I started this drama just yesterday, and I was so engrossed that I’m already fully caught up—it was well worth sacrificing some sleep.

Even before the romance has truly begun, I’m already captivated by the main couple and their undeniable chemistry. The fight scenes are awesome to watch, and I appreciate how the show has given both the female and male leads equal moments to shine.

Of course there is the visual appeal to consider as well. There's something about Cheng Lei's stares that draws me in, and Zhou Ye is gorgeous whether she's bare-faced in her military outfit or adorned with all the feminine accessories. Would I really believe that she was a man in real-life? Probably not but this is dramaland, so let's just suspend some disbelief and enjoy the show.

The second potential couple is simply adorable, adding a charming contrast to the main storyline.

While I noticed some valid criticisms in the comments, much of it seemed rooted in comparisons between the novel and the adaptation—something I’m glad I can avoid since I haven’t read the source material.

For me, this drama has been very enjoyable so far, and I’m excited to see where the story goes next.

After watching the Korean and Chinese versions, I am familiar with the storyline but I still found the Japanese adaptation refreshing and engaging. I love that even though this version is more fast paced and shorter, I t kept all my favourite scenes like the one with the hospital bed and the “I changed my mind about doing laundry” ones.

Now it’s time to try the Turkish version 😊

Like everyone else, I’m baffled by the low ratings. I started this morning and already binged all 4 episodes. GSY and KJY are gorgeous to look at and all the characters are very likable at this point! The show has such a healing vibe and I love the potential of romance among the leads.

I really hope the ratings will pick up in Korean and get more attention internationally 🙏

Either they switched writer or the editing team got high on something to mess it up so badly!

Yeah exactly - which editing team would actually think that was a good ending???

I finished it so I’ll wait to read your review 😀

You are correct!
I was glad too, that Jenny was someone else. Yeah, they left some ambiguous scenes to our imaginations. Great red herrings!

Same here! Simply no satisfaction 😒

Nope, we didn’t even get a scene between Fafa and Chang Ran 😡 instead we get a reunion between Fafa and her sister which was sweet but no acknowledgment of her police daddy. And a separate scene of Chang Ran sitting alone, showing that he has let go 😢 since she’s found a proper ‘dad’

What the heck was that ending? How can the show deprived us of the most anticipated reunion between Ran Ran and her mother? Even Deng Yan finally finding RanRan felt so flat! The show couldn’t spare us a feeling of satisfaction 😡
It was nice seeing Ye Xiu Ming and his wife reaffirm their love but honestly, we could have seen less of that and have one scene of Ran Ran hugging her mother. Even better, throw us a bone and do a voiceover explaining what happened to Ran Ran this whole time.

I almost dropped my rating for the chaotic messiness that was the last few episodes.

But in the end, my rating stayed high—because when the acting is this good (nearly everyone nailed it, with just a couple of supporting players missing the memo), and the storyline as well as production could have been stellar if it hadn’t been mercilessly chopped and rushed at the finish line, you’ve got to give credit where it’s due.

This show swept me onto a full emotional rollercoaster and kept me hooked—until the ride eased into a sluggish crawl. With each case receiving less care in its wrap-up, my emotional connection dwindled right alongside the attention to detail. And the ending…I kept checking hoping that Tencent made a mistake and forgot to upload ep 33. Or maybe they were going to provide it as a special episode. Rant incoming in the spoiler section below.

I just finished ep 27 and I think you're spot on! He did seem to have ambiguous intentions towards the wife, and was ingratiating into their lives by wanting to be the godfather.

This was a good watch. I started 3 days ago and got so immersed in it that I finished last night.
Great acting and the plot is tight. LHB's and CRX's characters were well written and I like how the show developed their relationship. I also liked their character development.

I would have given it a 9 if the editing was not so choppy at times. For the most part, the pace was good, and I also liked that the show does not try to explain everything to the viewers like we were 3 year olds. Some scenes are better left unshown, leaving us to use our imaginaitons.

Good ending - it was great seeing how justice was finally served.

Yeah, they are both definitely giving off villain vibes!

I think you're right. His profile matched more to what we have been seeing!

So is it Ye Xiu Ming or Wu Bin???
I cannot wait to see what happens to Jenny since the next episodes focus on her.

I agree - this is the first case where I am not feeling emotional at all, watching with dry eyes...

Exactly, I wish she did have some reaction to show the wife what kind of "friend" she is. "Good" friends for so many years but she still find ways to justify her betrayal...no morals!

Completely agree. Either the acting was not great or she is truly sus...Her reactions from the beginning to later were so off...she didn't behave like a best friend plus she did betray her

I had to stop watching Ep 23 half way otherwise, I would be all swollen-eyed for my work meetings. The actors are doing so well and the show paid attention to even the smallest detail like DY's outfit during the funeral.

I think by now, most of us can guess who the ultimate mastermind or someone very close to him is. It is great to see the net tightening around these scummy people.
