Waited 2 years and it was worth the wait (for me at least hahaha)
Honestly, I have been waiting for 2 years for this show, and all of a sudden it just airs! I was so happy to watch another Allen Ren drama.Plot:
The story plot is a normal undercover police drama you would watch. It is about an undercover police officer who tries to dismantle a drug ring from the inside. The plot was very consistent with Mu Qing slowly dismantling the drug ring by taking out each of the members in the "shi da jing gan". This slowly leads to his identity being exposed, but he isn't ready to give up! (not gonna explain more, but this is where I am now) :)
[SPOILER] We find out that Ou Kexin is not actually the real Ou Kexin, she is actually Mu Qing/Yuan Wen's ex-wife who did not actually die in the explosion, she just underwent face surgery and took on the role of Ou Kexin and is another undercover police in the drug ring in Yun Gang. [SPOILER]
Ending: They left us at a cliffhanger... I am soooo CONFUSED!!!!
Cast:
I really liked the cast, each played their character very well. Allen Ren who played Mu Qing/Yuan Wen was amazing as usual. His eye contact was totally everything, even though his contract states that he isn't doing any kissing scenes, his actions say enough, and it's worth it! Additionally, Allen ren had some really good fight scenes and he was able to express his emotions very well.
Ou Kexin, played by Janine Chang was also good, however, I think they overdubbed her a little too much. I thought her actual voice would've suited the drama much better. But overall, she was great and I loved seeing those two as a pair :)
The side characters either from the 84 team or the members in the drug ring all did a good job playing their roles. I thought that the "84 team" didn't get enough screen time (especially for Rong Yao to tell them who their undercover agents were like we completely didn't get to see that which I believed was important). Overall, the cast did amazing.
Music:
10/10 - music fit the mood throughout the drama
Rewatch Value:
8/10 - for police, action, and undercover-related dramas I believe that rewatching is not worth it because you already know what's going to happen, however, there are certain episodes I would go back and watch just for Allen Ren hahaha!

Favorite 2021 Drama!!!
I gotta say that this is one hell of an AMAZING well-directed drama in 2021. After watching the trailer I was already star strucked. I first got my eyes on this drama because of Wu lei and Dilraba and I am glad I did because once I started this drama I was unable to let it go.The plot is very interesting and it is mainly about revenge and later slowly begins to fall out of the revenge plot and into a more subtle plot that has to do with helping others and reassuring civilians lives and helping the poor. I really enjoyed watching the character developments in Chang get because at first all she cared about was revenge but along her journey, she witnessed so much bloodshed that eventually she decided to forget that and care about the lives of her people.
The cast is a phenomenon, their costumes especially Ashile Sun's outfits on the grasslands is spectacular. I think Wu Lei really rocks the outfits on the grassland it really boosts his manliness and makes him look so mature. I really love the duo of Li Chang Ge and Ashile Sun. Dilraba and Wu Lei really had some great chemistry and bond even with the age difference it was amazing to watch those two when they were in scenes together. I just want to say, Wu Lei's acting in episode 25 was amazing you got to agree with me on that, I even got goosebumps just watching it. I could feel his emotions too, very well done!
I loved the OST in this drama I felt like the music matched the drama very well and the parts with the music was blended in so well that it matched the atmosphere and emotions which made this drama so amazing I believe.
I would definitely recommend this to my friends!

ALL TIME FAVORITE CHINESE DRAMA
I don’t even know where to start!!!!!The story line was amazing! I loved how they are able to incorporate the seriousness of the plot and also add some little funny scenes that wasn’t cheesy at all. The amount of romance scenes was perfect and I for once was more interested in the story line than just the romance. By the end of this story, we were able to see everything come to an end and a new beginning for everyone. After watching how much Chong Shao Shang and Ling BuYi have gone through, I totally understand their choices and understand how bloodshed could not have been forsaken in the end. Their choices were justified and in the end they learned to trust one another and once again reunite and figure out their love for each other.
The acting and the cast was phenomenal!!! First of all, I watched this because of Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si. They are young actors with so much talent and potential it was just amazing! They portrayed their characters so well, especially Wu Lei. His character has gone through so much and it takes a LOT to be able to portray such a dark and vengeful character but also be able to show his soft and loving side to those he love. His portrayal was truly a masterpiece and really shows his potential. Alongside with the main characters, I LOVED the king, he was soooo funny and serious. He was truly a great king and his love for Zi Sheng was shown so well and I loved the fact that he would not let his court side people tell him not to let Zi Sheng and Shao Shang marry. The queen was another loved character of mine, she has such a beautiful soul and is so caring to Shao Shang. She was able to provide some motherly warmth to Shao Shang, which she never got when she was young. I also need to give credit to consort Yue, she was spectacular. She was unlike all those jealous consorts in other dramas. She considered the whole picture and was not greedy. She wasn’t selfish for her daughter instead she was equal and played fair. She was such a strong character and one of my top favorites in this drama. I could continue even more about the cast, they all deserve praise for their amazing performances and hard work they put in to produce such an amazing 2022 film.
The music in this drama was 100/10, it fit the mood and tone perfectly. I loved how it was more instrumental because that really made this drama different compared to all the other historical costume dramas I have seen in the past.
I will definitely be rewatching this and I recommend this to those who love Chinese historical costume dramas. You also must be okay with a lot of action, bloodshed, and back stabbing scenes. This drama Carrie’s both seriousness and lovely romantic scenes. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!

I just want to let everyone know that this is the first meteor garden drama I have seen than all the rest of the other ones.Just from watching from this perspective only I can say that I actually enjoyed this series quite a lot. I was fond of the main actors and actresses. I loved the chemistry between Daoming Si and Sancai. I thought that the plot was really good, however at some points during the drama, it annoyed me so much by how Daoming Si acted the way he was. I felt like his character could've added a more patient and understandable point in the beginning. I also thought that Sancai was too hidden, she couldn't express her feelings, and that really stalled the whole plot for this drama.
I can tell you that the music was good, I liked how they incorporated both english and chinese songs. This was the first drama I watched that did that and I thought it was cool.
Rewatch value: I would recommend it if you don't mind the stress of waiting for the girl to confess her true feelings and also how you can handle such an impatient and non-understandable guy (Daoming Si at first, he evolves into a better man with the help of Sancai.

OMG this was one of my favorite dramas; I rewatched it sooooo many times. First, to point out, I loved their main characters and I found that this drama had a lot of humor in it. I really fell for these characters, but there was a point that I got annoyed about the plot because of jin ming and how she didn't understand her emotions.
The music was amazing and it followed the plot very well
The plot was amazing and how all 63 episodes were not boring at all, except there was a lot of suspense and it took a while to get to the point.
Overall, 10/10 recommend and just to say, Fantastic and Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!
