Blame it on the lame writing
It was one of those dramas that people drop with lin first 5 episodes. The writer has no skill of story presentation. Even as a viewer i know you have press that impact in very first episodes to bind the viewers, whereas in this drama the first few episodes were the least impactful. Moreover the plot seemed quite confusing with events not in harmony with each other or the time leaps. Many a times you will find the time leap in the plot and what they mention in their dialogue doesn't match.
Moving forward it was a villain(s) oriented plot ..they just kept coming One after the other, whereas the temperament of the main leads was not convincing enough to tackle these. They could not provide the thrill that I was expecting from such case and criminals' long list.
Characters
Male lead is an investigating officer who is face blind (his face blindness made not much difference in the plot though). He was fine but not very smart in my opinion. If you consider closely none of his enemies was actually defeated by him, they either killed each other or committed suicide or well arrested by the other dept officer. He didn't achieve much without FL or other friends' help. It was frustrating to see his obsession with finding evidence and king's acknowledgement of his investigation😐 (while the king himself was a big loser his entire city is dumped in drugs for 20 years under his nose and he is waiting for god damn evidence 😮💨). He couldn't even fight the last villain who almost killed the FL. I personally don't prefer such ML. I like the ones who can play both sword and shield.
Yunxi luo did amazing job playing the lead ..he is one of my fav. He always bring his top-notch performance on the screen. It's always a delight to watch him.
Female lead was the real star for me. She is intelligent, beautiful, kind, street smart, loyal, successful businesswoman, resourceful and extremely focussed with whatever she does🤌. girl is dealing with a strange disease which makes her shapeshift around full moon, but she is smart enough to put this weakness to a good use and help ML with investigation. ❤️
It was my first time watching song yi work. I must say she is good . She has this unique charm that attracts the viewers plus her acting skills are also very nice.
Chemistry between the two is okay ... Yunxi 's chemistry with his co-actresses is often judged against his chemistry with bai lu ( that's a given their comfort with each other resonates on different levels) but I can't say Yunxi and song yi don't make a good pair.
Other characters
ML' sister: grown up brat who wants to own every person's secret and wants to be a part of every secret plan but can't keep any of these secrets to herself. She is a Big time troublemaker. ( Later turned goody-goody 😒)
Shang being li : hot blooded guard commander who acts before thinking ..very opposite to what our ML provides. NGL at many instances in the plot i liked him more than ML who was just .. well ...flat in his actions.
Tong sai er: country girl with good martial art skill .. she is loyal hard working and straight forward but aloof in love matters ..i liked this character a lot and she and the FL make a good duo
Other than that I liked also like phantom doctor/FL's mother character she was more helpful in 3 episode than the ML is entire series.
Music : the ost wasn't too impressive but other background song were so so so lovely ...THE SONG 'HEART'S LETTER' WAS THE BEST ... The BGM in this show made me remember the BGM of back from the brink( the most fav show so far) .
the cast did a great job with their respective characters but Blame it on the lame screenwriting the drama couldn't impress me much.
