Unique, Quirky, and GOOD!!
I had to write a review for this one as it will probably be under rated and it is worth its weight in gold so far. This cdrama stands out with it's unique storyline that has a dark whimsical vibe to it. It engages the viewer with each case that ties into the overall mystery between the ML and FL. The high quality of the cinematography and production value makes it seem more like a movie. I liked how they had different actors and actresses take on more lead like roles in each case story, the acting is well done and kudos for giving screen time to them. There is also dark humor sprinkled throughout the episodes that was done pretty well. There are some plot holes as it's in the mystery fantasy genre but it was acceptable to me as the good far outweighed the bad.The series is compact by Cdrama standards at 12 episodes, it seems to eliminate the long drag out meandering storylines that plague some of the CDramas with lots of episodes. I hope the CDrama industry will continue to take more risks in investing in unique and unconventional dramas like this.

Such a Thrilling Mystery Drama
From start to finish it story was brilliant. It's a well planed and very very eye catching drama. The visuals? Absolutely eye-catching. The colors, the vibes—it was all crazy. iQiyi really outdid themselves, crafting a show that’s gonna be remembered forever. The story hit that sweet spot with just the right mix of thrill and romance.Now, let’s talk about Angelababy. She really outdid herself with this one. Sure, she was “sleeping” for most of it, but when she was on screen? She delivered. Honestly, I prefer her acting here over her 2025 drama EL.
And the pacing? Wild. A new story almost every two episodes? That’s next-level. CiCi Wang—I gotta say, she turned me into a fan real quick with her role as a supporting character. She owned it. WAY, he was serving the entire time. His face card? Never declines. This drama? Unforgettable.

Loved every millisecond of it ! One of the best series of 2025 for me <3
Both were born into two different timelines but still found a way of saving each other & ending up together - how romantic! Isn't it? Surprised & disappointed at the same time that this masterpiece doesn't have much recognition. I watched Wang Anyu & Angelababy's performance for the first time & they both were amazing. Unique storyline & execution, solid acting from the cast & chemistry between FL & ML, nice pacing, great twists everything made this series pleasurable to watch. Wanted more of them actually :)Was this review helpful to you?
BEST CDRAMA OF 2025 So Far
First of all, why are the ratings so low?From The production, the sequence, the storyline, everything was just perfect. I finished all the episodes in 1 day. Every episode has somewhat a different story and leads but is somehow connected to the whole storyline. Angelababy & Wang Anyu's Chemistry was great and 12 episodes were perfect, not too rushed but I wished the ending was a bit longer.

Very unique
Hmmm what a bizarre drama right? I am struggling to rate it just because it's so unique!First of all people might be tricked into thinking the main leads are the center of this dramas and well most of the drama is centered about the crime stories that the comic shows, the ml is there to investigate and arrest the criminals at the end of the episode and the FL is..well bed ridden up to ep 8. How it works is like this the comic that I have mentioned how is initially blank will start having the drawing of the crime, they are very closely inspired by the real crimes but they are twisted in a world of fantasy so the story plays in full then the detective (ml) has to get the hints from the comic and find the actual facts of the crime. After ep 8 tho the ml and fl story starts and it's so cuuuute (romance only on the very last episode tho 😭) nevertheless I highly enjoyed it. Some arcs are better than others but overall I was always invested plus pls be aware of these trigger warnings : violence, blood, non explicit multiple rape scenes and attempted assault especially ep 8 and 11. Overall 9 out of ten

REPUBLICAN ERA WITH TIME TRAVELING STORY
Good plot. Great story.This is the first time travel drama in republican era.
One thing that caught me most in this drama is Wang An Yu and Angelababy's acting. I never thought they'd be a good pair.
I watched Baby in Forever Longing and i got disapointed ny her acting. In this drama however i have to admit i love her chemistry with Wang An Yu.
Wang An Yu.. i know he's been a good actor with good acting. And once again he did great in action scenes. I thought the pairing would look awkward considering his age gap with Baby. I'm happy it didnt happen. He shows his capability as an actor.
Although in some fighting scene, the camera is shaking and it made me dizzy, but overall this drama is worth watching.
