Some interesting information: -There will be case breaking, revenge, family conflicts/fights, palace conflicts/fights, power struggle, and sweet romance
-Shen Wan/Qin Wan (FL) has more identities than meet the eyes -Yan Chi (ML) is calm and decisive -Yan Li (2nd ML) is playful and passionate but will also be serious when needed -Yue Ning (2nd FL) loves martial arts so will have a lot of fighting scenes -Bai Feng (Yan Chi's subordinate) is cute, sharp tongued, and is involved in FL's and ML's developing relationship -Fu Ling (Shen Wan/Qin Wan's subordinate), closely follows along FL's journey, maybe more than meet the eyes?
-Li Landi said there were a lot of professional/advanced vocabularies in this drama due to her role being a coroner (her dialogues were very long) -Ao Rui Peng said he got chills during certain scenes due to the realistic props -The ladies all screamed after the director said cut due to the creepy music for one of the cases -LLD said the similarities between YC and ARP is that both can be brave and provides the feeling of safety especially during action scenes since ARP has more experience with those scenes so is very caring during those scenes. She also shared that ARP was helping her during their magazine photoshoot yesterday because her shoes were too big, so she had a hard time climbing something and ARP took care of her during those moments. -ARP said the similarities between QW/SW and LLD is that both are smart and brave. ARP said he really respects the seriousness and professional LLD had conveyed with her character. He said LLD had so many long dialogues and he was impressed when she was acting those scenes out. He also said LLD gives the impression of someone quiet but meeting again, he felt that LLD has opened up so much more, became more outgoing, and so much happier. -LLD said it felt like being in a kindergarten with this cast and everyone got along so well which helped her to show her more outgoing side. -Yan Li wears a lot of red/bright colors due to his personality but also due to his self-esteem issues (which we see more later in the drama with his backstory). His choice in clothing is to get people to notice him, -LLD said the props that left her the strongest impression was the corpses during "The Case of the Body Buried in the Well". She truly felt the evil side of humans during that scene.
-The cast also played games such as using short-drama style dialogues (absolutely hilarious), getting each other to say certain words, etc. 😂
Hi ! I haven't read the book, but is it alla mystery and cases, or is there romance also ? Thank you !
There is romance between the FL and ML. There will probably be romance between the 2nd FL and 2nd ML too (both of these characters have increased scenes in the drama and 2nd FL character seems to have absorbed another character's plotline from the novel so that character's scenes will be given to her).
I love this solving cases dramas. And also all crew is good. Cant wait! ♥️
Really hope the scriptwriter does these cases justice. 🙏 I am not worried about the acting but these case breaking drama relies heavily on the script, so it really needs to be good (the evidence can't be simple, it should have twists, the characters can't lose their brains once they start dating, etc.) for people to tune in.
Names of the 8 cases (not in any particular order)
无头新娘案 (The Case of the Headless Bride) 天道血色罚罪案 (The Case of the Heavenly Blood Punishment) 井底埋尸案 (The Case of the Body Buried in the Well) 百草园嗜心案 (The Case of the Hundred Herbs Garden) 戏伶冤魂索命案 (The Case of the Opera Actor Ghost Murder) 锦衣少女案 (The Case of the Girl in Brocade Clothes) 猎杀太子案 (The Case of the Hunting of the Prince) 深宫寒影杀人案 (The Murder Case of the Cold Shadow in the Deep Palace)
One of the producers confirmed that the cast will have a promo doing some Chinese style horror escape room type game (not sure if it is via a variety show or just them doing that/recording that on their own).
New rumor also dropped that the cast will have a drama chasing troupe (they promote together, meet fans, have interviews together, etc.) on 7/18.
the novel has over 500 chapters . I wonder how they pushed it just in 36 episodes.
The drama is covering all 8 cases from the novel so it will probably be around several episodes per case. It is doable if there are no fillers and the drama gets straight to it. The novel is long but like other users have mentioned, the author is just kind of wordy. 😅
Yeah, for modern idol romance genre, this was the best this year IMO. There are some other modern dramas I liked this year, but they weren't idol romance.
Definitely still one of the best dramas this year and we are already in mid-June. C-dramaland has been DRY this year, hopefully the incoming summer dramas will be better with the plot.
I m such a clown for not knowing that this drama was 3rd Collab for Jianci n Landi actually😭🤡 although first…
Yeah, TJC mentioned how he and LLD sometimes randomly see each other on the streets and how they said it would be nice to work together someday directly. Then it happened!
The State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT) in China selected this as one of the three online/web dramas in Q1 2025 for "Excellent Network Audiovisual Works".
The other two online/web dramas being "Under the Skin 2" and "I am Nobody 2"
Amazing! Just hope they wont put Last two in smae time just one after another will be nice. ❤️🔥
Both are iQiyi dramas so it would be one after another! I did read some internal debate going on between whether The Wanted Detective or Coroner's Diary would air first after ADWAD but it seems like Coroner's Diary has a higher chance right now.
