I love mystery and period themed series. Having both in a series made me eager to watch this even tho it is old.
What I like:
+More scenes in what it is - solving mystery rather than relationship or love scenes
+Bromance not BL so don’t react. The series highlighted the good relationship between the two lead male.
+Characters are mostly great, no character just to fill time or waste scenes
+Lead Male investigator is a realistic character that believes everything can be explained
+Scenes explaining how and when clearly shown
+ Master Wei character who portrayed his character the best. Of all casts, he did the best acting.
What I don’t like:
- the female Su Yu is an irritating character. It could have been made or written better wherein she did something to help out other than flirt with the lead male
- Lead Male investigator needs to improve in acting. He has gaps in his reaction
- Director could have directed the entire series better
- It’s supposed to be period mystery but tot got mixed with fantasy
- Ending is confusing.
You have to pay attention to not miss any detail that will help understand the story better.
It is great and interesting until towards the end when it got messed up, and confusing. Actually, more like didn’t make sense.
So if you are able to watch an enjoyable crime mystery and don’t mind a confusing ending, this is a good watch. If they do a sequel or another season of this now, in a better version I’m sure it will be popular.
