Smart Detective? Not Quite ?

Honestly, I’m really sorry because I actually really like the male lead, but not the female lead. In my opinion, Deng En Xi, who plays a supposedly smart detective, should be able to solve problems in a clean and logical way… but she doesn’t. She constantly throws herself into trouble and always ends up being rescued by Shen Du. There are just too many situations where she stubbornly insists on investigating things on her own, only to cause more trouble for herself.

Deng En Xi’s acting also feels stiff, and she often has this ungrateful and guilty expression, even though Shen Du has saved her multiple times. Whenever she’s trying to solve a case, as a “smart detective” she should have facial expressions that reflect intelligence but instead, Deng En Xi gives a wide-eyed, extremely confused look.

It’s such a shame, because this drama could have been great. But due to several things whether it’s Deng En Xi’s acting or how the drama portrayed her character. I just don’t think it fits the image of a “brilliant detective.”
