Why Yan Li didn't get throne?? He is legitimate son of Yan Han (fake emperor). In reality he is also royal blood.…
Because he doesn’t want to be drawn into palace affairs. All he desires is a free, unrestrained life—something he repeatedly makes clear throughout the drama.
Finished watching it last night, and overall I’d say Agents of the Justice: Coroner’s Diary is a well-crafted drama that’s definitely worth your time. Of course, it’s not without flaws—especially in the crime-solving logic. Take the first case, for example: when they tried to identify the beheaded body, Qin Wan concluded it must be the real bride simply because of the calluses on the hands from playing the guqin. Honestly, that deduction felt a bit shaky. Anyone else could’ve had similar marks—it wasn’t strong enough to be taken as solid proof.
What I truly appreciated, though, was the main couple’s relationship. From the very first episode to the last scene, it was refreshingly healthy. No forced misunderstandings, no unnecessary breakups, no dragged-out conflicts—just mutual respect, trust, commitment, and support. Yan Chi is honestly too good to be real.
I also liked the way the drama ended—not only did Shen Wan and Yan Chi get married, but they clearly continued working together, solving cases and fighting for justice. That felt more meaningful than a typical romantic ending. Still, the finale did feel a little rushed. One thing that bothered me was that the story never clearly showed Shen Yi’s and Prince Jin’s names being publicly cleared, even though this had been a major goal for both leads. It stayed vague, almost hidden, which felt like an unfinished thread.
Another aspect I didn’t love was how everyone just went along with concealing the truth about the fake emperor—for the sake of national stability. It left a strange taste, as if justice took a back seat when it really mattered most.
That said, it’s still a solid drama. The cast did a great job with what they were given. Ao Ruipeng looked absolutely dashing, and his action scenes were top-notch. A real standout for me was Liu Yihong as the repulsive Prince Cheng—especially since I’d only seen him before as the lovable Tao Ze in Justice in the Dark. His performance here was truly impressive.
Honestly, I’d love to see Ao Ruipeng and Li Landi paired again—maybe in a modern crime or police drama. I think they’d nail it.
It looks like we will have a vampire case 🦇😅. There is definitly something off with Sun Haoyue. I hope Yan Chi will show up there soon. It was also funny how he twitched when the brother started to speak, clearly aware that the brother also laid his eye on our FL and would bring up the wedding.😂
The investigation line is really well done. I can follow every step and their conclusions, which isn’t always the case in historical investigation dramas—often, I can hardly tell what’s going on. For example in the drama "Melody of Golden age" the case solving line was bad and not engaging at all. Here they really focus on details and proper storytelling. The first case withthe bride was great. The second case, about the Qin family, is also interesting. I still have no idea who the culprit might be, but the family is a mess. I definitely wouldn’t want to be part of it. Well, I’m definitely hooked and will watch it till the end!
I just finished watching Seven Relics of Ill Omen. While it’s not exactly a masterpiece, it’s still a thoroughly enjoyable drama and definitely worth watching. What made it truly engaging for me was the Phoenix Quad — their bond, their friendship, their dynamics. I loved every single one of them; their chemistry carried the show and gave it so much heart.
That said, I have to admit… the chicken 🐔 totally stole my heart! 🤣
I’m always drawn to stories that mix mystery, adventure, and strong emotional connections between characters, and this drama delivered on all fronts. It had moments of suspense, humor, and touching loyalty — the kind of group dynamic that makes you wish you were part of their team. Overall, it was a pleasant and satisfying watch.
It has been a long journey, and now it has finally come to an end. I feel both sad and happy at the same time—sad because I don’t want to part with the characters and the story, and happy because I had the chance to watch such a beautifully crafted adaptation.
After the series was taken down following the release of just the first eight episodes, there was almost no hope that we’d ever get to see the rest. So it truly feels like a miracle that the show was able to return from the shadows into the light.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible, and to all those who kept waiting—it was definitely worth it. Despite the censorship, the show gave us so much more than we could have ever imagined from a censored BL adaptation. I know I’ll be rewatching it again and again.
Thinking about it, I also believe it might have been a blessing in disguise that Justice in the Dark never officially aired in China. Without the promotional events and the intense fan hype, the lead actors were protected and able to continue their careers in peace. As we’ve seen with other successful BL adaptations like The Untamed and Word of Honor, official promotion and large-scale fan events can sometimes have a negative impact on the actors involved.
I’m completely satisfied. It was worth every moment of the wait.
I won’t say goodbye to this show—just see you next time!❤️
First three episodes are okay. Probably a remake of Five Enough., I feel the FL was a bit miscast. Or maybe miss-dressed…
Strongly agree! The first scene, where she waked up with full make up and lip gloss crack me up. Like here we go again. Can't the production team make it more down to normal people life? I couldn't believe a single word, when she listed all the "hardship" she had to go through after her husband left her. Itjust didn't match up with how she looks and how she live (like in a big and cozy appartement).
How did they manage to produce such serious and at the same time hilarious drama? Pak Bo Gum is insane in this drama as well. I especially like the dynamic between Yun Dong Ju and Ko Man Sic.

This family is full of psychopaths.💀
