Drama digest
This is a criminality-based Chinese drama that depicts a police officer involved in a particular case along with his police sub-division.
The Feel-good part
The show’s story is intelligently written. All the actors are good-looking. The suspense is good throughout the series. The actors played their respective characters very well.
The disappointing factor
Somehow the story doesn’t feel complete even after all the attempts it makes. It could’ve been the perfect crime series without the melodrama part. The melodramatic angle makes it seem like any other ordinary series.
