    Not a 'bad' show per se, but rather a confusing one

    The show definitely had something special, although I can't exactly put my finger on it. It was also quite confusing and lacking direction, but overall enjoyable. Looking back, plenty of plot threads were not explored, and the plots that were presented were also intertwined which made the show pretty confusing. To rap it all up, the main 'villain' was not believable, his means and actions were not explained, the main characters were not nearly enough build or developed throughout the show, and some of the side character deserved more background. Also, it seems like the show ended without tying up loose ends. Was this worth the watch? Yes and no. There are other shows more deserving of your time.

    Wasted the viewer's time, cast's talent

    Great acting but I am not clear what I was watching. I needed to read reviews to get a better sense of the narrative. Episode 1 was very confusing. I think the director tried to make this an artistic film and ended up losing the audience.

    Really really struggled watching this. The plot had potential, actors were great but the pace was awful, cinematography was terrible. #DirectorFail

    One of the best.

    I don't understand why people rated this serie so badly. It's probably one of the best movies Taiwan ever made. A lot of twists and turns. And an ending that satisfies every one with an exhaust of relief.

    The narrative might be a little confused at first just because most of you are not familiar with Chinese names in English and that makes you difficult to focus on the storyline.

    It's a good one and definitely worth watching.

    Long waited HK noir style is back

    As a big fan of the 90s HK filmes, this was a nice retro style series. It has traditional themes including gangster crime, brotherhood, and lust. The vivid colour and selection of mindblowing sound tracks were excellent to bring back the old good days of HK cinema.

    I was surprised to see that this series was made in Taiwan and wish that it could be only a begining of seeming more like this good piece of work from the mandarin producers. The story could be quite banal or mixed up side down. Maybe it was intended so as its title suggests in Mandarin.

    For the originality of cinematography and characters were good enough to make me nostalgic about Wang Kar Wei. I cannot wait to see any similar works to be released soon.

    Exceptional!

    1. The most important is you need keep your brain running when watching, the story is awesome and great. If you think more, you get more fun and discover more surprise hidden in the detail.

    2. This not for the people who just want to watch without thinking.

    3. It's okay to give a low rating, but it's not fair if you hate it just because you don't don't want to think when watching. This is somehow like most people hate to watch the "Theory of relativity" by Einstein, their dislike is mostly due to they just cannot understand.

    4. Overall, this is not 100% perfect drama, but I really like it and believe this drama can compete with other Hollywood A-class drama.
