Never Say Goodbye (2021)

Waited 2 years and it was worth the wait (for me at least hahaha)

Honestly, I have been waiting for 2 years for this show, and all of a sudden it just airs! I was so happy to watch another Allen Ren drama.

Plot:
The story plot is a normal undercover police drama you would watch. It is about an undercover police officer who tries to dismantle a drug ring from the inside. The plot was very consistent with Mu Qing slowly dismantling the drug ring by taking out each of the members in the "shi da jing gan". This slowly leads to his identity being exposed, but he isn't ready to give up! (not gonna explain more, but this is where I am now) :)

[SPOILER] We find out that Ou Kexin is not actually the real Ou Kexin, she is actually Mu Qing/Yuan Wen's ex-wife who did not actually die in the explosion, she just underwent face surgery and took on the role of Ou Kexin and is another undercover police in the drug ring in Yun Gang. [SPOILER]

Ending: They left us at a cliffhanger... I am soooo CONFUSED!!!!

Cast:

I really liked the cast, each played their character very well. Allen Ren who played Mu Qing/Yuan Wen was amazing as usual. His eye contact was totally everything, even though his contract states that he isn't doing any kissing scenes, his actions say enough, and it's worth it! Additionally, Allen ren had some really good fight scenes and he was able to express his emotions very well.

Ou Kexin, played by Janine Chang was also good, however, I think they overdubbed her a little too much. I thought her actual voice would've suited the drama much better. But overall, she was great and I loved seeing those two as a pair :)

The side characters either from the 84 team or the members in the drug ring all did a good job playing their roles. I thought that the "84 team" didn't get enough screen time (especially for Rong Yao to tell them who their undercover agents were like we completely didn't get to see that which I believed was important). Overall, the cast did amazing.

Music:
10/10 - music fit the mood throughout the drama

Rewatch Value:
8/10 - for police, action, and undercover-related dramas I believe that rewatching is not worth it because you already know what's going to happen, however, there are certain episodes I would go back and watch just for Allen Ren hahaha!

Nice drama!

It is a nice drama! A very addictive episode ending, makes you to keep watching one after another episode. This is the first Chinese action drama I watched and pretty cool. The acting, scene, actions are quite on point. Definitely recommended to everyone.

Suspense is good for each episodes. Acting of the main leads are superb especially Allen Ren.

Seems like this drama is not so popular but for me, it’s definitely a good one. Most of the time I prefer Chinese modern romance genre. I came from a nice drama of Allen, Ms Crow and Mr Lizard. And I love this too!
