A clear 10/10 in my book
What is there not to love about Shadow Punisher? Half of the Whispers of Fate cast, amazing soundtrack and mystery solving historical fantasy drama is right up my alley.
Story. A prince who lives under another identity is finding out who was responsible for the attack on him but he uncovers something much more sinister behind it. The last few episodes had me really guessing who's side are we taking at the moment. I really liked the subdivisions of the respective cases throughout the story. What I especially loved was that we finally did not have any romantic involvement of the main leads (I've said before that not every story needs it and yay!!). Instead we are getting heartwarming companionship of the four divine constables, gentle moments of the third and fourth prince and that I really appreciated.
Cast. The chemistry between Luo Yunxi and Fang Yilun is clear, it's simply amazing. I highly appreciated that the casting directors did not cast all young actors (I mean around the age of 25) as the main heroes. The main characters required matureness of seasoned actors. I was a little surprised by Li Si's character at first, it was quite unusual to see Luo Yunxi as that slightly mischievous, the-room-belongs-to-me-when-i-walk-in character. I also appreciated Asher Ma not being the kindhearted dummy guy in this story.
OST. I especially loved the song by Baby J. I thought at first that it's Jeremy Tsui singing it, especially because of the scene where it was used (I was a little sad when I found out it wasn't him, his voice is just gorgeous).
Rewatch value. I think this might be the first time I'm giving a 10 on rewatch value on a regular format drama. It's interesting, the cast has an outstanding chemistry, there's companionship, what's not to love?
