A thriller that treats the teleporter like a detective too.
Generally, new-generation thrillers spoon-feed you everything, but The Truth Within is different. It treats you like you're part of the team, giving you the pieces to put together, making it so immersive. Everything is so well-written and mysterious. I like series like this, where I'm treated as someone who also wants to unravel the mysteries. The plot involving Qi Sizhe and Han Feng intrigues me so much; I want to know more about them, I want to know the reasons why their relationship is so bad, so bitter, so distrustful. I really like the cast; they're all great actors, and the villains are top-notch. Watch The Truth Within if you like series like Criminal Minds and CSI.Was this review helpful to you?
Luo Yunxi is being brilliant again
So, at first I wasn't too happy with this drama. The first episode didn't really get me with the usual tropes of police behaviour. You know; yelling at the handcuffed suspect, slapping papers on desks, having the though guy attitude, female cop dressing like a butch, etc. I was seriously contemplating dropping it, then it finally became interesting.Luo Yunxi plays a brilliant forensic pathologist with the ability of remote crime solving. And this is already good enough, but thankfully, the drama doesn't revolve only and solely around him. His charisma and aura rule his scenes, but in meantime, he also gently downplays his own presence. He feels the difference between his xianxia and modern characters perfectly and doesn't aim to be the overruling star of every episode.
The crimes are interesting enough, the riddles are entertaining and creepy, clues are well and carefully hidden. The amount of horror is only as much as it's needed, like cognac in your coffee.
I like it. My favourite part, however, is the fact that this is the fourth time that Nian Baiyu (Li Jiahao) escorts our Tantai Jin to his endeavours. Well, we all heard him promising that he'd always stand by his Lord 😃
Nice modern drama and that comes from one who doesn't like modern dramas. Not even with Luo Yunxi. But this one gets green light from me.
