Confusing at first, but gets better

I won't lie; this drama takes a few episodes to wrap your head around. And if you're not familiar with the way Chinese politics work, it may be even harder. At least for me, it took me a while to figure out everyone's name and connection. But if you like mystery and drama, and aren't a big fan of romance, you'll enjoy this thrilling ride. This drama does tend to occasionally fall into cliches.
