The Feel-Good Part

The drama at the start is pretty smooth enough to keep the audience amused and wanting more. The dark secrets and the pasts of the main characters were touching. There were suspenseful scenes and cat and mouse chases between the protagonist and the antagonists. The encounters between Zhang Hai Feng and Zhao Bin Bin were the best part of the drama. It is suspenseful enough to keep the audience on their toes.

The Disappointing Factor

The ending was ambiguous. There were no clear-cut answers. The motive behind the killing and plotting wasn’t that convincing. The fantasy elements weren’t that satisfying. The ending could’ve been better, perhaps a bit longer, to wrap things up properly. It gets a bit confusing towards the end.
