I am a fan of the Chinese republican era so I found this BEAUTIFUL drama because I wanted to see something like "Detective L". If you like dramas with mystery, fantasy, Chinese republican era, comedy and an AMAZING BROMANCE, you cannot skip this one.
I cannot lie, maybe in the first episodes I was really confused about what was going on, the topic of people using hypnosis to get into the brain was, in fact, weird. However, a weird topic can lead us to some good new stories, and Psych-Hunter is one of them. As I said, the first 3 episodes were confusing, but when you realize what is going on you are extremely curious about how are they going to solve this puzzle.
One of the best things about this drama is that all the cases are related to one big case that involved our dear ML, Jiang Shuo. So, everything is about him, He has the key that can solve every single case that are happening in the city, but he has amnesia, so we have to collect each of the pieces to get the final answer, but let me tell ypu, ypu have to be prepared, because when the tell us the truth about what happened it will blown you mind.
Okay, another "well done" in this drama are the perfect Male leads. God, Jiang Shuo, who is played by Neo Hou, and Qin Yi Heng, played by Liu Dong Qin, are the real jewel of Psych-hunter. The bromance between these two is amazing. I fell in love with their friendship and I think that is the principal point of the drama. You have to fall in love with these two in order to feel genuinely the final episodes.
Nevertheless, no drama can be perfect, and sadly Psych-hunter have a ENORMOUS PROBLEM. They tried to include a "strong female lead". Omg, the most annoying character, the most usless "detective". I mean, she was only the daughter of the General and that was the only reason why she can be with the police, but she is SO USLESS. Mu Qing is the typical Female lead that thinkS that she is smart but always gets into problems and have to be rescued by the male lead. THAT WAS SO ANNOYING.
To finish, I have to say that Psych-Hunter have done something right were the scenarios. OMG, there were fantastic, when they get us into the brain of the victims or the bad guys everything was sureal and was related to the case they were solving. Maybe some of them seemed weird, but they were really few.
I really recommend Psych-hunter, it is worth watching and the combination of mystery, historical, horror and Bromance was spectacular. If you want to watch something interesting, funny but with some pinches of tension and horror, you have to watch this drama.
