I love this time period setting and episodic format of detective cases so I was really looking forward to the drama. And it lived up to most of my expectations very well. I liked how the cases always started as something supernatural but then they always had a scientific explanation. One thing that was bugging me about the cases and episodes formats was that I was expecting 1 case = 1 episode, but the cases stretched for longer and then they were starting a new end in the middle or at the end of the episode.

The detective Lu Yao and inspector Qiao Chusheng were amazing characters though I have to admit that I found the reporter Bai Youning to be quite irritable at most times. I liked her as a reporter but I didn't like her romance subplot with Lu Yao, as she was often treating him so badly like locking him up in a room (and that happened twice!). But overall, I liked the trio of the main actors well. Out of the supporting characters I came to like Salim a lot!

At first I HATED the rap intro, but later it kind of grew up to me. The closing OST song was really beautiful and I loved the singer's voice, it was so emotional.

It was a very enjoyable drama and I would definitely recommend it.
