After what felt like 437 full length episodes but was in fact only 31 half hour episodes, I’ve crossed the finish line of this interminable slog through the lands of Mediocrity and Predictability.

I don’t know why I finished this series. It was kind of like ordering too much food and then finishing it all to make it look like it wasn’t too much food, and then you want to lay down and die in the end. The answer is that you should have stopped at the beginning. I should’ve stopped this series 30 episodes ago. You, if you’re reading, should not start.

The one saving grace is the short PSAs at the end of each episode. Those were well done. I’d like to thank the PRC, I learned a lot.

What was not well done: the absurd torture death machine in the last episode (did a script page get swapped?); the irrelevant drama about Ma Ping Chuan’s daughter and her apparent catastrophic failure in school at the age of 5; not wrapping up the plot lines with lawyer Lin’s boyfriend, MPC and the crew in a cohesive way. ALSO AT WHAT POINT DID CHEN MO AND MU TONG HAVE CHEMISTRY? She has more chemistry with his mom.

This failed to overwhelm. In fact, it was quite bad.
