My one of my top cdrama of all time
To be honest I watched this cdrama because of Tian Xiwei, I was binged watching all her dramas and I happen to watch this BWL, in first EP it already caught my attention and I thought it was really promising. As more episodes progress, it becomes interesting, the way the plot/story unfold- amazing. I dont know with others saying that there are unnecessary scenes but hello that's how the story/plot unfold. Each character has a significant role to help solve the case. The pacing, acting and story is so good, it ended up me upgrading my subscription from standard to premium just to finish EP 21 to 24 in one sitting, I love it, this is one of my fave cdramas. Congratulations #TianXiwei and #Bornwithluck team.Was this review helpful to you?
Top-notch production. Even with cops chatting away in offices, it manages to stay dynamic and quite engaging. The C-dramas are brilliant. It works both as a light-hearted comedy and as a police investigation. It probably didn’t need 24 episodes, given that you can guess very quickly who killed whom.
And naturally, there’s no criticism of Chinese police corruption, as the Chinese police claim they’re beyond reproach in every respect. (ACAB everywhere, all the time)
I don’t know why the music had to keep parodying Georges Bizet’s ‘L’amour est enfant de Bohème’ or Dvořák’s ‘New World Symphony’. I just don’t get it.
After "Pursuit of Jade", it feels strange to see Tian Xi Wei in a supporting role like this. She’s so discreet and flawless.
