Is this the best crime drama this year? I have bad experiences with the earlier ones released this year -none of them are Long Season/Long Night level - though the one with Jiang Qiming was pretty good.
I shed tears watching ep. 16. That kind of perseverance against all odds.... last time I cried was when watching She and Her Girls. Not many dramas can move me like those two.
Some major changes to the novel pissed off book fans, also the novel is too short to be adapted into a 35 episode…
I also think the pacing is good, even with slow non action scenes there is always something to watch. And I am speaking as someone who mostly watch 12-episode drama.
