I've always been a big fan of crime series and movies/films in the medical field. I've watched quite a lot of films from the US and Korean, but this is the first time ever to watch a Taiwanese one.
Overall, I think the story-telling of this film is very good, easy to understand and fascinating to follow. Regardless of the criminal or medical factors, the film does really well. Also, the actors did a relatively good job in delivering the characters' emotion and situation to viewers, especially the main character Pham Van Ninh.
I got the chance to meet Lien Binh Phat in person in his Fancine in Hanoi and listen to him sharing about the experience and stories in the process of shooting the film. He said that he has a wall of scripts in his hotel room. Each piece of paper is 1 scene, and after every shoot, he would remove it as an achievement. He also explained that doing this helps him stayed in character, since the role Pham Van Ninh has really deep and complicated mentality. I think that is an indication of how dedication the actor has for his character, and for me, it is the quality of an actor should have.
After watching the first 4 episodes, I feel very attracted by the story. The filmmakers know how to enhance the sound and visual effects to make viewers focus on the significant situations.
However, there's only 1 thing that makes me a little uncomfortable - the actors' English. As an English learner, I don't like it very much, but as a viewers, I understand that it's the intention of the director.
In short, I think everyone who has an interest in crime/medic series should watch this film. I guarantee the experience is so good you just want to watch more ^^
