Ryan Ding without Romance. Who would've thought? I was so excited to see him in this drama because he nailed the demon cat role in Love You Seven Times. Having watched White Cat Legend, I can say that he is the best at playing cat roles.
What I like-
1. Ryan Ding is the only actor who could portray Li Bing for me. He brought an adorable charm to the part. His subtle cat gestures showed great attention to detail. I could see all the efforts he had put into this drama.
2. Their friendships were the highlight of the drama. Their trust and support for each other were so beautifully portrayed. I never knew this type of drama could make me cry!
3. Loved that they didn't force any romance because that would have been weird.
4. The comedic timing was always great especially Alibaba’s.
5. The twist with all the cases connecting to the major one and with Li Bing’s secret was amazing. The pacing of the drama started slow but picked up when all the cases connected.
6. All the them calling Li Bing “Cat Hero” after learning his identity was so funny. A lot better than Chen Shi’s reaction.
What I didn't like-
1. Chen Shi’s character was so poorly written. He was naive and trusted people too easily even after going through so many deadly situations. His character was only written for the brother part. They only showed his character development in the very last few episodes.
2. Shangguan Qin was a strong female lead in this drama but her screen time became less and less and by episode twenty or something she was completely moved out of the story. I wanted a better ending for her.
3. Qui Qing Zhi was shown as a negative character from the start then we came to know that he was doing all that to protect Li Bing. Does it make sense? He had so many choices but he chose the worst one and ruined his friendship with Li Bing. If he could've told him sooner about his plans, Li Bing would've understood. And if that wasn't enough they had to kill him in front of Li Bing.
I would definitely recommend this drama even after all the flaws because it has a bit of everything. Comedy, Mystery, Strong Characters, Friendships and Action.
