What u must know before starting this drama
My opening statement - I have mixed feelings. The actors did their best, there was a strong female lead and slowburn romance.
Positives:
1. Cast
2. Strong female lead
3. More focused on the plot, as in, cases instead of romance - something different
Negatives:
1. Boring - the plot just gets boring. As we live in the modern world and many of us aren't from china, it is as it is challenging to follow the mysterious cases and the methodology of solving such cases. So, when directing such detective thriller historical dramas, special attention has to be paid to details and it has to be made sure that the viewers can understand the story. Thus I believe the main reason I found it boring despite such strong leads was poor storytelling.
2. Some cases just don't make sense and the drama runs for so long. That's a bummer.
This drama would never be my first choice. I'm expecting much more from Bai Lu's and Cheng Lei's drama 'Mo Li'.
