I am a European viewer so my standards are different from Asian viewers. I am so disappointed with the low rating. This was an amazing series, from the beginning with the introduction music and the graphics in the titles. I would like to note that series with beautiful soundtracks are the ones that are most well done. The scenario well written, focusing only on the main plot. I don't know if it was from a novel. The dialogues, the silence, the glances, the body language, the lighting , everything supported a well executed film noire , Asian type .The wife acted like any normal woman. She was strong , decisive , mature, highly intelligent , with natural human weaknesses . Not a pathetic woman, a woman being manipulated, a woman tolerating unreasonable situations. She was suspicious, as any police officers should seek the actual facts and as any woman in relation is natural to be. And then I discovered this talented actress Song Jia. Maybe Chinese movies have excellent actors and actresses but in cdramas they are rare. And credit should be given to the director. They are mostly responsible for the outcome but we usually neglect them.
