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, as each mystery is tied to the larger plot. It’s not 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 gets to explore the deeper sides of his character, and he does it so well! After all, this is Cheng Yi! He’s not at all about over-the-top theatrics; he is subtle, but when the emotions hit, they really hit. CY might not fit the usual "aesthetic" that’s popular in c-dramas, but his versatility totally makes him stand out from other actors. Oh, and bonus points: he dubbed himself this time!
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.
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 it. It’s smart, witty, funny, and pulls at your heartstrings in all the right places.
Easily one of the best c-dramas of 2023 for me!
