Mystery, Murder & Malcontents

If Agatha Christie had been a mystery solving trio, it would be the three mains of this drama.

Miss Truth follows the two mains story, Ran Yan and Xiao Song, along with the third loveable (in his own way) assassin, Su Fu. Ran Yan is a rebellious body examiner who sticks her nose in all sorts of happenings and is smart and capable. It was highly enjoyable to watch her run around and bargain her way into cases. This is very much a Sherlock-esque drama that is based in the Tang dynasty. There is an overall plot in Miss Truth with little cases peppered all throughout that tie together at the end.

It was a fun journey to get to know the characters and try to figure out the ultimate villains. There are enough twists and turns to make for an easy and riveting watch. The acting was decent, and each character has their own unique qualities. There were equal parts comedy, romance, and thrill to this that kept it from be monotonous. Sang Chen and Bai Yi were probably my favorite characters in this as they made for a lovely comedic pair.

The only thing I could complain about is the romance in this. It was quite lackluster, and there is a love triangle. If you're not into super dramatic and sad love triangles, you might want to steer clear of this. The main relationship came off as more possessive rather than undying love. There was also some heavy SLS in this one, and it made it difficult to enjoy the main couple.

All in all, an enjoyable mystery drama with enough suspense to keep you wanting to watch. I would recommend if you're looking for something with plot and enjoyable relationships, with a peppering of dramatic romance.
