The Disappointing Factor
Even though the show provides a refreshing plot, it does not maintain the amount of enjoyment you gain as it considerably falls off in the later episodes.

Then there are casualties, vendettas, faster heartbeats, blood leaking, and tears starting to pour. Na Na is caught in all of this and has no idea what she can do.
Star Power
Kenny Wong plays Yip Goi Tin, Chrissie Chau plays Na Na/ Cheung Ling and both of them do a wonderful job in carrying the show as the main roles/protagonists of the drama. Elaine Ng as Pak Mui/Mut Lei, Alex Lam as Food Dragon/Hui Zi Lung, Alan Luk as Wi-Fi/Gao Shing and the other supporting roles do perform good and should be appreciated.
Overall Opinion
The drama should only be taken up by those viewers who have the patience for the suspense, action and thrill to kick in might take a few episodes at maximum and then it will definitely feel worth your time.
