Historical CSI genre is over saturated that it lost its originality and storyline.
Coroner's Diary is a historical CSI drama starring Landy Li and Ao Rui Peng. The acting and some of the CSI cases were interesting. Still, the pace and repetitiveness of various cases made the drama seem draggy and uninteresting to watch by the midpoint. The romance was quick, but it developed into a slow burn afterward. It is watchable but not engaging.
This type of genre is another one that has been done too many times in Cdrama, to the point where it has lost its originality. I may not revisit it again in the future, like the Xian Xia and Republican Era genres.
Synopsis: The story follows Shen Wan, the daughter of Shen Yi, a high-ranking official of the Supreme Court, whose entire family is massacred after being implicated in the Prince of Jin case. Shen Wan escapes to Jingzhou by disguising herself as Qin Wan, the Ninth Lady of the Qin family, where she learns all about medicine and how to perform autopsies. She not only excels at healing the sick and saving lives but is also skilled in her professional role as a coroner, investigating crimes. During her investigations, Qin Wan meets Yan Chi, the crown prince of King Rui. Yan Chi is determined to clear the Prince of Jin’s name, an ambition that aligns with Qin Wan’s own mission to vindicate her father. The two return to the capital together, solving a series of strange and mysterious cases along the way. After returning, the discovery of a skeleton leads to the reopening of the Prince of Jin case. As they delve deeper, Yan Chi and Qin Wan gradually uncover the truth and ultimately expose a shocking secret buried deep within the palace.
