I’ve never been so intrigued with a C-Drama as much as this
First off, I don’t normally write reviews (although I read them to get a general idea if I should watch or skip a drama), so you know if I’m writing one that means it got under my skin (see what I did there lol). First off, story was epic from beginning to end. I started this drama originally on Viki and while waiting for new episodes to air, I went to iQIYI out of the blue so I can watch another drama while I waited. I’m glad I did because iQIYI had their episodes up and fully subbed so I could watch them asap. I like mystery and crime shows and to me, this was a cross between Law & Order SVU and Ocean’s Eleven. It’s a whole big bag of whodunnit with just enough drama to keep me interested. Aside from Tan Jian Ci and Baby Zhang, this cast was unknown to me (although the actress who played Li Han looked familiar), so it was refreshing to see different actors instead of the same ones over and over again, and each one played their role perfectly. I won’t go into too much about the OST because honestly I skip the beginning and ending credits and I didn’t really pay attention if there were actual songs in this drama, so if you’re hoping for a good OST and maybe a little romance, then this is not the drama for you. They have a good amount of bromance though although it took awhile, they got there. And finally, the last episode and especially the last scene, tied everything together. Or did it? Are we going to have another season? One could only wish. I hope this review will help you determine if you should watch it or not, but don’t just read my thoughts. Let the high reviews and praise help you start (and/or) finish this masterpiece.
