What A Good Investigation But Should've Been Better
This is exactly my type of drama — thriller, investigation, and zero romance. It’s actually my first Dilraba drama, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s good. The intensity is on point for this genre, and the cast? Not a single disappointment. Everyone delivered their roles perfectly.
Some cases really stuck with me, like Lawyer Sun’s. The man who adopted his son was a genuinely good elder, and the boy couldn’t bear to leave his adoptive grandpa. It broke me a little seeing Lawyer Sun let his own son live with the adoptive father instead of him. Then there’s Xiao Xing’s case — equally heartbreaking.
But… I can’t ignore the flaws. Some cases felt like they were cut short. One moment I’m invested in a big, high-stakes investigation, then suddenly it’s solved without us seeing how they got there. Meanwhile, smaller, less important cases get the full intense treatment. It’s like the priorities got flipped.
And don’t even get me started on the ending. I’ve been waiting for Mrs. Zhang and Lin Ran’s reunion the entire time, only for it not to happen. That’s the case I was dying to see resolved — especially after showing Mrs. Zhang patiently waiting for her daughter. Honestly, I felt a little scammed. This drama deserved at least 33 episodes to wrap everything up.
Still, flaws aside, if you’re into thrillers like me, this is highly recommendable. Just be ready to feel both satisfied and mildly robbed at the same time.
