This review primarily presents my subjective perspective on the drama as a whole.

Acting-wise, all the characters played their roles exceptionally well. My favourite character apart from the main leads is Zhuge Kong Yun, the red peacock 😆🦚. His sassiness knows no bounds, and his character bears a striking resemblance to Bei Ming's. It's just that our male lead is always one step ahead of him. Both of them made huge mistakes which affected many people, but they learned their lessons and turned over a new leaf. The one thing I feel unfulfilled is their scenes together, solving cases and betting with each other. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) / "🎲

As for the story, I wasn't intrigued initially, but only after reaching nearly half of the drama did I get entirely hooked. Starting from clearing his name and their journey together to Haiya. Boy, those episodes were GOLD✨. The story took a 180-degree turn from a less chaotic city investigation to an all-out combat mode in an unfamiliar land. There was no boring moment at all~ The romance part is sufficient for this kind of drama, and I'm loving their chemistry here. Their buildup was much better in the latter episodes.

In conclusion, [The Wanted Detective a.k.a. Calming Waves] is a unique premise with gripping mystery elements and heartwarming friendship. The cases were interesting and made me keep guessing who the culprit might be. It's a 9 for me~
