Mysterious Casebook is an absolute must on your watchlist. I enjoyed every single second of this drama — not a single episode felt slow or unnecessary. The pacing was tight, the cases were clever, and the way each mystery was slowly unraveled kept me completely hooked.
Each case brought something fresh, from eerie and suspenseful moments to heartwarming and even funny turns. The detective work was smart without being overly complicated, and the little clues scattered throughout made you feel like you were solving it alongside the characters.
The chemistry between Cheng Yi and Joseph Zeng was just perfect — both beautiful and hilarious. Their banter had me laughing out loud, while their moments of trust and understanding added so much emotional depth. It’s the kind of partnership you can’t help but root for.
Di Fei Sheng was the definition of martial honor. One scene I’ll never forget is when he refused to fight Li Lianhua while he was weak — a mark of true respect. He always says I'll heal you...so I can fight with you...And when he tried to save him with all his might, it really showed how great he was as a character.
Li Lianhua himself was such a layered character — witty, seemingly laid-back, but carrying deep wisdom and a bittersweet past. Watching him navigate both the martial world and these intricate mysteries was a joy.
Now… Jiao Liqiao. I hated her so much — she was manipulative, cunning, and ruthless, yet the actress played her so well that I couldn’t look away. She’s the kind of antagonist that makes the story richer just by existing.
What I loved most was how the drama balanced mystery, humor, and action so well. One minute you’re on the edge of your seat with a tense fight or shocking reveal, the next you’re laughing at a quick-witted remark or silly misunderstanding.
Totally worth it. If you enjoy mystery-solving, charismatic leads, and stories set in a rich wuxia world, Mysterious Casebook is for you. It’s entertaining, touching, and endlessly rewatchable...
Chenyi , he is amazing!
