Amazing to absurd
Started off great, with the Cupid NPC entering the detective storyline as a coroner and finding herself in the chaos of a grand marshal's murder case. Soon, the ML, the detective NPC of the game, comes to her aid, and together they begin assembling the pieces of the puzzle to solve the mystery.
The plot became incoherent halfway through, as it turned less about using brains and more about guesswork. The FL was absolutely useless as far as the investigation was concerned, and the ML was mediocre at best. In my opinion, the crime investigation aspect wasn't written properly. The writer dragged everyone, from the marshal's friends to his adoptive son, his concubine, her maid, his son's fiancée, the fiancée's maid, and even his tailor, into the mess, with no proper elimination of suspects.
In fact, in the last few episodes, when the adopted daughter's mask came off, the segment involving the general's lackey being on the culprit's side and then later switching back to the general's side was pure nonsense. It felt very unsophisticated, especially for the climax of an investigation plot.
Li Ge yang was okay-ish as the ML but snow kong could have used some acting classes before the final shoot ..or may be she used the entire drama as acting practice class, RN in 2026 when I am watching this show she did a great job in Pursuits of jade .. clearly these mini drama helped her polish her skills.
In the end , I watched the drama, but I am not feeling very proud of my decision.
