I really enjoyed this drama so much. It really worth to watch.

Hi

This is my first Chinese drama that I am watching and I must say Wow! This drama will keep you on edge and you wont feel like taking break. The Lead Protagonist Wallace Huo acting is excellent! He looks so handsome that I couldn't take my eyes off him. He acts brilliantly. I have become a huge fan of his and will watch more of his work. He excels as Criminal Psychologist with high IQ and his romantic/emotional scenes with the leading lady look so convincing.

There are lots of twists and turns in the movie. Lot of mystery to keep you glued to your seat. Didn't find any loopholes in subplots and the cast seemed perfect. Leading lady Sichun Ma is just about OK. The rest of the cast did an excellent job. I wish the foreign actors used were still better. Nevertheless they acted convincingly.

I am just waiting to watch last two episodes(23 and 24). Hope they are available soon. The drama will end along with year end.

Watch this drama for Wallace Huo. He is just perfect!!

This show had a good start, I don't normally watch Chinese drama/crime shows so got interested. This show borrows heavily from the show Elementary and Sherlock. I was intrigued at the first 10 episode as it had that Elementary feel. However that feeling was short lived as the plot seem to trip on itself, story becomes bland, characters doesn't really develop and action sequences cliched.

My other complaint is how cheesy the dialogue becomes--especially the English. It was actually dreadful. If you need a good psychological thriller, this is not a good one to go to.

As well the antagonist tries (but fails) to be like the Hannibal Lecter, except without the creepiness and more just a clownish appearance.

I don't get all the high ratings, seems like they never really seen a good psychological thriller show.

This drama was very weird.

In the beginning it is mind-blowing. The romance is cute and hilarious, the crime stories are logic, and dialogues are witty. You are waiting that the scriptwriter (the one of the brilliant Nirvana in Fire) is going to explain all the mysteries and combine every plot-line (crimes, love, mental twists of the hero) in a very clever and dramatic way.

But THEN from ep. 15 or 16 everything changes.

The show now looks like a cheap action movie, full of clichés and predictable. The characters lose their individualities, the crazy hero becomes a usual person, the girl disintegrates into a stupid damsel in distress. The pace is totally off. Now it is just a clumsy story about the gang of maniacs haunting the hero. Some mysteries of the first half are merely forgotten.

Of course, Wallace is gorgeous actor, I like his big black eyes, he steals the show but the best actor couldn't rescue this stuff.

Many TV dramas have problems with the plot in the final part but here this problem is particular.

Looks like somebody (TV producers? Chinese censorship?) intervened the shooting and quickly converted the show into a low-grade action movie. Maybe they ran out of money? Some traces of the original plot (more dramatic or even tragic and less soapy one), some Chekhov's guns remained in the first half but they don't shoot.

9 for the beginning, 3 for the ending, 6 as the average.

This is one of the best crime drama / series I've seen and I like to watch something like that. I love crime. Well worth watching the drama. Actors are a great fit perfectly into their roles. It's also really exciting, I love it.
