The feel-good part –

White war is one of the best crime dramas and interestingly the plot is not predictable. The friendship between the three friends was so good. Viewers like how they showed the value of friendship. The plot was really interesting it is not cheesy and unrealistic. Carman’s character reminds us to be compassionate people.

The disappointing factor –

In the beginning, it was sure that Turbo is an undercover agent and he hang out with the police and no one noted them was a bit unbelievable.

All the characters are 3 dimensional and intriguing. Bosco Wong did a fantastic job playing Turbo’s complicated character. Gallen Lo proved that he is an amazing actor although he played a villain his emotional scenes were outstanding.

Overall review –

Overall, this show didn’t take away the gratification and the plot didn’t surge at the end. This is an emotional crime thriller. It didn’t feel like it was yanked on a lot either. It is a crime-action drama produced by Lam Kwok Wah.
