I don' think they like the series much. lol. Definitely feels like a hate watch. Which is fine...but this particular critique is a little off I think. How wouldn't you remember that?

Yeah. I don't know about that. He took down a whole child trafficking ring at what? 14? 16? - And had a whole convo with the girl he saved AFTER she stole from him. Most people would remember that. It would become a core memory.
Eh...I think the only thing they have in common is their focus on cases and the underlying female empowerment…
Eh..Bai Lu plays the same role almost always and has a limited acting range...but it works..mostly. She's a Chinese Jason Statham in that regard. Now, in fairness Ms. Yanxi Palace does the same...but I think she overall has more acting range than Bai Lu.
my patience nearly dropped to 0 bcs of directing, these slow reactions of characters in emergency situations,…
"Yan Fuzhi with her all pink dresses and lousy style .."
See I ABSOLUTELY love Fuzhi's pink, girlish dresses and style. She intentionally gives off a pretty, sweet, young lady appearance while being an absolute mad woman. She's like a pretty ray of sunshine that will shank you. Love it!

Will agree to disagree with a lot of what is said here...but this part "...naively unbending when it comes to law like FL ." She's not naive - she's impulsive and her background "do what it takes to survive or die" informs a lot of her decisions.
She's not like Jadewind FL who - while her past was mysterious and tragic - was raised by the emperors favorite courtesan and almost always had his (the emperor's favor).
In this drama her love interest is the EMPEROR. lol. Of course there are power dynamics.. Yeah the relationship is skewed...in her favor. lol. She doesn't show him the modicum of respect and gratitude she should under the circumstances. And that's part of the reason why he likes her.
I like this drama more if I'm being honest b/c of everything that is going on and how well they blend everything. These writers know how to tell a story (so far) and allow even the side characters to shine. It's also fun, while touching on series issues and is very clear about what kind of story it is and what kind of story it is trying to tell.
I've noticed this drama's plot is starting to look similar to Unveil: Jadewind. Badass investigator FL, another…
Eh...I think the only thing they have in common is their focus on cases and the underlying female empowerment vibe. This one does a better job of not feeling repetitive and incorporating all of the cast and keeping all the various thread relevant throughout. This one also has a more developed love story with two side couples to boot.
So I went back and watched earlier episodes that I skipped and I realize the Emperor does know she's the girl he saved 10 years prior. That makes how she gets out of the mess she's about to get into make sense now.
She stabs the one who enslaved her and killed her sister and gets taken to court for it. She doesn't have proof of his crimes tho. So of course the officials want her head. So something has to give. Either the emperor or Yin Qing would have to come forward right?
So looking at the previews...episode 14-16 is where he (they) find out he's the one who saved her as a kid. She's gonna need a witness, and he seems like the best bet.
I'm afraid I disagree. Strongly.
