Best criminal stories of all time

The Truth Within follows a brilliant but troubled detective and his partner as they unravel a series of interconnected cases while confronting their own haunted pasts.

Maybe one of the best cinematographically made and well-written Chinese detective dramas with good bromance. Nothing felt out of place: the plot-twisting cases are deeply connected to the male leads' personal stories, the chemistry between all cast members is excellent, the dedication to unveiling the truth is palpable, each character experiences genuine emotional development, and the cinematography is top-tier—especially impressive given the controversies and low budget production.
