Crime bromance, messy violent but great

I NEED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A DISCLAIMER: THIS IS BROMANCE.
This show was quite good IMO, it was quite fast-paced, violent and messy at times, but who cares if the show is good and catchy I will watch it. Yeah to say the least, I was sold when after the first couple eps already. The show really knows how to keep things moving with the pace, and I never felt like the story was dragging too long or that I got overly bored, the whole underworld theme kept me entertained. There is always something happening, whether it’s the action, the investigation, the betrayals, or just the two MLs being around each other, even though there was no romance it was stilll real good.
You can absolutely feel the trust building between them, and their chemistry was easily one of my favourite parts of the drama.

The action and violence also worked really well for the kind of story this is. It never felt like the show was trying to be something overly complicated—it just knew what it wanted to give us and went for it. Crime, undercover work, corruption, betrayal, fights, tension. It had all that I needed at least.

Overall, this was just entertaining. I came for the crime/action and stayed because these two men had me completely invested. Definitely one of those shows where you finish an episode and immediately want to put the next one on. Especially since the episodes are so short and easy to get through. I watched as it aired but lucky for me I got 2 eps at a time and it aired nearly everyday. So if underworld themes, mafia/gang/crime is your thing and bromance is okay or good for you I can def recommend the show.

IF YOU LOVE GANGS, CRIME & BROMANCE — WATCH THIS ? ?

This drama is honestly one of the most incredible dramas I’ve ever watched. 🔥

If you’re into gangs, crime, undercover cops, intense bromance, and deep friendships, then this drama is an absolute MUST-WATCH.

I don’t even care whether the ending is happy or heartbreaking. If a drama can give me goosebumps, keep me emotionally invested, and make me feel every moment, then it has already won me over.

And the cast? Absolutely phenomenal. Every character was portrayed with such depth and professionalism that I completely believed in their stories.

This drama is officially joining my list of the best gang/crime dramas I’ve ever watched. 🔥

My top picks so far:
• The Underworld
• Never Say Never
• Under the Cover

- I Chose This Path Myself -

Concise, compact, violent, brutal, bloody, and yet, full of sweetness, familial love and close brotherhood.

Two men from two different worlds, went through thick and thin, side by side, to the very end. Never once they tried to drag each other down with them.

Shen Yanlin chose to stay with the gang, and avenged his brother's death regardless the outcome.
While Lin Che chose to return as a police because that's what he always wanted to be.

They both had made their choice from the very beginning, and understood the consequences that they had to bear.

'I chose this path myself. I always knew this day would come sooner or later. Keep moving forward. Be the good cop you wanted to be. Live the life you wanted.'

Shen Yanlin's last words for Lin Che, so mature so understanding, how he accepted all the risks, never hated Lin Che, even supported and encouraged him.

This is a very mature and heart-warming bromance story.

Be it BL or Bromance, I would still consider this series to be much better than any other BL series.

Many loopholes for sure, but those imperfect loopholes that made it as a perfect series.

I definitely, highly recommend this series, and it is also worthy for a rewatch as many times as you want.

'Open your arms, embrace all the pain. Let love's warmth turn into a rainbow and light up our sky.'


PS.
The most suffering person is the one who's left behind. I feel so deeply sorry for you Lin Che, really do... 💔💐
