MASTERPIECE 100000/10

I didn’t want this show to end but at the same time, waiting for each new episode was driving me mad! Justice in the Dark had me completely hooked.

The direction is sharp and intentional, every scene crafted with care. The cinematography is stunning. Those shots are breathtaking. It's a high-quality production through and through, and you can feel the effort poured into every frame.

The storyline is gripping. I’ve always loved Priest’s novels. They’re consistently rich in both plot and character development.

The dark, gritty vibe of the drama is exactly how I imagined it while reading the novel. It feels true to the tone of the original work.

Zhang Xin Cheng is incredible as Pei Su. I first saw him in Go Ahead, and I almost didn’t recognize him here. He transforms completely. He’s such a versatile actor and his portrayal of Pei Su is layered, raw and deeply emotional. Every subtle expression hits hard. Also... he looks insanely good in glasses ^_^

Fu Xin Bo as Luo Wei Zhao? Brilliant. The casting team really knew what they were doing. His performance brings so much depth and complexity to Old Luo. He completely commands every scene he’s in.

The chemistry between Pei Su and Wei Zhao is magnetic. The unspoken yearning, the lingering gazes, the way they care for each other in moments of quiet tenderness. The beauty of it all is in the subtlety.
This drama doesn't need grand declarations. The storytelling, acting, and direction are so refined that the message reaches us loud and clear: this is, in essence, a love story. And that’s what makes it hit even harder.

and it's a HAPPY ENDING!!!

I’m just so thankful that Japan decided to release this. We waited two whole years after episode 8. It was agonizing. We begged, we hoped, we nearly gave up. And just when I was starting to lose faith, Japan stepped in. I’ll never forget that. It was truly heroic!
