A Drama so Bad Even Writer Apologized
The main actress to this drama described it as "bittersweet at the beginning and then it becomes sweet like boba tea"
I would like to report, someone took my boba tea and splashed it on my face. Dear goodness. The end.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. This is a drama that is best explained by it's three acts. It starts off as an EXCELLENT detective costume drama. The cases are really interesting and the interplay of the cast is well done. Second act is a mix of pride and prejudice and midsummer night's dreams. It's an interplay of lovers that makes you want to shout at the screen. GOOD. Then act three it's just all these amazing characters RUINED. It's the most uncharacteristic developments of each character that you stop watching with sadness. WHY?
This drama really shines with the ML. His voice is silky velvet and when he yells or uses lower tones. You'll replay it as it just sounds like music. His costumes are the highest quality -- allegedly borrowed -- but still better than the cheap stuff everyone else is wearing. FL has some nice ones too. But his sharp wit and tricks they play with each other is where you'll really stop and stare and recall your own family squabbles. He shines the most as a henpecked son and partner to the female lead and his mother and when he's blissfully smiling between them. It's really adorable.
FL on the other hand also has some golden moments. Of course she makes silly mistakes that put ML in peril, but he falls in love with her anyways. Her intial outfits are simple and unassuming, but you're focused on her dialog and how she articulates herself with the mysteries as the ML takes her through his job as inspector. There is a mutual trust that builds up which is believable upto episode 23.
Intimacy wise. There is your typical fish face kisses. But the charge is there when they are playing house and solving cases. His love for her is apparant in long stares and his icy personality is spot on before act three. I was upset but not surprised that the tone died as the relationship progressed.
If you're in the mood for intellect watch episodes up to 28. Also there are some full extra scenes on the tencent youtube channel that are randomly up there but essential.
I hope for second 2 to redeem Liang Yi and get more of his beautiful voice.
