Really good drama. A slick presentation and well packaged with sophisticated style, action scenes, pace, music, and storyline. You won't be bored because there is a lot of action and suspense, and a cast of good looking actors. The opening credit is boosted by a great sound track and slick editing, setting you up to be entertained and this drama delivers. The story is basically about two police officers: Chen Zai Tian originally from the 'NDPD' is assigned to the 'SDPD' and partnered with Wu Ying Xiong; they are opposite in personality. Chen is a bit of a flake, flirts, always hitting on hot chicks, and doesn't take much of anything too seriously. The other is serious, somewhat strict but very dedicated to stopping crime and fighting for justice. They are both pulled into a series of criminal events happening around them, which lead to a lot of people being killed as they try to solve these cases. There is a little of everything petty theft, murder, espionage, terrorists, corruption, all the usual spices. The drama relies on fast pace action and surprising revelations to keep you hooked. Great kick ass fighting scenes! The acting was solid for the most part, although I thought Zhou Vic's early portrayal of his character seemed almost like a caricature of Capt. Jack Sparrow, but after a turn of events the character seemed to calm down and Vic's performance was better. I particularly liked the bromance and development of the two main protagonists; as the events took their toll on their lives it changed them fundamentally. The character of Chen Lin, played by Chen Ivy was selfish, self-centered and silly on occasion with a tendency to be whiney so she was annoying. There are some interesting secondary characters who develop during the investigation, and others who leave you thinking 'what the hell?'. Also some odd 360 degree changes in some characters which was nonsensical. The 'love interests' amongst the characters, is not 'romance' but more like 'instant crushes' which change at the drop of a hat. The unnecessary romance story line was all over the place and a hot mess. It did not contribute to the drama, because it was a distraction and quite confusing to watch the so called 'romantic relationships' played out like 'musical chairs. Watch it and you will see what I mean. The plot though good was convoluted; too many different characters and sub plots, were introduced without much explanation. While it made for good suspense it also lead to a lack of coherence in the drama. You also had supposedly smart characters doing things which instinctively they shouldn't. In one episode a heroic officer looks surprised when confronted by the villain as they are escaping. The villain points to the ceiling and says to the heroic police, "What is that? (pointing to the camera in the ceiling, and with a sweep of his hand)…The cameras are everywhere. This is not the backyard of your house!" (Sorry but that was priceless). Thanks to the script, I did not have to yell at the screen out of annoyance for such stupidity because the villain did it for me. These are just minor irritants, and not enough to dismiss watching this. Black and White is a well made, exciting, formula crime drama with good action and suspense, a good cast and lots of pretty people (there are NO ugly young police or agents in this drama); it will keep you interested. A good watch.
