Ongoing review
I will be updating this review periodically so I don't forget what to say.
Review up through episode 13:
- Love the costumes, not a fan of the makeup. The makeup makes people look kind of...gaunt. But, it's crime solving so perhaps that's what they intended?
- Pacing is a bit off. The first case was fine, the second case felt long and kinda went around in circles. So far, the third case is okay.
- The relationship between the two leads is rather stiff. Sure, this is still early and the tag says slight romance. Still, it's stiff and rather awkward. I've seen other dramas with Bai Lu and WXY. They can do romance. I don't know why in this drama (so far) the relationship is like this.
- I like how the cases have to do with the plight of women. To be female in dynastic China was difficult. This drama addresses many facets of the plight of women.
Review at episode 25:
- Cases still focus on the sad plight of women in ancient times.
- We learn more of the leads' backstory.
- The leads emote more. That's a relief.
