Teenage Forensic Pathologist Adventures
This is a drama not without its faults, but one that I found so enjoyable that I actually watched it a couple times through (I can't think of another drama I have watched through more than once).
Instead of an emotionless FL, or a silly bubbly one, we are treated to a relatable, calm, intelligent, and yes, very beautiful one instead. This is a refreshing change and a pleasant surprise. The FL, does act rather like a teenager, but only in the way she kind of mopes a bit, but never to the point of becoming annoying. She is victimized by her family, and it does have an emotional impact on her, but she doesn't spend too much time in self-pity, which is excellent.
The story itself details how she finds herself working for the city magistrate as a volunteer coroner (not really volunteer, as she doesn't have a lot of say in the matter). Subsequently, she finds herself helped by both the magistrate ML and a mysterious, stoic assassin SML character. Therein lies the love triangle, as both the ML and SML vie for her affections.
I admit to being one of the few that really enjoy love triangles, and this one was no acception. Both male characters had equally mysterious pasts, and as she got to know them better, the FL found her affections shift from one male lead to the other. Personally, this makes sense to me, as I find dramas more interesting when the FL's affections are staked in both male leads. It really bothers me when a FL spurs the SML when he has usually sacrificed everything to be with her. Plus, FLs in C dramas often fall in love too quickly, and don't take the time to really investigate how they feel about their male suitors. I liked how the FL in this drama had time to get to know each male lead over time.
Anyway, there are a handful of mysteries that the FL and ML must solve together, on top of the main storyline which involves the FL's own family, and her trying navigating her feelings about the two male leads in her life.
The mysteries have some cliche elements to them, and some outlandish elements as well, but I liked the fact that ultimately, there was a semi-rational explanation for the crimes that were investigated (well, kind of, sort of). I don't remember skipping through large sections of this drama out of boredom like I usually do, and that is saying a lot!
The SML is a big, ripped, stoic hunk of a man, with absolutely no character, who mainly just towers over the other characters looking very jacked. I am assuming he is more of a model than an actor. However, he kind of just fit into the story, and he wasn't annoying in any way.
I sometimes forget that these C dramas aren't animated. The colours are so rich (though pastel), that in my memory, everyone and everything gets turned into an animated drama. The way everything looks manicured in these C dramas, including the clothes of the characters, makes me view it in my mind like an animated series. I remember the cinematography being very good here. Beautiful colours.
If you are looking for a female character led mystery romance, this is my favourite. I like it even more than, "The Royal Coroner", which was also great (I liked this FL better than that one).
