a psychiatrist and Rui En’s good friend but is she as innocent as she looks?

The nail-biting drama caught my attention when it first aired last year. It was also the only Channel 8 drama that I watched faithfully every night. Clearly, I wasn’t the only one as the finale attracted 1.047 million viewers.

Unlike most run-of-the-mill MediaCorp dramas featuring everyday characters centred around home affairs, Unriddle 2 stands out with its suspenseful storylines and high production values.

The characters, in particular Rui En’s Xiaoman and Chen Liping’s Zhengyi, also displayed good chemistry together.

Unriddle 2 airs on weekdays at midnight on MediaCorp’s Channel 8.
