Great Story, Misleading English Title
The title of the show, along with the synopsis on Netflix, is highly misleading. As the other reviewers pointed out, this is primarily a crime/mystery/thriller, and it is a good one. I enjoyed the growth required by both leads. While Ji Bai is good at what he does, he's very stoic and singularly focused-Xu Xu's entrance into his world forces him to expand beyond his Black and White way of viewing the world. Xu Xu was a great character but also had to grow-that said, she probably should have spent most of these missions in an armored car watching via CCTV. Even still, I enjoyed the storyline, and how the cases eventually overlapped. There was some romance, but it didn't feel forced or cheesy. All in all it was a great series, and seemed to end with the hint of a season 2. I do hope they get one as it left some questions unanswered.
