Romance hard carried the entire series

It came highly recommended to me, so I was genuinely excited to dive into a mix of mystery and romance.

The characters made a strong first impression: a smart, capable male lead and an equally—if not more—brilliant female lead.

Their dynamic was built on mutual competence in their respective fields, which translated well into romantic chemistry. They matched perfectly, at least in that aspect.

I also appreciated the attempt to make the cases “complicated,” but even as a non-technical viewer, it was easy to spot how illogical and far-fetched they were. That made the mystery side of things harder to take seriously.

The characters also felt flat. The leads were portrayed as flawless and perfect, which stripped away the opportunity for depth, especially considering the themes of revenge and justice they were supposed to be navigating.

If you’re here for the romance, it’s a decent watch. But if you’re hoping for good mystery or detective work, this is not the best choice.
