Whodunnit with Romance
Landi Li and Ao Rui Peng made an appealing on-screen couple: mature, intelligent, and supportive of one another. It was also a nice change of pace to see the FL initiate some of the kisses with the ML instead of dodging them like most chaste drama heroines.
The drama excelled when the couple were in their element solving cases. When the focus shifted to palace intrigues, it suffered with the ending becoming overly-melodramatic and a bit overly-stabby (although it was an efficient way to tie up loose ends!).
Quibbles: FL's white deerskin gloves remained pristine through all the blood and gore. Hardened soldiers became ill viewing an autopsy.
