"Silent Life, Hidden Depths"
Shen is truly the life of this drama. Her character development, the hidden layers of her past, and her secret life were all incredibly well-done. However, the show struggles with its pacing. In the middle, many scenes felt dull and repetitive, to the point where I actually lost interest in finding out who her killer was.
The story could have benefited from heavy trimming. Specifically, many of the scenes involving Li Dada felt unnecessary and didn't add much to Shen’s core story. While we eventually learn who might be involved in her death, the plot twists moved in circles too many times, making it easy to lose interest.
Despite the predictable story and "clumsy" twists that stretched the plot out longer than needed, the acting was excellent across the board. I also really appreciated the cinematography—it was gritty and atmospheric, matching the dark tone of the plot perfectly.
