Reviews
This review may contain spoilers
This is a binge-worthy drama and reveals a little known cultural aspect of current China. The intensity of which they pursue economic crimes against the nation and people within China. This drama was truly educational and enlightening. This special unit that will go to any country and find you and bring you back for prosecution - hard jail time, loss of rights as a citizen, and fines and restitution was amazing. However, as an American, it was culturally offensive when depicting the USA political, legal, and school system ( all white males) and racially offensive (one scene in North Carolina). The Chinese writers truly have a screwed up view of how the American people live, our justice system and our humanity and kindness to others. However, the drama did a better job in Prague (gang activity) and Nairobi, Kenya (hired mercenaries) leaving the viewer with a more positive viewpoint of other international countries. The Story: you will learn -- family and relationships are no insulation when it comes to conviction and prosecution. The story has almost zero romance even though they have the cutest Wang Kai playing a lead role. Unless you are interested in the legal system of another country you may not want to watch all 44 episodes (it was intriguing to me since this was my previous profession). The story flows flawlessly and editing is excellent. Characters were easy to identify and follow in all of their roles (which is important for storytelling).
The Actors: All were excellent and did a perfect job in their roles -- You love them, or hate them, or feel sympathetic to them and that is what drama is suppose to do in my opinion.
The bonus: the drama is centered in Beijiang but ventures out to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Prague and Nairobi to add the intensity and dedication the officers were willing to go to solve crimes --- and I mean the cases could be as long as 10 years but they were not going to give up.
Watch or Not Watch? Not a drama for laughs, smiles, romance or thrills. No shootouts, martial arts or knockdown fights --- It is purely a crime drama sharing with the public the dedication of one of its units - the Economic unit.. You have to decide what type of drama you enjoy.

very slow paced and pretty boring
I honestly didn't really like this drama because it was very very slow paced. Things were pretty boring. I love detective and spy cdramas, but i found this overrated lolI watched this a long time ago, and i honestly don't remember how many episodes ive seen or if i even dropped it, but i didn't really enjoy it. If you like super slow burning detective dramas maybe this is for you.
In this cdrama's defense though, I watched this a long time ago, so i bascially forgot what it was about. Anyway, this cdrama was just okay for me.
Cast was A-List actors and actresses in China, so i expected this to be good. It didn't really reach my expectations. I really tried to watch every episode with enthusiasm but it was kinda boring. Then again, I watched this a long time ago. Maybe I'll rewatch it to see if its good or not.
