Same! Someone commented that this show seems like one where even if we have the leads ending up together, everyone else will not survive...
So maybe this is just the beginning....😭😭😭

Li Pei Yi's master - amazing to the very end...
Tragic - Li Pei Yi and Xiao Huaijin forced to relive that horrific moment by watching it unfold again.

I hope they don't cut out too much about what happened!

I wonder hw she got her memory loss - did the show reveal that at all? I think she definitely remembers more than she let on but with Xiao Huai Jin, I think she really does not recall anything with him.

Yeah, Bai Lu is great with her micro-expressions ;D

Was Li Pei Yi jealous of her younger self? 😄
Also, second time Xiao Huai Jin noted that she is not a romantic....

I appreciate their little scenes together in between the heavy investigation. Such relatable cases!

Wang Zhi Wen and Wang Duo were just as compelling as the main leads, delivering performances as great as Mark Chao and Deng Lun. This movie was engaging from start to finish, with strong special effects and well-executed action sequences. While the storyline itself may be somewhat weak, the entertainment factor was high. I also really liked the bromance and the bittersweet romance, which added emotional depth beyond the plot.

I enjoyed this thoughtfully made drama. While the background music can be overly melodramatic at times and the female lead could have acted better, the story, overall cast, dialogue, and depth were good.

The series delivered a strong message about personal responsibility and the courage to stand up for oneself and others. Its stance on forgiveness or the lack thereof was delivered with intention and nuance.

Ultimately, this is a drama that encourages self-reflection and meaningful conversation, making it especially impactful for me.

I think you're right....it was always him who was pushing her, telling her that she needed to shine and make her mark as a physician. She was willing to go on despite him killing people because she had him to motivate her.

Without him, she lost that external pressure. Sure she wants to use her skills and become a proper physician but I don't think she was ever that ambitious that she would have people die for it. Once he was gone, she sort of lost her will to continue.

My view is that suicide is neither cowardly nor brave. It is not an emotion or moral label that we can simply judge and assign to someone. Rather, it is a deeply complex issue shaped by a person’s inner emotions and thoughts, as well as by external factors.

Perhaps for some. For others, it is not so easy to live with oneself. In her case, she may have felt that she had done her part and too burdened by guilt—to continue. We can all pass judgment, but ultimately, each of us does what we believe is best.

In the latest case, what everyone seemed to have overlooked is the emotional cost of all the deaths. Can she truly rise to the top and shine without carrying an endless weight of guilt and pain?

Only if she were a psychopath could she have continued living after everything that happened. Sadly or in a way fortunately, she was not.

I don’t know—the outcome may feel like a win for women, but the means of getting there were devastating. Well done, Show - another good case.

I’m really enjoying the slow burn woven through these latest episodes—the way the leads look and smile at each other, and their heartfelt conversations. Also, I’m hoping the show throws us a little something between Wuren and Inspector Gu too. A viewer can dream. 😏

That's the beauty of creative pursuits like film, music and art. So subjective and everyone has the privilege of imagining and interpreting whichever way they want.

Exactly, and the fact that she only reserved that right of being a mother for herself! Total lack of awareness (of any kind)! Her empathy ended the moment it no longer served her.

I think it was what he overheard her tell his father.

Perhaps that’s why the stories in this show hit harder. Knowing that what we’re watching still happens, just in different forms. People remain expendable, sacrificed sometimes not for any true greater good, but for the self-interest of a powerful few. And the abuse of women, while no longer always overt or institutionalized in the same ways, persists nonetheless, in modern settings, but still rooted in the same imbalance of power especially in some countries.

The ultimate villain in the “Ghost Infant” case was so self-absorbed. What’s most infuriating was how every accusation she hurled at the victim ended up reflecting herself and inner rot—yet she remained completely blind to it. Her self-justification was just infuriating.

I found myself drawn to this case more than the others. While the earlier cases were undeniably tragic and emotionally impactful, this one hit in a different way. As Li Pei Yi pointed out, justice wasn't truly served here. People were punished, but still...

The ending of this case and the previous one felt deliberately unsatisfying, forcing the discomfort of knowing that many times accountability falls short within the palace. Ultimately, it is the whim of a single man—the Emperor—that has the power to build lives up or reduce them to ruin. Fate, justice, and suffering are not shaped by truth alone, but by what he chooses to see, value, or ignore.

I think most people didn't agree with the FL's choice in end.

You are talking about the character himself, and I am talking about how I think the character was meant to be portrayed. I believe the character was meant to be complex given his backstory and everything he had to bear. Unfortunately, it was not portrayed well so it felt very one-dimensional and ended being like a jerk.

If they just wanted to portray him as a jerk, then there was no need to add the extra layers.
