Leo Yang: carrying the show while dodging plot holes and clingy side characters
This drama is surprisingly decent, and I have to lay the credit on Leo Yang’s shoulders. His performance as an undercover agent who was also a mafia boss was impeccable, a compelling duality of good and evil where he balanced fighting for justice with the sharp mind needed for shady business.
However, the same can’t be said for Han Le Yao, and it may not be entirely her fault. I thought her character was poorly developed; she attempted too much with insufficient understanding. Ling Yi only latched on to A Sen hoping to gain information on how her aunt died. Instead, she only became a burden. I’m quite annoyed by Ling Yi’s repeated rescues. I place the blame squarely on her, regardless of her well-meaning interference, which consistently creates difficulties for A Sen. How is an officer supposed to do their job when she puts herself in danger? Instead of helping, Ling Yi has become a liability for A Sen.
The plot, though interesting, has its fair share of loopholes. But if you overlook them, this could be an entertaining watch.
