It really felt like a long night
I said it felt like a long night because everything about this drama is dark.
Whether it's the story or the overall color grading, the atmosphere is consistently dark. Some night scenes are so dim that you can't see everything clearly, but they're still bright enough to show the details that matter. Whether it's day or night, the visuals always feel darker than in most dramas, which perfectly matches the tone of the story.
The acting is top-notch here, especially Bai Yu's. His performance felt incredibly real and emotional.
One thing I really liked was how determined the characters were to solve the case, with some of them even sacrificing their own lives for it. Sadly, crimes like this are not uncommon in real life. What's uncommon are people like Jiang Yang, Zhu Wei, and the others. The drama does a great job of showing why many good people choose to stay silent, it's simply beyond their power, and if they get involved, they risk destroying not only their own lives but also their families. Only people like Jiang Yang and Zhu Wei would be willing to risk everything. And even then, their lives were ruined despite eventually bringing justice to the case. Imagine dying as someone with no status, no achievements, and a criminal record, only for the truth to come out and justice to be served after your death. That was heartbreaking.
Another thing I loved was how the drama handled multiple timelines simultaneously. It seamlessly switched between two or three different timelines without making the story confusing, and everything came together perfectly in the end.
I highly recommend this drama to anyone who enjoys crime and mystery. It's emotional, gripping, and definitely worth watching.
