I had low expectation before, since its a B level (low budget) drama, made 5 years ago, non romance and republican era genre..

But after watching 8 eps, the plot is surprisingly very very good.... Its very different from usual republican era dramas which have lots of (political) talks.

Here, very little talk!
It has many actions, fast paced, thrilling, everyone is smart, lots of strategies and schemes .... which i have to use 0.75x speed watching it to understand, with lots of rewinds, haha..

All the cast are experienced actors and actresses, so everyone acting is online and realistic...

So if you like smart plot, smart ML FL, smart antagonists, chess and strategy game, spy and espionage theme, give it a try.

Its a breath of fresh air after so many fantasy and romance dramas, we are all need a little brain gym, dont u think so? Hehe

Dont bother with the era, kmt, or whatever the parties, just enjoy the brain burning plot and spy war actions ;)

Deep Lurk is also surprisingly top 1 on tv drama chart in China now, even with 0 promotion and marketing, isnt it a real prove that its worth watching? :)
