This show had me crrracking up (laughing out loud) its one of my favorite shows to watch and rewatch. The cast / crew is awesome & I loved the storyline. I hope theres a Miss Truth Season TWO in the near future, with English subtitles of course.

This drama started out very strong, but for some reason, episodes toward the end fizzled. Perhaps, some things got lost in the editing room so scenes were kind of choppy moving from one to the next. There were also plot holes and questions that never got answered. Still, I stuck with it to find out "who did it." And I enjoyed the show's portrayal of a strong, smart and independent female lead as a coroner/forensic specialist, and of course, the cat-and-mouse between baddies and the good guys. Throw in a love triangle and voila! we have a drama. The fight choreographed sequences were okay and served their purposes. However, some parts seemed to be thrown in out of convenience to move the plot along, such as how many times can the female lead get abducted? Boring.

Without giving away spoilers, the ultimate reveal of the mastermind was definitely a surprise (couldn't have guessed in a million years) though. I also really enjoyed the performances of the 3 main leads--the sacrifices both males suffered due to their love for the female lead simply made my heart swoon. I started on team Su Fu but eventually moved to team Xiao Yu. So, if you ignore some plot holes and suppress your inner critic, you'll enjoy this show for the smart solving of murder cases. There were some humor speckled in here and there to lighten up the mood as well. As I said, I really enjoyed this drama, but unfortunately, the last few episodes and ending was a bit anticlimactic for me. BTW, the final scene seemed to hint of a season 2, so I look forward to seeing what happens next.

I have never changed 'teams' so often as I did whilst watching this. First it was team Xiau Song then team Su Fu then back again to Xiau Song and so on. Totally unexpected twist at the end which I didn't see coming then tears for the main characters and a hint that there will be a second season. I hope so!!! I really enjoyed watching it being taken on a rollercoaster ride with the main characters. Great acting from all. PLEASE let there be a second season!!
