Crime thriller, with a plot that never gets boring

For all those people out there who dislike too much fluffy romance, and prefer an action packed, crime thriller, congratulations, here it is! Every episode is filled with new clues, that makes sure the drama never gets boring. You will find yourself finding suspects and clues hidden deep in the story along with the characters themselves. The clues are messy, but in a good way. You will find yourself going, 'wait is hanpinmu the murderer?' then realise that he may still have some good in him. Then you will realise the most innocent looking people actually hide a dark secret, related to the 3/12 case 8 years ago. And there isn't too much tragedy. Along the way, we lose main characters like zhaoganshe, which is incredibly sad, but there isn't like someone dying every episode, balancing grief with a reward for the viewers, justice for the characters. And lastly, the vibes. Gosh, you'll find yourself getting creeped out and invested at the murder scenes displayed infront of you. The acting is so real. MUST WATCH!

I dont get why people dislike this drama so much?

Honestly, I really don't get why people rate this drama so low. I really thought the acting was genuine, and the action was very enticing. I didn't really notice the AI or CGI and this really looked really cool. The actors are also really popular, so it was fun seeing them act in a different style. When I watched the first few episodes, I thought the drama was going to be rated at least a 8.5, but I never imagined that the drama would go from 7.5 to 7 to 6.5 to 6.7. Honestly, I really saw how much effort was put into the acting, the desperation and the emotion was written across their entire faces. I also really enjoyed the OST: Entangled by Na ying. The lyrics to that song is insane. It perfectly describes what they experienced, and the vocals were amazing. My mum didn't like it that much tho.

However, I do agree that the betrayal from Rensusu (Wangchuran) was a bit OTT. Like pretending you were dead is bad enough isn't it? But then you go on the get engaged to his brother and then tell him you hate him, you even betray him again and again, telling him you will go together but then pretending to get married with his brother and accidentally killing his brother, and even hiding his own child from him, and yet he still has unwavering love for you. But I guess yeah, eventually she proves that she is loyal to him, and in his most brutal days she is there for him. When he was captured and beaten almost to death, she protected him and it cost her hearing in one ear. When he was publicly humiliated, she was there for him and she slapped the person across the face.

Another frustrating thing was, Murongqingyi (Zhanglinghe) was also at fault. Throughout the whole drama, I just prayed that they would sit down at a table and tell eachother exactly what they went through in the time that they were apart. She did it to protect them, as she is part of an illegal organisation which takes down criminals, and he was abused, then falsely sent to prison, where they severely tortured him and even severed his hand tendons. They only found out abt these things later on, when it was slightly late. They didn't even get the happy ending they deserved.

Really thought this drama was good, you should deffo rethink the rating given. Bravo, actors!
