Very unique, intriguing, mesmerizing - will make you beg for more
Oh boy, Ancient Detective is one of those rare but golden treasure, hidden among the vast amount of dramas.
Story
Intriguing, thrilling, and will make your mind explode at the logic and the mystery that each tale holds. It's the type of story that makes you want to learn more but lets you learn bit by bit in each episode. It may be your typical "whodunit" but the process of finding clues and catching the killer, interrogating suspects is well told and it's just so... amazing. MIND BLOWN all the way
Cast
GREAT CASTING. I've never watched dramas from this set of actors before but they exceeded my expectations. The acting wasn't cringy, it seems so real and in line with the tone whether it was a time to get serious, sarcastic, fun, tragic, and so on so forth. The main leads and the supporting acts did a really good job of getting the viewers to feel like they're one of them and are with them on their journey. The acting was top-notch and never felt fake, they relayed their emotions well and the chemistry for me was there.
Music
This is the first Chinese drama that I've watched with an opening that doesn't have any lyrics and yet it was one of the best openings I've seen! The music from the opening gives you the vibes of going through a world, their world, and will make you want to watch in awe. Aside from that the songs used does suit the scenes well.
Production
What can I say but oh boy, the main reason aside from the story that made me watch the drama more and more was because of the amazing and very cinematic feel starting from the camera shots up to the costumes, sceneries, the settings... everything was super cinematic. So huge applause to whoever did the camera works for this, I hope I can see more dramas that are just as cinematic as this one.
REWATCH? DEFINITELY! Once you've finished the drama, I bet you'll watch it again to see what you've missed.
THIS DRAMA IS REALLY GOOD, MUST WATCH 10/10
