I'm dropping this. Ep 1 & 2 were a good start, and even though there were some flaws (stiff acting, bad music, mediocre cinematography, strange editing), the plot had potential. I really appreciate how realistic the forensic stuff is shown. I also think the author had a plan, and this is not one of those silly BL series where you know the writer just sits there, does zero research, and writes whatever comes to their mind. Now I'm at Ep 6, and unfortunately they didn't fix the flaws and the little enjoyment I got from watching this series is now completely gone. There is nothing I look forward to. I don't care who killed Jane. The actors have no charm and look lifeless most of the time. Max&Tul could still save this series with their charisma, but the characters Tan&Bun are also extremely boring. I don't know why the writer decided to make their love story so uninteresting with that kind of premise. This could be passionate, intense, exciting with all the mistrust on both sides - it's not. I expected mind games, and I got a soap opera. They are playing house like a married couple and telling each other emotional stories about their life. When they are standing somewhere in the big house and talking to each other I feel like watching The Bold And The Beautiful. It's not engaging. It's a waste of time for me. I'm a big Max&Tul fan, I watched Bad Romance 3 times, I watched TWM, also the next chapter. I watched interviews, TV shows (the one where they travelled to Japan). Even though it hurts to say this, but those two aren't talented and versatile actors. I always knew it. Still I hoped for them to grow and show us something new. This is not a good performance. It could be worse, sure, and I see they tried. But the result is not great. The whole series is mediocre on every possible level. It lacks artistry, good performance, good film making. I honestly refuse to believe the people who worked on this had fun and were passionate about what they were doing.
