Just finished ep 12… Not totally surprised with the ending. Overall was pleasantly surprised with this under-the-radar drama. Glad I spent the time watching it. 👍

Thx for the recommendation... It is quite fun. On ep 4 rn 🤩

Thank You production team for letting Wu Jun Ting ❤️use his awesomely deep voice!!!

For those watching… keep going ep 7 plot A+++++. Eps 1-6 were just a set-up for how the last half/phase 2 will play out. Some of the twists were expected , but not all . 👍 Now I’m very curious as to how the writer/director will choose to land this drama’s ending. Hopefully a HE for the good guys? Right… Right ⁉️

📍As promised… hit the halfway mark. The writing, storytelling and plot are, by far, the super stars 🌟 🌟🌟of this drama. Luckily, we have a solid director and cast that are able to execute a worthwhile watch. Will update again once I’ve hit the finale.

The drama is interesting because of really good writing updates/additions ✍️to what can be considered a familiar investigative type of political plot. Directing 🎥 is solid. BGM 🎶 is pretty cool. I’ve fast-forwarded ZERO times, ZERO annoying support characters. Even with a lower budget production and unfamiliar cast- I’m entertained. 👍

ML’s aide completely serious after interrogating a female seductress 💅 “I think my chastity has been tainted” 😂😂😂

If you are an avid Mini-drama watcher with old-fashioned grace and patience.... This drama is super interesting and might be for you. They repackaged the format into a12ep/40min drama. I ♥️ the idea of the secret guard (in fantasy, not irl) in this drama adding another layer of suspense. Could be farmer, vendor, old, young... Everyone stays cautious because they do not know where or even who big brother is. There are some other pretty cool scenarios that occur- that I will let the viewers discover on their own. I will update when I hit the half-way mark- to post if this continues to be a worthwhile watch... 👍

Going to Dive-In on this one- intro was pretty cool. As was the training/members of the “super-secretive” secret guard. 👍

Havent had time to watch the express episodes (plus Im a tad behind) but I can def say... this was 100% better than most of the K-dramas I have watched recently. (No shade to To My Beloved Thief- that one is actually good!) ❤️

Didn't know about him starring in Verticals- thx for the heads up! Will look on YouTube...

Today's eps... Well that sucks... 😳

Gotta hand ✋it (literally 😂) back to Jiang Daohai as being 🦚

The quick 🦚scene we had in ep 15, the hand looked like a middle-aged guy now… What is everyone’s drama halfway mark…. 1️⃣ choice only guess ❓❓❓

Anyone else applaud 👏 director’s/writer’s for putting a cloth into a newly captured baddie’s mouth so it prevents the death 🪦 by poison ☠️ pill trope? I also cracked up at the blink-and-you-missed-it Zhou Han faking a garbled voice so it looked like they also put a cloth in his mouth… 😂

It's that time again in a drama... where tertiary characters start to have more lines and screen time so its more believable when the 🦚reveal occurs. Off to watch today's episode. ✨✨✨

Plot wise I can’t see the bro being 🦚, bc wouldn’t that mean FL would have to step-down being an Imperial Coroner if her brother is anything but an ignorant participate in any Nanzhao schemes?

I'm totally on board with a eunuch being a betrayer... again. Always so much more interesting to have a long-term enemy plant, in a higher position, within a kingdom. Will have to look at his neck, next time he is in a scene. 👍

Yes!!! I’ve been trying to get better glimpses of people’s fingers, just for that reason! I even took a screenshot of those fingers to have for reference . 😂

I would be very disappointed in the writing, if it means that our 4 leads… and the rest of the kingdom, were shocked that a prince from NanZhou was a baddie. Especially since they allowed him easy access to the three judicials office… 🤦‍♀️ But alas, he does have smooth skin 😂
