Tan Jianci and Shijia Jin in Lie zui tu jian (2022)

Review by grinsekatze-96027

Lie zui tu jian

10/10

Outstanding

I am usually not a fan of crime/thrillers but it doesn't mean I will not like it esp if the plotting is incredible. How do I put it? "Under the Skin" is like a gripping rollercoaster ride through a maze of mystery and drama.

At the heart of this wild adventure is Shen Yi, a character who's as fascinating as he is flawed despite having the abilties and Intelligence.

Shen Yi's superpower? He's got this unstoppable determination that's both admirable and a bit scary.

His will and desire to uncover the truth with the intention to correct the wrong is overwhelming.

When he sets his mind on something, there's no stopping him. He's like a detective ninja, always one step ahead, piecing together puzzles with his super sharp mind and highly analytical. And his charm? It's magnetic, drawing everyone in, including us viewers.

But here's the thing - he's a bit too focused on the chase. His 'solve at all costs' mentality sometimes makes him miss the heartbeats of the people around him. Not to mention the danger to his life.

He can be so into cracking cases that he forgets to crack a smile; become detached or completely disconnect to others nor show a bit of empathy.

This blind spot often causes hiccups in his relationships, painting a picture of a guy torn between seeking truth and connecting emotionally.

Shen Yi's journey is this rollercoaster of self-discovery towards series of emotions, emphathy and nurturing connection to himself and towards the people around him.

As he unravels mysteries, he's also learning to untangle the mess of his own emotions. Watching him evolve and realize the importance of understanding people's feelings is like witnessing a hero's growth in slow motion.

"Under the Skin" isn't just about the thrill of the chase. It's a story about a guy trying to balance his quest for justice with the messy, human stuff - emotions, connections, showing emphathy, nurturing and the real, beating heart of life.

It's simply amazing. It's not that typical crime kind of a story. It has a very interesting twist between crime, mystery and everyday life inside of a police department and with the unique story telling.

The cast is incredible competent and with chemistry and charisma. I am looking forward to the second season I am really excited to get to know more about docent Shen Yi and his background story.
