CRIMINAL characters but criminally excellent
Well, obviously the main cast — including the “good” character — are all criminals that need to spend many years in jail, which is typical for novels like this.
However, it is written so intelligently and with attention to detail that my list of unbelievable aspects of the show is very short, what almost never happens. So this is excellent work, indeed.
Of course, the ending is too good to be true, but is not impossible.
On a technical issue: the dubbing always make Chinese productions sound off because everywhere else production teams use on set microphones so the sound is way more natural rather than people speaking right to your ear as in this case. Let alone the issue of lip syncing which will be fixed only now with the wider use of artificial neural networks.
