Lol. I had to check it out because it reminds me of a romance novel title. Then I find its Dai Gao Zheng.
I sometimes wonder if all his contracts requires shirtless scenes and kissing. Lots of kissing. Yes I know its only the first 1/3 of the drama. The kisses will come.
Can someone tell me honestly why doesn't he get cast in longer dramas? Is his company too small?
I don't get why keep blaming the ML being a unless like how, has any of you been a police officer before or you…
Its more the fact that the police team is massive. And they used all the resources for one case. Do you know how many criminal cases they are in a city that size? There are murder, robberies, drugs, assaults, domestic violence, e- crime besides traffic offences. I do know how many police is needed. I even know how many police is needed per shift in my city. I didn't actually comment much about the police work here actually. I just said that the team is massive for one case. No policeman has the luxury of spending weeks on one case.
You cannot write a drama about a murder case that takes 4 years to solve in a Cdrama. Then it becomes a cold case and that will be a different drama altogether.
We are talking about the writer not even doing proper research about the humans and the normal reactions to trauma and if you want to show proper detective work; then write a bit more proper lines to show how much time it takes to get some results. The way he keeps directing people here, there and everywhere. We have their ages. I mean the lead's ages. You do realise he hadn't gone to the police university until they broke up? Its been less than 10 years. Did you hear his rank? They called him Captain. This is a captain of a big city's criminal unit. Realistically did you think the writer even thought about it? I laughed. Do you think you can get to be a captain of a criminal unit with about 5 years on the force? Never. Which poloce force in the world promotes that fast? And they keep mentioning how rural Li Ruonan's home city is and he kept sending 2 men there. Does the station have no budget limit?
So yes, you can like the drama. No one is criticising people who like it. You are the one ranting at people who made valid comments about the writing. Well, I haven't read all the comments here. I didn't elaborate on my deductions here. I actually finished the drama. I am used to either realistic and too gory police dramas on Cdramas. Or the other end of the spectrum silly police dramas. This falls in between. However if you consider this drama being yet another armed uniform/action Johnny Huang drama- the repercussions were fairly light. Overall though ep 36 and characters resolutions were abrupt and lame. I am unsure but the rating is about right. It can go a bit higher because its watchable but its defintely not a 8.5 drama or anything like that.
Holy cow look at the cast. I hate the idiocy of the weekend dramas but have to watch this.
Man I'm going to suffer. I've rewatched 5 enough more than 5 times so might as well watch this. All the male actors have very good voices and the actress a very high sharp cutting through a crowd voice. They certainly cast it right.
Er she went back to work after being drugged and assaulted. The doctor in the ED just told her to sleep it off.She…
This drama had the most empty alley I've seen in a Cdrama. It also made me question the writer. Which idiot runs into the darkest, most empty alley when walking at night. I actually make sure I walk in the brightest part of the road returning late at night. I actually work her slet of hours. In this day and age, is there any actually any female that dumb?
After writing this I thought I saw a Kdrama with that sort of scene. Where the mother of either the male or female lead withess an attack at night. I stay in a fairly good neighbourhood but happen to take public transport because parking is an issue. I've also walked in fairly empty alleys in various cities in Seoul. Since this is China there is no speed dial on the phone, whistle, pepper spray, brass knuckles? The females would have guns in the US.
So anyway since almost all of Johnny's dramas suffers from bad writing- my expectations have been low. However she is one of the most naive FL I've seen. The writer has been one of the worst writing traumatic scenes and then sweeping it under the carpet. However look at the police procedures- it has also been very bad. So I don't think they have ever written a serious drama before.
I think the main issue is that the fenale character is not complete. She has no childhood memories or friends. 2 girlfriends from uni and only 3 medical/ nursing colleague in the whole hospital. She doesn't socialise with anyone except that BFF from work. She was written as a loner. There is no points in her character you can identify with unless you know someone like her in real life. She is not shown as a genius or popular. She is just THERE as the romance.
Shoot. I like adventure stories and this drama is not too serious. I want episode 9 now because I am so curious. I know its a trap but I want it now. Not tonight.
Reading through the comments, it seems like the investigation aspect of the story is a complete mess. I'm wondering…
Well..... Johnny Huang is always good as the strong dependable male. And he kisses well.
I actually like the actress. I think you can watch it and just skip what you don't want. I like the married couple.
I am juggling 4 other Cdramas and 3 Kdramas. I am not emotionally invested in this drama so I am not angsty over everything. The supporting characters are actors I like so I am actually fine watching the whole drama. Honestly. Some people just whine. Johnny has never given me a perfect drama so I don't have an extremely high standard. However his dramas are always worth watching because we don't have a scrawny little thing having an athletic character. Nothing turns me off like a male lead with the worlds smoothest forearms and completely zero cephalic veins. Plus no biceps. Can't run. As in not even being able to run properly.
So there. Thats my take on it. Besides there's only 12 more episodes.
So I have to watch these police men run around like headless chickens until they figure out that WP is 'THE GUY'!!!!
Well I not watching the policeman. I am ignoring them. I am watching the main couple. Anything else silly I ignore. This is the biggest criminal detectives team I've seen. No tem has so much manpower. On one case.
So I watch this couple then catch up on my Guardians of the Dafeng, Blossom, Begin again for the Cdramas. Then When the phone rings, Love your enemy, Check in Hanyang
If im not a dylan wang fangirl will i still enjoy this?
I am not a fan and like it. In fact I prefer his character here compared to him trying to be rich or successful. He is basically a shitstirrer here and it suits him. Its his eyebrows that is driving me slightly nuts. The stylist needs to tone dowm either the style or the colour.
I don't trust MDL ratings, tell me honestly how is it goin so far? Haven't watched it yet cuz my schedule is still…
Well it wasn't what I was expecting. I will say watch it because it certainly won't be like anything you're currently watching for sure. I just zoomed theough it even though I was planning to just watch 5 minutes so see how it was like.

Ep 35 was boring. And is China still in strifee and lack face masks? Did I see the FL put a face mask on her hand? For reusing it.

She was being strangled by Qian Qian's ex in another episode.
I don't think they take PTSD and empathy at all in this drama.
