My 10/10 CRIME DRAMA! MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE !! :)

AWESOME Crime Drama!
My 10/10 drama!✨
Everything about this drama is just WOW!!

I'm an ARDENT LOVER of Mystery / Detective / Suspense / Crime Thrillers n an obsessive fan of Sherlock Holmes n Agatha Christie :)
This has brought back the same vibe and warmth of watching my beloved Sherlock - Watson duo or Agatha's works :)

Watched it 5 years ago (in 2020, when it was released) and it's still MY ALL TIME FAV in this genre! :)

****
Very Lovely n Fun To Watch both the boys as Partners in Investigation, just like our Sherlock - Watson duo! :)

Usually, any drama with 12+ eps with 1 hour duration, scares me lil, for the time to be spent on it.
And CDramas are known to have 36+ eps, haha
But this is my first n Only CDrama for which I want more eps n more cases :)

****
Direction is VERY GOOD.
Cinematography is SUPERB.
Production is GOOD.
Pacing n Screenplay are RIGHT TO THE POINT.
Costumes are so lovely for the time period this drama is set in.
OST is AMAZING!

EVERY CASE (One per Episode), the Storyline of each Case is very Interesting, Gripping n ENTHRALLING!

**** CHARACTERS / ACTING:
Leon Zhang from Mr. Pride vs Miss Prejudice, the variations in his acting, here n there, are Impressive.

Same goes with Hu Yi Tian - watched this after CD "A Love so Beautiful".
OmG, those variations in his roles n in his acting, here and there, are Surprising and Impressive.
There, he never smiles or talks n here, he never stops talking or being silly, haha .

Both the actors are handsome ;)

I Love their roles here a lot, their Duo and their hidden Romance, Oops BROMANCE 🤭

*** The Male Leads' DUO:
One uses intelligence n the other uses Physical Strength.
One is Serious n the other is Silly, haha.

Liked the Bromance between both the male main leads (more than that of FL n ML 😂)

The guys' characters are more important here than the FL.

More than FL n ML, both the guys have good friendship with emotions/ emotional connection, during crime investigations.

*** THE TRIO:
Leaving romance n bromance, all Three are Partners in Investigation n she is just a third wheel, a chaotic burden even in their investigation 😂

She is a roommate to the ML, so that rapport /friendship is cool.
The other ML treats her as a sibling, that bond is cute :)

**** MY RANTING ABOUT FL:
To be honest, our boys have amazing chemistry (bromance) with each other n ML has absolutely Zero Chemistry with FL.

Maybe she is just an AUXILIARY ROLE turned MAIN LEAD, written in the last moment or after many revisions and discussions of the story, to avoid censorship 😂

And her character Screams alot - IRRITATING!

She pokes herself in, between them, whether in their Investigations or in their bromance, haha
Also during investigations, they have to protect her too, so she is just a burden 😂

And so She is invisible to me, I concentrated only on the duo .
I skip her character in my imaginations! :)

I expected the ending to be something else with the guys (Oops, like the guys continuing their partnership in investigation n working on many more cases) but she came in between them there too, hehe .

I didn't like the FORCED CHEMISTRY between FL n ML, which is present only towards the end of the drama..

Spoilt the charisma of the drama with her character, should have cut her role completely :/
And should have concentrated only on the Male Leads as JUST Partners in Investigation without any bromance .
(Bcz Heavy bromance or anything beyond, brings censorship issues n so they made a dummy FL role with forced romance in the last moment !? )

Go ahead n Watch it, U'll understand what I say about her.

***** SPOILER *****
That ENDING, OMG! A shock to me !
Wedding? :O
Uff, I didn't see that coming n I despise it to the core :/
(Usually, if there is a wedding n a happy ending, it's a happy news to the viewers but here for the first time, didn't like it, haha)

Happy Ending for the FL n looked like a forced ending for the one of the Male Main Leads
Poor he!

So, Not a satisfactory ending for the guys n us, the viewers 🤭

Zero Chemistry between ML n FL, Forced Romance that is Rushed in the last moment of the last episode, Gave a vibe of a Forced Marriage ;)
And so, Not a smooth closure to the drama:|
Spoilt the ending too :/

If they would like to show a wedding in the climax, they should have built Romance between him n her from the beginning of the drama, instead of including the track in the last moment, out of the blue

Me to the Writer n Director:
Leave my boys alone!! 😣
Don't give any romance or bromance among the 3 characters, just leave them as Partners in Investigation, especially the boys together.
Let them concentrate on Cases alone and not on Love , Marriage, kids etc, haha
Give a Pure Thriller without Romance or a Thriller with Proper Romance, not this unclear love track, killing the mood n the vibe of an interesting thriller.

****
Crime Genre Lovers, Don't miss to watch this bcz of "Love / romance" which is secondary here.
This is a wonderful Crime Thriller, just like our Sherlock -Watson :)

I MISS THE BOYS, NEED MORE OF THEM, NEED SEASON 2 :)
