tiraaa

Lmao the broadcasting station could care less about the rating on MDL hahaha

I MADE IT. I ENDURED. I CAN FINALLY START WATCHING THISSSSSS

Exactly. I don't even bother complaining about people I don't like getting casted in dramas anymore. Either I don't watch or I watch and shut up. Cuz people, no matter how much you complain, they ain't going anywhere. Nothing is changing even if you don't like her. There really is no point in going to every single one of her dramas and saying the same thing every time.

Pretty sure this show seems heavily romance based though lol

Are they airing 3 eps next week? Trying to see if I should start watching this this week.... Don't want to wait too long for the ending lol

It started off great with a really interesting premise, but what the comments here said are correct. It really starts going downhill mid-way when Dan-Oh starts saying "HARU! HARU!" wayyyy too much. Kim Hye Yoon's aegyo was quite cute and funny in the beginning, but then when you see it too much, it can get a bit annoying. I also didn't care much about the Dan-Oh-Haru pairing enough, so when they started focusing on the romance, I was really losing interest. Basically I was counting down the eps to when I can finally get this show over with. The show ended up being more about "HARU-YA" and not wanting to die? And that basically you can't change anything the writer wants to happen. Really didn't need to spend more than half the drama talking about that. I think I was actually more interested in Joo-da and Nam-Joo lmao... Anyhow, it was pleasant overall, but undoubtedly got a bit boring half-way. I really feel the drama lost its direction and basically half the drama wasn't really getting anywhere. If I cared more about the main couple, then I could've ignored the plot holes, but since I didn't... it wasn't interesting enough for me.

Really, even after the leads got back together, it wasn't the same anymore. It was sweet for a short while after that, then Li Yubing gets all discouraged and then some mini argument / conflict has to happen again. And somehow this writer decided to make their moments less sweet after the reconciliation. Like ??? to leave a good feeling / impact on the audience, you should really compensate the horrible conflicts you wrote in the drama??
Most touching moment for me in this drama is probably when Yu Yan stood back up and won the championship at the end. Really reminded me why I love watching figure skating! The way he moved on the ice so freely, with his narration... and the story figure skaters tell with their body *____*
The ending was for the two leads though, were just soooo underwhelming.... I felt myself really not caring much anymore. Sure, I'm happy for everyone and all, but just didn't leave a heavy impact on me. I know people got so pissed off at Tang Xue when she neglected Li Yubing's feelings, but for me, I couldn't find myself pissed or sad or whatever about their break up at all, because this is clearly the writer's problem. None of it made any sense for their characters' personalities whatsoever, and just seemed SO FORCED. That plot OBVIOUSLY existed just to create separation and conflict.

I do love motivating dramas like this, and it is touching watching athletes reach their goals and help the country gain achievement (especially when they are underdogs in winter sports). The couple was also quite sweet and the friendships the leads had were all awesome. They were quite a lot of touching moments that made me cry. HOWEVER, as usual, every effing modern day Chinese drama has to follow the same stupid formula where the leads have to break up, and there's some stupid misunderstanding / "secret" they have to keep. This show definitely went downhill after that. So it really drags down the overall quality of this drama.

As usual, Chinese screenwriters just know how to ruin a perfectly fine plot by adding the element of "breakup" or "misunderstanding". The breakup in this story is just sooo dumb I can't even -_- Not watching until this thing ends now. WHEN WHEN WHEN will they realize that not every drama needs to have the same effing formula?????? IT DOESN'T MAKE THE SHOW BETTER!!

LOOL when I saw the clip of him force kissing her, I was also like 'wtf is this supposed to be a Thai lakorn?'

I think so too, and I hope so too. hahaha

This drama was just super disappointing, definitely does not get a passing mark for me. ALL the cases were HORRIBLE. ALLL SOOO predictable if you bothered to just use brain effortlessly watching this. No suspense WHATSOEVER. Side stories were all MEH, romances were all MEH. (omg like wtf was with Roxanne and Raymond's "relationship"? LIKE????? SO unnecessary to make them end up together if u didn't have time to re-film their romance development scenes!!!!) The only one that's a pass is Stan and Dr. Man's relationship. I liked Queen and King Sir's relationship too, but still very undeveloped. All the storylines outside of the police / forensic work were all so choppy and just felt SO disintegrated. The past three were not like that!! I feel like everytime they talked about their personal lives, it was like jumping to another show....
This was more like a documentary of how the police and forensics team work together. That was it. I'd really have to label this a BAD drama. The only good thing I can think about is their effort in trying to bringing out a meaningful message in their cases.

Oh god, I totally agree. I finished this drama when most people here hadn't yet, so I didn't bother ranting too much about him. But my main issue with him is him being hostile towards Zhang Min and his father and suddenly swearing "revenge" on poor little Zhang Chi for "taking his life" from him. Like ?????? Really Tao Lun? For a smart guy like u, is that really the conclusion you came up with? It was a poor little kid's fault for starting it all? It just makes no sense to me for him to feel this way, especially when he still grew up quite well with a loving adoptive family. I'd understand if he was adopted by some abusive family, and he felt like he was robbed of a life that could've brought him a better life or something like that.
And yes, at first I really thought he was a mature SML, as he himself was clear-minded enough to tell Wen Na how loving someone doesn't mean you have to possess them, and that's enough to see your loved ones happy. But then that all goes down the hill and he starts getting tempted by Wen Na's constant attempt of a "collusion" -.- That's when I started getting annoyed by him.

Hahaha actually I'm the opposite... At least if all the eps are out I can just keep skipping scenes and get to the part when they get back together again really quickly OR I can find out which ep they're getting back together so at least I have motivation to keep watching to get to that ep. It's more of a torture waiting for eps to come out during the parts where misunderstandings happen and they take forever to get together/ get back together again.

Yeah, that's right. Hahaha so obvious.
ML is actually Chairman Zhang's illegitimate son (which makes him Tao Lun's half-brother).

No, he is not Xiao Cong Cong, nor is he Grandpa Wu's grandson. They just had him pretend to be their son, Xiao Cong Cong because Xiao Cong Cong went missing when he was young. Don't know if u want further spoilers so I'll just leave it at that haha

Yeah, I saw the "Final Week" preview they broadcasted after today's episode... Can't believe they're stuffing all that stuff into 5 eps... And I have no idea how the heck Raymond and Roxanne is supposed to get together in the last 5 eps as there has barely been any sign of romantic feelings between them -___-
I'm also just watching this for Selena.... In fact, I'm kind of SAD that this is the last TVB drama for Selena because it was such an underwhelming drama. I had high hopes that she'd end her TVB contract with a good big production drama because she so deserves to finally be a leading actress in a big production.... but this one was just a disappointment T_T
Just can't believe how BAD the cases are this time....
And they've just announced there's going to be a next installment too... IDK how excited I am for that seeing how bad this one was ._.

Actually, it seems like this drama only has 30 episodes??

I really can't help but say...this drama is just SO. BORING. It is SO BAD compared to the last three installments! The cases are just so bad and predictable.... No suspense whatsoever. It's really more like a documentary that shows you how the police and forensics team work together. Then they occasionally add in their personal lives as side stories. But there is just no flow to it all.... Sooo disappointed.... I can't believe this is 40 episodes -_-

Well, it's not really an open ending for them. For sure, they are going to be together. It's more like an UNSATISFYING ending because you don't get to see it happen. The development of that couple is horrible because they don't give them much screen time (probably also cut a lot of scenes when editing).
