Reviews
Case heavy but full of heartwarming mundane moments.
Based on the story of Father of Forensic Medicine: Song Ci, it was an amazing drama that doesn't fool around. Every case intriguing, and dealt with logically all the while showing the multitude facets of human psyche involved in crimes. And I love the show for its portrayal of women: they weren't subjected to some entry-level comparison game (oh look back then society was so backwards/I'm the pioneer on white horse who treated women well), rather it was *normalised* in the drama's universe to have a balanced and realistic depiction where there were both good men and bad men, AND good women and bad women where no one were unreasonably victimised or put on a pedestal.It had some of the most 3D portryals of mutual respect, love and equality in historical dramas I've ever seen. A rare gem.
Give it a try. It's not a fluffy romance, it's a serious investigative drama, it could be tedious to watch in one sitting since it's one case after the other....I watched it in between other dramas. But I assure you that you won't regret it if you give it a try. Don't let the fact it's an old drama hold you back.

Magnificent storytelling
This series’ murder stories’ progression likens to that of the Japanese detective manga and anime show kindaichi youthful detective. But the depicted political dynamics rising from a small town and county interactions up to the central imperial court relationships, are nonetheless very thorough and quite accurate. After all, This show tells of a Song Dynasty judge song ci who rose from a county in hunan up to his promotion to the capital as a 4th rank judge of the supreme court of justice and his inevitable resignation after promoting to 2nd rank as he became despaired of all of the decadent and corrupt officials of the imperial capital and the emperor’s wish for “peace and stability”.Was this review helpful to you?
