Intriguing start, but faltering focus: A mixed experience
This drama started off with an interesting concept, especially with the female lead, Yan Xing, working in the Department of Justice. Her strong investigative abilities added depth to the story, and the initial banter-turned-romance between Yan Xing and the male lead, Shen Du, was enjoyable to watch.
However, I felt that the drama struggled to maintain its initial momentum. It began with Shen Du investigating the cause of his family's death, but the focus eventually shifted to another case, which dominated the storyline. This change in direction made the plot feel less cohesive than expected.
Additionally, the second male lead took on a more prominent role towards the end, and while his character arc was significant, I wasn't sure if it warranted that much emphasis.
As for the cast, this was my first time watching Ding Yu Xi (Shen Du) and Ancy Deng (Yan Xing), so I don’t have much to compare their performances to yet. However, Ding Yu Xi left a strong impression, and I’d be interested in checking out more of his works in the future.
