I agree with you. It is actually better than a lot of c dramas. It is also fun to watch.v
Agree with you both. I actually enjoyed the depiction of Dee Ren Jie here, although more sombre compared to the usually more glamorous portrayal in the movies.
I also thought that this was one of Allen's finer performance as an actor. There's a lot of depth and authenticity in his demeanour throughout.
I feel like this drama should be renamed, "The Accidental Hero" or "Heroes - A series of Unfortunate Events". Lol
Sometimes I feel unsure of whether to admire his heroic resolve or to empathise with his predicament. Every single situation (so far, I'm in episode 12) that our hero finds himself in is not of his own making. He's either framed, tricked or just being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this show. But I don't think I've ever witnessed anyone as unlucky so far in a drama :O
Just started watching a part of ep 1 to get a feel for the show, now that all the english subs are released (wanted to watch earlier but only raw eps were available then).
Really starts off with a bang - dramatic scenes and frenzied fighting. All this amidst a sombre colour palette that evokes memories of classic HK filmmaking.
This appears to be the kind of drama that demands your undivided focus and attention, otherwise the subtle meanings of the dialogues and flurry of details might just get lost on you.
Looks good so far but based on most of the earlier comments, seems like this show doesn't end well. So not sure if I'm willing to invest into this.... hmmmm

It's too bad I can't find subs... :(
Will watch once more episodes and subs are out.
It does look interesting, though.
The one thing I would've preferred was that more focus be put on the mysteries and crime solving instead of the love triangle.
But overall it was decent and the cast generally did a good job.
After that reveal in the final episode, that's all I care about!
This role seems to be made just for NGM. Or perhaps the other way round.
Either way, this drama has been a pleasure to behold.

Let's enjoy together and spread the happiness, which is what this drama really is about in the first place :)
Honestly, I can't find a single fault with this show.
It's too good!
The production values are really high and loving it so far. Amazing drama!
Actually come to think of it, maybe at certain angles, a more puffy version.
He's rather fun to watch :D
If you like action and martial arts, give it a try :)
This almost reminds me of Rookie Historian.
I'm really gonna enjoy this :)
