B grade production, barely passable, catchy title song, spirited FL
tldr; OTT acting all around. passable plot, FL is not passive but shown taking lead in romantic scenes. Can get through with 1.5x and help from FF buttons. If you want something cozy with your wife/GF, this one will work because the romance will work for the girls and unintended hilarity will work for the boys.
There's a barely passable excuse of a plot. Undercover policeman infiltrates a shady business group. Tries to turn the bad guy brothers against one another, evil mob boss wife has own scheme & FL's aunt was murdered by her to tie all characters' motivations. It ends well. They tie all loose ends together and managed well in the time/budget they had
As many viewers have pointed out, the FL is written as a spirited girl who knows what she wants and will take steps towards it. Once she takes an interest in the ML she's shown to be doing most of the pursuing and initiates the romantic encounters more than once. Had they made her a damsel in distress along with all the cliché tropes they added here I would have rated it a 1 or 2. It's the only "special thing" this run-of-the-mill B grade web drama has going for it. The acting is so OTT it's hilarious. You end up laughing even in supposedly dramatic/suspenseful scenes too.
The acting from all parties is in the "so bad it's good" category. It's one of those mini 15 min web dramas where if you deduct the two title sequences, the story is +/- 8 mins. At 1.5x-2x speed you can get through.
The title song's catchy/hum worthy and subtitling is hilarious ("deducting like Sherlock Holmes" while the term never comes up in her song! LOL, really!?). The OCR they used for transcribing english titles for chinese film crew was unintentionally hilarious "Pedolicer" for Producer, "Propaganda" instead of "Publicity and Stills" and so on.
Watch if you have nothing else to do.
