X901

Without spoilers I'll just say there's a lot of build up to pay attention to in the beginning that got me feeling bored. Then there's a point in the series almost midway that just flips the entire thing over and I was incredibly engaged like how they went with the story was contrary to a lot of shows in China.

I won't spoil what but it's pretty obvious what happens to the main character.

There's a handful of things that take a bit of just TV magic so I had to quench my thirst of complaining like I'm no fan of how certain more realistic shows end up doing some bullshit science which I won't say what but it's also pretty obvious since it's the first few episodes where I was like are you kidding me...but it does have something to do with a Nobel.

They reused the same bullshit science later on which annoyed me but otherwise the story came together and wrapped up nicely.

There is no love story here which is perfect like I'm so tired of that kind of theme.

Actors all played their parts like no one I found annoying, the main character is a strategist and he plays the "genius" role very well unlike the main character from Treasure at Dawn. Supporting cast all did their parts too. Even the bad guys like I never really felt they were bad because this whole show isn't about good vs evil just everyone involved has their own personal agenda and why they do what they do.

This is definitely not suitable for people who want light heated drama or something funny or cute. There's nothing cute here. This is about vengeance.
