I thought this show was going to be something like Sherlock or Love Me If You Dare because the summary from MDL kinda gives similar suggestions. But alas...it is completely different.
This is basically a case by case show. The focus on the cases is really the entire show. It doesn't really showcase any background information of the characters. There is a bit of humor like small jokes, jabs and sarcastic scenes between the characters, but like I said, it revolves solely around the different cases. I thought the main mc, Qin, would be like those genius characters I mentioned before but he really is just displays his socially awkwardness and that's it. You don't really get the full extent and knowledge of the personalities of any one of the characters. It really is based on your own interpretation of what the characters are like. There is no romance, no background struggles besides from solving the cases. Episodic. Like I mentioned, besides from a little humor here and there, nothing else. Acting wise, I have no compliments or complaints. I don't think I'm going to rewatch this show. It really is kinda dull and one sided when telling the story of the cases. The cases though, are somewhat interesting. The gruesomeness of the forensic investigations aren't especially high but to people that are weak to even just seeing somebody cut open a cadaver or seeing large amounts of blood, then it is on the slightly grisly side.
If you are solely interested in a mystery and like watching how cases are being solved, then this show is for you. It cuts out all the fluff of the character relationships, backgrounds, etc and focuses on the process of how the police force and forensics professionals solve the cases.
