The Feel-Good Part
The good part of this series is the uniqueness and the freshness this series brings with itself. The story written for this series is smooth and doesn’t have many plot holes. The background score and music is impressive, and it creates another depth and dimension to the overall story and the scene. The casting was excellent and impactful. The spin of a classic hero versus villain in a detective format is not seen a lot unless shown with poor accuracy. The story format of historical events brings more awareness to the audience. This show works wonders balancing both poles of fun and seriousness fairly.
The Disappointing Factor
This drama lacks cliches, and the male lead, both the positive and negative lead is unproblematic. The side characters, like the warriors in the war and the other generals and important men and women, are supportive and different from the other cringe dramas. The various ways both the Chinese Liberation army and the group supporting Mao Ze Dong adopt to fight against this villain involved in illegal practices is applauded. They are determined and focused on their job and are curious to know the truth, which can get boring and mainstream for many people.
In-Depth Analysis
This drama doesn’t have any love triangles, last-minute breakups or misunderstandings. This differentiates this drama from all other ones. The chemistry between the side and the main characters is innocent. The male lead knows the past struggles and pains of the other characters, and it is nice that he cares about him after all. The supporting characters have complimented the main leads, and has improved the overall quality of the series. All the male and female leads are impressive and competent for the characters they are playing.
Star Power
The male leads are very promising with good acting skills.

This special accompanies the main series around the two detectives, all the characters wanting peace and tranquillity and the opposition party wanting war, for which they are fighting, gives their character a new depth and dimension. The situation of politics and greed for money is shown extensively.
