Seems low key but a must watch

The show actually looked quite understated, however its a gem!
both Chu Chu and Prince Xiao were great. they have good chemistry and are quite compatible with each other. their sidekicks, Jing Yi and Leng Yue are pretty great too. What I like about this show is that there are no love triangles (not much) and their relationship focuses on the leads themselves.

The plots are interesting and the twist and turns made me turn in throughout the 36 episodes without the need to fast forward any of it. There were no plot fillers and 拖拖拉拉 scenes in the drama.

*spoiler ahead*
The actors played out the scenes very well and the villain of the show was a surprised to me. The villain seems like such a nice person.
Everything ended off nicely, however it is seems slightly rushed to me. if only they could show more of how the leads will live their rest of their lives etc.

I love mysteries, detectives and of course romance in them and would definitely hope to find more of such genres.

A Surprising Gem from a Dark Horse Low Budget Drama

Hats off to the scriptwriters! This is such a gem. Despite the lack of budget they manage to make it one of the best this year so far with the superb script which was also executed well by the director, production team and actors. Every character was written carefully, especially Prince An. Every character is understandable and likeable (maybe other than the FL brother which I think is there for dramatic purpose and to balance the overly intelligent leagues of characters haha)

The unknown/newbie casts may not be the most powerhouse in term of acting, but they are fresh in the eyes and are easily likeable. The FL has enough presence despite sometimes she does look a bit underwhelmed in her acting. The romance is sweet enough and ML/FL has nice chemistry, and nicely written so as not to overwhelm the main plot in hand.

Overall, a brilliant drama. Thumbs up!

A must watch

A refreshing drama which proves that talent needs no advertisement. This drama is actually a gem. I think it was just shy from the mark of being a masterpiece. Everything was unique in this drama. A different plot, a different kind of positive feeling even though it was a suspense thriller, no melodrama and most of all, almost each character portrayed a strong personality and a strong mindset. You can see everyone's mind running to find answers or the reason behind each other's action from the information provided to them. Be it Prince An, Chu Chu, Jing yi, Leng Yue, Xue Ru cheng, Prince An's father and mother, or even Eunuch Qin. It shows how the story gives a justifying presence to each character, even if they appear for a small amount time.

Plot: The plot was different. It was a suspense thriller and all the different episodes were beautifully interconnected. No dragging. Each episode was worth watching and added to the entire story. Each case or each death was excellently described. Of course, it was expected from a drama focusing on the work of a coroner. But still great amount of research was done to show the work of the coroner during the imperial time because the process had to be conducted without any modern medical tools or technology. The show didn't put much focus on romance but little light and sweet moments were present to show character development.

Cinematography: The show had authentic locations. Rarely any extra effects were used. No extra lighting. Everything was kept simple and genuine.

Acting: It was good. There hardly were any emotional scenes, hence not much variations can be seen in case of facial expressions. But I enjoyed Eunuch Qin's performance the most, especially his fake guilty, loyal expressions before the king.

Rewatch value: It was a one time kind of thing. That's the case with most suspense thrillers. Once everything is disclosed, the thrill is lost. If you want, I would recommend to watch again after sometime when you might have forgotten all about it

Mystery with a good mix of comedy and romance

I was pleasantly surprised by this drama. Its doesn't have the big names and big budget but it was a very good watch. The cast did a wonderfully job. Its not overly dramatic ( no jealous females, very out there plot twists and boring fillers) like some of the more popular dramas, just a solid plot. The ML and FL are both smart. They didn't have alot of chemistry but I was too busy following the plot for it to leave a negative impression. Even the villains are very smart so it really makes for an interesting story. I didnt have to skip any scenes or episodes. If you love crime and mystery genre this is definitely for you.

Investigation of crime based on autopsy

In the whole drama crime had been investigated by autopsy so who like detective based story might like this one but who wants more love story so I think they might not like this drama . About acting everyone did great job even sporting actors too.
I like detective based story because I like the way the investigate and connect small small evidence and how they reach to the criminal but I also like love story so if this drama equally balanced both the part so it would be a great story .
That's why I didn't like the drama much .
It is not a bad drama .it is just a personal view.

Good plot, great characters

Good :
Characters :
All four main characters + ML's brother you start rooting for them early on and thats the important thing. And they are so normal people. Not pigheaded with tons of misunderstand. they actually sit and talk and actually work. Specially in the name of so called "strong female character" sometimes FL is made a caricature by showing her arrogant , so confident even when mistake is done that they dont acknowledge. I so love the fact that here FL knows her thing and does not hesitate to voice her opinion and do her work and she is also willing to listen to ML bcs he has more experience and has a wider perspective. its periodic drama so women would still have limited access to anything and everything so i didnt find FL acknowledging and appreciating ML as some fan girling. (as some people commented in Viki and here).
Equally good supporting characters makes it fun to watch. Second ML is so fun. Little things he does is so funny , not over the top. Even other smaller supporting characters like ML's general or Eununch's general are fun to watch.
Best part of the drama still is that they sit and "talk" it out which i find many dramas missing. Be it leads or even other characters.

Acting :
Almost all actors have done great job although sometimes i found FL just standing there with no expression. She could have done better there with a little more expressions but still does not impact the experience. She is good enough for her role. Highlights are the Head Eununch and his assistant. They did such a great job to make sure even plotting villianous scenes of theirs is fun to watch.

Plot :
Plot is not very serious that you have to be at the edge all the time but at the same time not so loose that you lose interest in it .
Overall interesting plot but you also enjoy the journey of the characters

Bad :
Attire:
Whats with the attire of the FL !! Initially she wore sort of cottonish attire which made sense from where she came but then she changes to a more expensive attire. Well we can assume she bought it from capital but then when she is back in village she is wearing some silikish fancy coats which does not go well with what her status is or the village nor does it go well with the well to do family.

Puzzle pieces assembled right in a detective show

Many have talked about how underrated this detective show is, and it's rightfully so. It has been awhile since one could find such compact detective story plot in recent years. So if you are a fan of this genre, you should definitely check out The Imperial Coroner.

At the heart of it, the setup of this show is straightforward. As the title of the show suggest, our main character is a coroner - an aspiring female coroner who heads to the capital to get certified as an imperial coroner. Not many people think much about the coroner profession; and it is definitely not a profession, most if not all, females would aspire to be in ancient times. Which is where the first interesting element for The Imperial Coroner comes in - and shines.

Armed with a dream, solid skill, and earnest determination, Chu Chu manages to impress Prince An, Xiao Jinyu, who heads the Three Judicial Office during the coroner exam, which thus begin her coroner journey. Together, they work together to uncover mysteries involving murders, counterfeits, their own background and court power struggles. In a story about aspiring female coroner in ancient times, it's easy to typecast Chu Chu as Mary Sue; so I am glad the production team didn't go down this route. Coming from a backwater village, Chu Chu may be naïve, but she is not dumb. She looks up to Jinyu and greatly admires him as she grows to love him, but pulls her own weight to the mysteries with her competence and capability. Her relationship build up with Jinyu is believable and sweet to watch in the midst of crime-solving and compact plot-driven story.

Another two key elements which earns The Imperial Coroner the underrated drama of 2021 by critics and audience alike are the mystery plot and the team's dynamics. First, each arc is linked to the other - like solving a puzzle. While each piece tells a story on its own, assembling the pieces and connecting them one by one leads to the complete picture. There's nothing better than solid interconnected mysteries to drive the story forward in a detective genre show.

Next, the team's dynamics. This is an important element in any show, more so in detective stories. After all, it is the narrative of the characters that engages the audience to follow through the plots through each crime scene until the picture is assembled. Keyword here: engage. The production team really does this part justice. One of the fan favorites are the reenactment of crimes by Chu Chu and Jinyu. It's a refreshing way to visualize how the murders are done without losing us or dumbing the villain...well, except for one, but it's okay, The Imperial Coroner still does a great job overall.

I also like Jing Yi, Leng Yue and Jin Li who are the core supporting characters of this team. While the main brains of the mystery-solving is Jinyu's intellect and Chu Chu's coroner's capability, they do pull their own weight and bring something to the table - whether it is brawns or network or witty lines.

I believe this is a show that will gain its waves of delightful appreciation from time to time as new audience uncovers this diamond in the rough. Look forward to see more works from the screenwriters (Imperial Coroner is their first work!) and the budding cast.

No nonsense

I love this drama as how I love Untamed because there was no nonsense (I did not skip any scenes). The pacing is good. Not too fast or slow. What I like most in this drama is the plot. No love triangles ( I thought Leng Yue will be a third wheel or something but thank God she is actually such a wonderful character), and most importantly logical. No movie magic. Regarding the romance, not much intimate, cheesy scenes which makes it not recommended for people who are after romance stories.
I dont care about the voice though, Im after the story. Hhah
Worth watching.
Masterpiece

An unexpected little gem

The Imperial Coroner is a drama that I stumbled across by chance. I hadn't seen it advertised anywhere and so was pleasantly surprised.
It is a historical crime/romance drama where the two themes are well balanced. The pacing is good, and the scripting is fine. Acting-wise I think all involved are doing a solid job. The ML and FL are nicely portrayed but I root for the second LC. Their story also brings some comic relief into the drama. Only the villain is a bit over the top. Though there are no big names to this drama, it is clearly worthwhile considering it.

Big pleasant surprise that is Imperial Coroner

Came across Imperial Coroner while searching for something meaty to watch, and boy I wasn't disappointed! The production cost is low, the leads are relatively unknown, well at least I haven't seen them in any other series, but what a great period detective drama it is! The plots are tight, and the storyline is great! And if its a book its a page turner, and I can't help myself but binge on! Can't wait for them to translate all the episodes!!! So unexpectedly good! I shall add more comments once I finished the series. I am so glad I came across it amongst some disappointing bigger series. What I like most about this series, there is no weepy girls or stupid girls, everyone is clever and useful! I LIKE IT!

A little gem of fresh air

Am loving the interaction between ML;& FL. She's intelligent but naive and he's intelligent but street smart too. I like how issues are resolved early & misunderstandings don't linger. He is protective but not overbearing. Am enjoying the subtle romance that is blossoming although waiting every week is doing nothing for my patience. I want to see all episodes now!! ? I do hope it gets better & better... Love the actors. He actually looks like a Prince, a righteous one. My leading lady is steadfast & meticulous. Both are actors are beautiful, couldvwatch them in any show. Did I say how much am enjoying this drama? ?? A great story to cosy up to when the weather is bad. Its refreshing and uust that good, like a much needed hot drink on a snow day. #happydays

Different

So far, I’m enjoying this drama. I like that the female lead is a specialist - not too fond of her character, but that may be a personal choice. I really like assertive FL and she is not.
The other male characters are fun- especially the vice minister. The actor just does that role so much justice. I really wish he was the main lead. His facial expressions and delivery are superb.
I wouldn’t say that I’m surprised at certain revelations- I think there has only been c-dramas that had me with my mouth open… most are predictable.
