Engaging cases. Solid Choice for crime solving addicts!

So, if you like Ancient Detective or Imperial Coroner types of dramas, you'll probably enjoy this too.

Well done areas:
-Storytelling and pacing of the drama: ~2-3 ep per case. It gives time to develop the characters, and it gives proper time to solve the cases.
-Production: It's at least a mid-budget drama. Sets/Costumes/make up are all pretty good. No over skin smoothing till you can't see the neck vs face line.
-Casting (majority): Not familiar with He Peng but he's doing an excellent job
-Zhai Zi Lu - Always been a fan of his acting but his character is Man Child. Of course, he can act the part, and his line delivery is always on point. The character is hard to like until midway through.

What could've been better:
FL. Not familiar with her prior works, but she has a frozen face, fairly empty stare and can hardly portray an 18 year old. The story character is great just could've executed better. If they casted someone like a Chu Chu (Imperial Coroner) then the character portrayal would've been more convincing.
Ending.... Final case was kind of draggy with semi satisfying ending.

Still the drama is a solid watch! Very Enjoyable
