This is pretty unique in terms of how cop cdrama usually goes for 2 things:
1. Comedy as the focus. Chinese crime dramas are usually very serious, this one incorporates comedy. The story is told in a light-hearted way it is chill and relaxing to watch unlike crime thrillers. For a cdrama where all the main characters are members of criminal investigation department fighting in the frontline, this is unusual.
2. Zero private life of the cops. This is quite unusual as there is zero scene about say, where any of these cops live, in fact you don't even know if they are single or married or what not, or what their hobby or do in free time. This is unusual because usually these exist to pad out the running time if not for part of the plot, it means here it is quite fast paced and is actually focused on the case and the police doing their job, rather than other crime dramas that show a lot of the private life of the main characters.
3. The police mc strength is also unique. In other dramas usually they are portrayed as smart, determined, etc, but here his main trait is that he is extremely lucky.
A series like that gets a 7.5? mydramalist ratings are truly ridiculous.
Everything that has no pretty boy or handsome male lead gets low rating on this site. This place is full of shallow people, ratings here is mostly worthless outside of romance idol dramas.
Finally finished it but good gosh it was a slog. Even at 1.5 speed and skipping the most of the last episode.…
Found it a slog too. What's funny is that there's a review calling this "too fast paced" lmao. I'm just skip skip skip because there's so many staring scenes from everyone.
The older brother's logic makes more sense. In a place with ineffective/corrupt law enforcement system and/or weak laws with a lot of criminal rights, vigilante justice make a lot more sense than trusting the system. Ultimately, revenge viction/vigilante justice has always been a very popular genre because human always understood that the fairest justice is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Not years of lawyers yapping, then trying to give the criminal multiple chances to change and become a better person. The law protects the powerful and the only way for the weak to get justice is to take justice in their own hands. Ultimately none of the "procedures" matter from the victim's perspective, the end always justify the means. Look at victims of the epstein class; the weak will never get their justice, only mysterious deaths for crossing the elites who sit above the law.
i wouldnt worry to much about MDL ratings, douban ratings for me ones that carry the weight.... however 8.0 rating…
Never find anything like this title specifically. Not sure what counts as light, but one romance drama I like is Royal Rumours which is really chill and has 0 angst. I also really like the Royal Upstart series.
As for the others you can check my "completed" watchlist for what I watched I guess.
I didn't like the overall storyline. I liked ML and FL's story but the overall story is not centered on ML and…
> They meet friends along their journey who have their own missions and also want to help eliminate the evil sect. So the story is more so about their journey together as a group rather than FL and ML individually.
Congrats you just summarize a very typical video game jrpg story...
The writing is fun and keeps you interested, but the most frustrating thing is how the villains are handled. They…
Sounds realistic. Exactly the same like the villains in the epstein list... you think protagonist "cops" and "detectives" in 2026 can do anything about that? That's just how the world works.
Come on guys what do you mean "Ugh he already has a wife, I'm dropping it", If you're starting a drama,…
That harem tag is vague and need to at least be split into two.
1. Concubine FL navigating harem full of toxic rivals. These ones are heavy, full of distressing, painful hardships. This is what women think polygamy is. 2. Male ML centric with harem where all his women always eventually get along with each other like sisters. These are always chill easy watch with little tension.
These are literal polar opposite how does it even share the same tag? It's like horror and comedy sharing the same tag.
Now this is some quality drama for male cdrama watchers. No hint of BL nonsense, just pure friendship. Don't know why there's no harem tag... but this is actual harem genre with actual harem ending for the main mc (no censored nonsense like "it's all just a dream" or "mc forced to pick one female lead.)"
Have you watched The Long Night or The Long River? Just these 2 dramas alone (one modern and one set in Qing)…
Something I really don't get. I see in other country crime dramas you have cops vs criminals this is a very common genre and the cops always win but it's not a propaganda... unless it's made in China then it's a propaganda? Why is it a propaganda if it's made in China but not elsewhere? I don't see people crying about propaganda when it's a crime drama made elsewhere and the cop also win there...
