A Captivating Drama with a Unique Mix of Action and Mystery
MLC isn’t your typical fast-paced drama. Instead, it leans more into storytelling, with each mystery tying into the larger plot. It’s not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea, but honestly, I loved how much detail went into each case.
Cheng Yi as Linhua/Xiangyi starts off pretty playful, but as the story goes on, he really explores the deeper sides of the character, and he does it so well. He’s not all about over-the-top theatrics; but when the emotions hit, they really hit. He might not fit the usual "visual" type that’s super popular in c-dramas, but his versatility totally makes him stand out. Oh, and bonus points: he dubbed himself this time!
One of my favorite parts was the dynamic between Cheng Yi and Joseph Zeng. The dynamic between Cheng Yi's character and Joseph Zeng's character is so humorous and engaging. Their chemistry adds a delightful touch to the drama, and when Xiao Shun Yao's villainous character enters the mix, things become even more intriguing.
I get that the slow start might make some people want to drop it early, but seriously, don’t. It’s so worth it. I gave it a shot, and before I knew it, I was totally hooked. If you want something different from the usual romance-heavy c-dramas, MLC is definitely worth checking out. It’s smart, witty, funny, and still manages to pull at your heartstrings.
Easily one of the best c-dramas of 2023!
