More Than Just Romance
This drama delivers an excellent blend of romance, crime, and suspense. The romantic storyline was well-balanced and never overshadowed the main plot, which kept the show gripping from start to finish. While some of the criminals were fairly easy to identify due to the filming choices, the final case involving Yan Ze was a genuine plot twist that completely surprised me.
I particularly appreciated how the story came full circle with the society organization, tying all the loose ends together in a satisfying way. The writing was strong overall, and the performances by the cast were outstanding. That said, I did feel the female lead was written a little too perfectly—she solved every problem with ease, leaving little tension in her arc. Still, ARP’s performance stood out to me, and it was refreshing to see him take on this kind of role. I truly hope to see him in similar characters in the future.
One of the aspects I really liked was the moral resolution: every character who did wrong faced consequences, which made the story feel complete and just. The pacing was consistent, and the touches of romance added warmth without taking away from the crime-driven narrative. Unlike many recent shows with “enemies-to-lovers” tropes, this drama offered a straightforward, natural love story that unfolded smoothly. It was a refreshing change of pace.
Overall, this is a very well-executed C-drama that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys detective mysteries with suspenseful twists. With its balanced storytelling, strong acting, and satisfying conclusion, it’s a must-watch for fans of the genre.
