I teared up and have a lot of mixed emotions. I actually liked this and while not too keen on YaYa's role in this, overall it was good. I'm glad Beam got a node at the end. Just too young and gone too soon.
I'm so out of the loop that I didn't realize that it was Mo Wan who had killed the lawyer ! I thought it was X.…
That makes sense. What gave her away to me was the fact she kept how she grew up and made it through a secret even after her parents' case was solved. But the the lawyer getting killed is what still not clear to me.
Overall I like it. The settings, acting and overarching story were well done. I think they ended on a a strong note, I was really hooked and kept second guessing myself.
So one 2 things I'm stuck on why Qi Ming killing the lawyer was sus to Situ? Also my understanding is that X didn't know Mo Wan was also part of the group, so he wouldn't be doing her a favor. The three people that had to die were the actor, the drunkard, and X. I understand the actor said that the way things work is if you don't kill your target, someone else will die. Mo Wan foiled X attempt to kill Situ, but he wouldn't have had time to hire a killer to kill the lawyer since he died (he did the hiring before hand). Anyone who understood why the lawyer was killed and why Situ figured it was Mo Wan (other than the cellar thing), please enlighten me.
Si Tu Yan looks like a tired detective, unlike Hu Yi Tian's character Lu Yao in MRIAD. Probably by the last case…
I agree with the "tired detective". He's a little too serious. Even if this is an AC stories I think they should've lessened this uptight-never-had-a-vacation look. I know he's not portrait as Poirot per-say but these are still his cases and he wasn't rigid at all.
To me the finale felt like a movie...I absolutely loved his story...so much emotions I kept seeing parallels to my life. This drama is a life drama. It's things we experience as humans everyday. Highly recommend, it will tug at your heart strings.
