Leo Yang: carrying the show while dodging plot holes and clingy side characters
This drama is surprisingly decent, and I have to lay the credit on Leo Yang’s shoulders. His performance as an undercover agent who was also a mafia boss was impeccable, a compelling duality of good and evil where he balanced fighting for justice with the sharp mind needed for shady business.However, the same can’t be said for Han Le Yao, and it may not be entirely her fault. I thought her character was poorly developed; she attempted too much with insufficient understanding. Ling Yi only latched on to A Sen hoping to gain information on how her aunt died. Instead, she only became a burden. I’m quite annoyed by Ling Yi’s repeated rescues. I place the blame squarely on her, regardless of her well-meaning interference, which consistently creates difficulties for A Sen. How is an officer supposed to do their job when she puts herself in danger? Instead of helping, Ling Yi has become a liability for A Sen.
The plot, though interesting, has its fair share of loopholes. But if you overlook them, this could be an entertaining watch.

Like the Style but Not the Plot Developlment
7.75Story:
-gangsters
-the synopsis spoils more than half the drama
-we were promised a badass fl and we didn’t get one
-the romance had cute scene but we don’t understand why the met
-it is filmed like a full length drama. It felt less like 24 ep of 10 minutes, and more like 6 ep of 40 minutes.
-I don’t like how the ml was involved with someone else… but it’s also understandable so…
-very good fight and fun scenes
-ending was weird, but ultimately happy
Acting/Cast:
-Leo Yang (ml) acted pretty well. He made miniscule movements with his face, which I thought was cool.
-Han Le Yao (fl). Decent cryer. tbh, Idk whether she acted well or not. She didn't get too many scenes and her face didn't change that much...
-main leads had good chemistry (though we did get to see too much of them)
-Kun 哥 (random male character --hard to explain) Qi Hang has gorgeous eyes.
-2fl was entertaining to watch
-Tai 哥 was also interesting...
-there were so many great sets. Some of the scenery is cooler than full length dramas.
Music:
-I hate YouKu. I was watching this free on YouTube, but the sound kept going out
-however, when the songs did come on, I did like them
Rewatch Value:
-probably not. Nice drama to watch just for visuals
Overall:
I liked this . Come for the vibe and not story

Nice and short love it ?
It's so good and short, finished all in a day. The cast did well especially our ML and FL. Saw many pple complaining about the end It's not so bad. Like what more could you want.She loves him so much she didn't care how long it took but at the end he came back to her.
And he was always there sending her flowers and bringing up her packages and following her ( not in a creepy way tho😂)
I am also shocked on how short the episodes are and I love it.
I have already watched all the recommendations below.
Please if there any more series like this let me know.

I'd sell my kidneys to be able to re-watch it for the first time
I am not the kind of person to like a cdrama easily but when I tell you I LOVE this drama I am not exaggerating. Everything is perfect. A really good scenario, a strong FL who isn't childish and is also strong, no miscommunication between the leadsdefinitely need more episodes that are longer.
100000% recommend to anyone who is looking for a simple but good drama that isn't long.
So the only thing I regret about this drama is that it's not long enough.

Surprisingly GOOD
It’s the first time that I watch a short drama where I don’t cringe half of the time. The acting was good, the cast had sooooo much chemistry (they were fire next to each other), the story had a surprisingly fresh feeling for a theme that has been replayed so many times in dramas.I actually wanted it to be longer, I feel like they rushed the end and that left a few loose plot points.
Totally recommend for a time when you just want to relax and binge watch something hot and intriguing.

Dramma corto ma veramente bello!
Forse uno tra i migliori dramma corti che ho visto finora.L'ambientazione nel mondo losco della droga con tutto ciò che comporta ma la trama riguarda un uomo dal aspetto rude che si innamora di una ragazza che sembra una povera vittima ma poi è una tosta pure lei.
In un dramma così corto colpisce davvero tanto la chimica tra i due protagonisti che è veramente pazzesca, sono fantastici insieme.
L'ho divorato velocemente tutti di un fiato e sono felice di averlo visto oltre che lo consiglio vivamente.

Não esperava nada e entregou tudo...
Eu não li sinopse, não vi nada, simplesmente dei o play no YT e fui assistir o primeiro episódio e meu Deus, virei a noite assistindo porque é muito eletrizante, com bastante ação e movimentação diferente, foge dos clichês desses mini doramas que só fazem a FM ser drogada, casada com CEO, etc.A protagonista é tímida e aparentemente frágil no início, mas logo ela se une ao Sen e se mostra uma mulher realmente determinada em suas ações.
Não tenho palavras para descrever o ator Leo Yang, eu não o conhecia, mas ele com o olhar consegue seduzir até uma pedra. O instinto protetor, apesar de ser um policial disfarçado, que não poderia colocar a missão em risco foi muito bom. A química entre os dois protagonistas é excelente, apesar do beijo ser apenas lá no episódio 15/16 como todo mini drama chinês, você consegue perceber completamente o envolvimento dele com ela desde o início. A maneira que eles se encontram várias vezes, a curiosidade, segredos e o convívio faz com que você torça por eles a todo instante.
O final, pensando pelo ponto de vista da protagonista, eu ficaria bem p da vida por ficar 3 anos no escuro, mas como ele deu indícios de que estava vivo com o anel, encomendas e flores, talvez eu o perdoaria tão rápido quanto a prota rsrsrs
E assim que vem a manchete da operação depois de 4 anos em andamento, o martelo é batido e você só precisa esperar para o grande reencontro.
Sem dúvidas foi um dos melhores mini dramas que assistir nos últimos meses.
