No Wonder This Show Won 5 Awards

I wanted to watch this show back in 2018 when it first came out, but, much to my despair, never got to because it wasn't available anywhere with subtitles. A few days ago, I came across it on IQIYI, and lo and behold! There it was, with manual subtitles.

I'll make it quick: The City of Chaos is a must-watch. It's been such a long time since I've been this enraptured by a drama, but this one had it all. A captivating plot line, gorgeous bromance, complex characters, incredible plot twists (you'll know what I mean when you get to the end), beautiful music and lighting. The pacing was really good, too, with comedic bits artfully inserted in-between the more intense parts of the story. And boy, was it intense.

The one tiny downside lay with the romance subplots, but they were so minor they didn't bother me that much in the end.

Tldr; I absolutely recommend this.

TW: Blood, choking, drugs, and PTSD.
