This is the first TW-Drama I've watched, and judging from the reviews I had read about this drama I was excited to watch this.. And while I admit this was a good drama to start with when you're first getting into TW-Dramas, I had a very hard time finishing this. Not because it wasn't good, but because it didn't really interest me as much as I had hoped it would. The synopsis, I felt, was very misleading. Since it was about more than just killers drinking milkshakes and the president's connections with a local triad. I think what I was most interested in was how their friendship would evolve since they were indeed "as different as night and day." Romance was very minimal, but honestly it wasn't something that was bothersome to me. Focusing on the evolving relationships between all the characters was probably the most important element in the drama. The action was good as well, nothing too intense, but enough to excite you over how it would all play out. The acting was good as well. Vic Zhou and Mark Chao portrayed their roles very well without going over-the-top. And I actually liked the music played in this drama. Oddly enough I found myself singing along to the opening and closing themes... Very fitting for the drama. Overall I enjoyed this drama, but I will most likely not be rewatching this again. But I must admit, it's a great drama about friendship and action-packed crime, with an ending that leaves you thinking.
