Cute level headed couple & friends on a crime solving journey together
This show features a crime-solving cross-dressed heroine on a journey to avenge her clan. Although the cases and mystery aspect wasn't extremely well written, it was enough to move the plot forward and showcase the characters and their relationships. This is one of the only shows where I've seen the leads actually staying together for the entirety of the show. The ML and FL both have a brain which they often put to good use. The group of friends with different strengths helping each other out was very pleasant.Chen Yao is my favourite cross-dresser. Even though she doesn't actually look like a man, she is more convincing with her posture and demeanour than most of the rest. The ML is new and really handled it well for his first time. The chemistry and kisses between the leads are wonderful and totally what you'll like if you want a romance fix.
Overall I'd say this was a very pleasant show, great for when you don't want extremely long-winded complex plots or extreme emotions. A fun show!

Good drama under the radar, recommend to watch
I started watching it because the FL Sebrina Chen.Up till now i have been watching until episode 13, i will recommend it to anyone who are interested in Chinese drama. Definitely one of those good drama under the radar.
One thing I am surprised is that this is the debut drama of the ML. He nailed it for his first drama, the charismatic he deliver in this character is very well. Another potential rising young actor.
Sebrina Chen, she is good too and I have just started following her in her drama My Unicorn Girl, both are her disguising in male character.
The story is moving well, not dragging yet until now and fast tempo in a good way. We will see how it turns out to be in the coming episode.

Unbelievable Female Lead who pretends to be smart
Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion, seeing that many viewers seemed to like this drama. But not for me. After watching this drama for a few episodes, I just could not get into the story. I just cannot believe that everyone cannot see the FL is not a man. She even has bust and wears red lipstick. Okay, perhaps that's the stylist fault. But I just couldn't get over that she is just bitchy, rude and arrogant. How am I supposed to be convinced that she is like Mr. Holmes? I know Sherlock Holmes is also arrogant in his own way, but I don't see him as mean; I see him as rather blunt and impatient.... hahahaha. I digress. Anyway, I dropped this drama because I don't find the story and investigative cases engaging enough to stay and watch.Was this review helpful to you?

HUH?
I read the synopsis and thought that this drama would be good. However, I found this drama fairly "huh" and boring from the start. I tried to continue with it to let it build up and intrigue me but as I continued watching, I simply felt annoyed and frustrated and disappointed.What I didn't like:
- The ML is cute but he didn't have a lot of chemistry with the FL. I know that I'm sort of early into the drama but things did not seem to be the way I would like...
- The FL seems constantly shocked by the ML. I expected a smart detective like her to be more composed and shrewd. It was strange and jarring to watch her being so startled by her interactions with the ML.
- The 2nd ML and 2nd FL - I do not know if I can call them second leads - were insufferable to watch. Their acting wasn't good and the man appeared like a big, bumbling idiot.
As I couldn't continue watching it, I decided to drop it and move on to other dramas which probably appeal more.

Très bon drama mêlant investigation et romance
Un très bon drama mêlant investigation et romance, avec une FL forte et intelligente (ça change :) et un ML beau comme un dieu !!ML (Wahouuuu ......the ML really handsome and lets be honest but his acting in the drama was really good for a newbie).
L'histoire est bien ficelée, finement racontée et les acteurs (novices pour la plupart) sont excellents.
Les 2 romances sont très cute et avec des baisers réalistes (a lot :) :)
j'ai passé un super moment et j’espère revoir très vite tous ces jeunes acteurs à l'écran.
I’m just so surprised this didn’t get as much review as I expected. In one word : WATCH!

Grandes personajes
Esta historia es entretenida desde el principio; pero su fuerte son los personajes, la protagonista Su Ci es una chica inteligente, fuerte y luchadora, y aunque por los traumas vividos en su pasado, logra poder confiar en las personas que la quieren y ser un apoyo para ellos también; el príncipe Qi es una green flag andante, no sé de que otra manera describirlo, es amable, considerado, apoya incondicionalmente a Su Ci, pero jamás la hace menos, al contrario, reconoce y esta orgulloso de su fuerza y juntos logran avanzar en todo lo que se proponen. Los personajes secundarios también son increíbles, el pequeño cocinero Fei Yuan es super tierno y adorable, siempre siendo fiel compañero del príncipe y de todo el grupo; Ru Shuang es otra chica poderosa y una amiga increíble, super talentosa en su labor y muy inteligente; y Xie Bei Ming es un chico tan lindo, adorable y leal, no solo con su amada, si no con todo su grupo de amigos; ambas parejas son hermosas, tienen mucha química y se ven hermosos juntos. Lo mejor de todo es la buena comunicación que hay entre los personajes, porque generalmente los problemas se dan por falta de esta; aunque obviamente hay malentendidos, los personajes buscan solucionarlos o ayudar los otros a hacerlo, en un círculode amistad muy confiable. El final también fue muy bueno, ya que soluciono pronto el conflicto y no por hacerlo de una manera apresurada, si no que ya desde mucho antes, venían uniendo todas las piezas para lograrlo; por lo que a diferencia de otras series se puede disfrutar de más tiempo de "la vida feliz" de los protagonistas y eso es algo que me gusta muchoWas this review helpful to you?
I rapporti interpersonali al centro
Già mi pare di sentirvi: Oh, no, un altro di quei drama dove la ragazza si traveste da uomo per vendicare la famiglia! Ed è proprio così, e la cosa sarà fonte di guai e risate, ma è solo una piccola parte di quello che è questa piccola perla di drama, ingiustamente sottovalutato.Se vi piacciono crimini e misteri, indagini e scoperte, complotti e colpi di scena, non potete esimervi dal dare una possibilità a questa serie. Costumi e ambientazioni sono consoni alla storia, ma gli attori sono magnifici.
La coppia principale, ma anche le spalle, sono veramente belli e, soprattutto molto bravi. Ma questo sarebbe nulla, se non interpretassero personaggi di spessore. E invece, non possiamo fare a meno di amare, per esempio, il principe che cerca di convivere coi problemi causatigli dal suo shock post traumatico, nascondendosi dietro una falsa nomea di innocuo dongiovanni per sopravvivere agli intrighi di corte.
E’ una storia che narra sì anche l’evolversi di rapporti di coppia, ma che verte molto anche su legami fraterni, grandi amicizie e rapporti di fiducia reciproca. Nel frattempo, si svolge una vicenda ricca di suspense e copi di scena. La lunghezza è media, perciò non siamo costretti ad assistere a circonvolute e noiose vicende relative a personaggi poco interessanti che stanno lì solo per allungare il brodo. La storia procede relativamente spedita, tenendoci incollati alla sedia in un crescendo continuo fino al soddisfacente finale.
Una serie da guardare. Davvero.
