A solid 8 for me, mostly because of WXY’s acting — he carried the entire show. Since it was a shorter- length web-series, I can overlook the plot conveniences and the inevitable holes, but the overall story was just too predictable. It almost felt like the director and writer wanted the audience to figure out the villains early. Every time a bad guy appeared, the show practically highlighted them and even added ominous background music. All my guesses were right, including the final villain, simply because the clues were so obvious.

That said, there were cases where the show didn’t give us any hints at all — the murderers just popped out of nowhere. Not surprisingly, I enjoyed those more because at least they kept me on my toes. Those unexpected reveals added some much-needed surprise to the story.

Overall, I stayed interested because of WXY and I wanted to see how the police would actually catch these villains. The ML and SML had great rapport, and the side characters — Dong, Dr. Ding, and Chief Huo — each brought their own flavor.

As for the FL… both the character and the actress… I’m just going to refrain from commenting . Some things are best expressed with a simple eye roll. And I did a lot of that during her scenes. The good news is that the character (not the actress) did get better in the last 4 episodes.

Thanks! I like jumping into the comments best when I see thoughtful insights like yours.

Most of the hunters and those other earth fiends are like NCPs in games. We won’t see much of them except as collateral damage during the fight scenes. The villains are heating things up now but soon, hopefully our leads will reunite to take them down.

That’s a good point — those humanoids could just be focused on the survival of their species. They don’t seem interested in causing trouble or drawing attention to themselves. If anything, they look like they’re staying under the radar. They’re not trying to take over or challenge the hunters. They’re just existing in the background, which actually makes their role in the story a lot more interesting. What is the message of this show?

Oh good - I’m glad there are people saying that it’s a HE. I don’t know why but I started expecting a SE or open one.

I completely agree, the way this group is written is a wasted opportunity — people going through motions without any real purpose or conviction. They keep doing rituals or habits they don’t even seem to believe in, almost like they’re filling space instead of actually standing for something. It makes the group feel hollow, which is a shame because the show could’ve done so much more with their history and potential.

Thanks for sharing that interpretation — it’s an interesting connection. The tangerine scene does fit with what you described about New Year’s Eve and the idea of a hopeful future. Appreciate you pointing it out!

True - why aren’t they practicing or at least training another batch of young hunters, knowing that the fiends have evolved smh

Thank you! Lots to look forward to!

As much as I like the fight scenes - I like that the hunters were smart about taking down the fiends. Almost too easy though.

He certainly looked pitiful - I was wondering if preview for ep 22 was a near death experience for him

Thank you ☺️ I subscribed and will enjoy the videos! I like the actors you featured so far.

Up to episode 20 now, and things are heating up. As more details were revealed about the syndicate, the plot’s getting more interesting. The show has been way too obvious spotlighting the bad guys so far, but now I’m in that “I think I know…but do I actually know?” stage about the final villain. And that smiling killer? Creepy, but I’ve got to admit—he’s a solid bad guy. He shows too much pleasure in stabbing his victims repeatedly.

I love watching Guan Cen and Du Ling Feng tag-team the case. Their rapport is great, and honestly, I wish the show gave them more scenes together. Chief Huo and Dong popping in with some comic relief is a bonus. If I could wish for a spinoff, it would be one about their bromance while solving crimes.

Can’t believe the show’s almost over. Fingers crossed the show doesn't drop the ball at the end!

Xiong-ge’s face after Yan Tuo told that whole love story about NJL was priceless — he looked completely confused, like “what did I just listen to?” LOL.

At first, I honestly thought a scene had been cut. I kept waiting for Yan Tuo to make a move the second NJL gave him that little smile of approval… and even adding water didn’t help move things along. In the end, it took fireworks to finally get those two going.

I am so stressed now and the previews for ep 19 and 20 are not helping! 😫

Agree...the scenes are nicely done and I like the bgm too.

Looking forward to that 😁 I might restart Wanted Detective. I didn’t like the FL there either but she wasn’t that bad too. The problem is me - I just want better FLs for WXY 😊

Whatever she and that Du Ling Feng were doing - she cannot even eavesdrop without getting caught 🙄

After ep 14, she still showed no improvement, still causing problems even when trying to play spy...

WXY is carrying the whole show and he looks so good doing it! The plot is predictable, but it’s entertaining enough. And the camera work cracks me up—it’s like the production team wants us to guess the villains immediately. Every time they highlight someone suspiciously, boom, they turn out to be evil.

I kept waiting for her to level up, but now that I’m at ep 14, I have to admit the FL character is kind of a letdown. She walks around with this permanent grumpy-constipated face, acts tough only with the ML, and then turns into a doormat for everyone else. She wanted to be involved and spy on the bad guys in ep 14 and guess what, she couldn't even do that properly. Girl… please.

Even though he's annoying, at least the SML is a good friend to the ML. Can he just move on to Dr. Ding already and spare us all?

I guess, like the previous secrets, it will be revealed soon :)

I guess more will be revealed later...
