A criminal defense lawyer—whose biological father is a kidnapper and stepfather a police detective—crosses paths with a senior judge who lost his wife and child to an act of revenge years ago, and a charismatic, enigmatic legal elite who exploits human nature while navigating the grey areas of the law. These three lonely strangers engage in a high-stakes battle of wits amidst a complex criminal defense case; yet, as they clash, they find a growing mutual understanding—becoming rivals who are nonetheless like family. In a game where the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole lurks behind, they are simultaneously hunter and prey. Who will ultimately emerge as the oriole? And who is the cicada—lying dormant for twelve years, waiting to sing for freedom and claim a resounding summer? (Source: Chinese = iQIYI || Translation = MyDramaList) Edit Translation

A one of a kind thriller drama
I recommend this drama for the people who love thriller and crime chinese dramas, because this drama did not disappoint at all !!this drama seem like any other thriller and crime drama at first, but the more you watch, the more you get intrigued in the unending cycle of legal and moral dilemma that the characters should have endure for the sake of something that it is already theirs but due to harsh compelling circumstance they can never get it in any other way...
i loved the ethical and moral dilemma, that dilemma that make you ask yourself if it is worth it to save someone or not, and make you ask yourself over and over about the meaning of justice, and how sometimes saving or helping another person can make you pay the price in a way you never imagined, this drama was a real masterpiece, and all the actors did absolutely great here played their roles geniusly..
