The Best Drama of 2020 so far for me
I started watching C-Dramas at the beginning of the lockdown but this wasn't my first show. I first came across it on Youtube then stopped. After watching some other dramas, I came back to watch it but thus time on DramaCool. I have to say that this is one of my favourite dramas ever. Zhang Ruo Yun did a incredible job as Fan Xian. His personality matched his character well and I can't wait for season 2 of this drama. The suspense, the comedy, the everything was to die for.Plot: As far as plots go, this was superb. There were't too many twists and turns but when the plot did its turns, they were spectacular. I didn't expect the ending at all but if you haven't watched it, prepare for the shock of your life.
Cast: The casting was done very well in my opinion. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the characters. They did well with the actors. Li Qin did very well as Lin Wan'er. She was the perfect amount of sweet and elegant. Song Yi played Fan Ruo Ruo with an excellent amount of elegance and mystery. She was a character that I liked a lot. SHe was the most talented lady and she also held her own very well.
Music: Now this, I have to say was a deal for me. I absolutely loved the opening theme by Li Jian. 'One Life, One Thought' was a very endearing song and it matched the story's theme perfectly. The ending theme was also very beautiful and Sean Xiao gave the opening a run for its money.
Rewatch Value: I gave this a 10 because I found myself watching over the 1st season already. I am itching to watch season 2.

Now, I like a good crime show and seeing that Zhang Ruoyun was in the show- it felt like this was meant for me. Zhang Ruoyun is my favourite male actor and seeing him in such a good show has backed my choice up once again. Story: 9.5
I would've given the storyline a 10 if it wasn't for the ending. I didn't hate it but it could've been better. There were quite a few unanswered questions that could've been answered. The first two episodes were VERY graphic in terms of the displaying of the corpses and the autopsy scene and I was dizzy for a few scenes but nothing I couldn't really handle. They cooled down for the rest of the season and censored certain parts in whatever ways they could. If you don't take to A LOT of blood kindly, skip the first 2 or 3 episodes. I also have to talk about the comical scenes. They had me bawling. It was a refresher-especially the ones that come when they are in the restaurant before or after a case.
Acting/Cast:10
Not much to say here but I loved the cast choices for this show- from Qin Ming to Xiao Hei. Qin Ming is the eccentric main male lead, Li Dabao is the bubbly and sarcastic but also intelligent assistant to Qin Ming and Lin Tao is the assertive yet ridiculously hilarious male lead. I love the The main three's chemistry was amazing from the start. Their personalities just seemed to click and I couldn't think of anyone else to play the parts.(This is why I was disappointed in season 2)
Music:9.5
The theme music was really catchy to me. I found my head bobbing to it when I watched the episodes.
Rewatch value:10
I watched this show in 24 hours and I'm not kidding. I started on 01/07/2020 at around 1 a.m and ended on 02/07/2020 and around 1 a.m. I literally sat in my seat and watched this show like crazy. I couldn't tear myself away for anything other than basic things(food, hygiene, parents). I will definitely watch this over.
Overall:10
This has to be one of my favourite medical shows I've seen so far. I wish they brought this cast back for season 2. I love this show and I hope that whoever sees this will watch it and like it just as much as I did.
