Is this series starting to test anyone else's patience?
ep 10 and 11 are boring (that horse demon case), but the rest episode from ep 1 until ep 14, i like it, the lack of romance story is okay for me , because i dont like drama with too much romance. so far so good for me, as i dont have any other drama to watch.
from douban:  During the Jiajing period, a horrific bone-crushing case shocked the world. A frustrated county magistrate led ten border guards to investigate. Unexpectedly, the case was complicated and confusing. Some small people who had their own agendas dig deeper and deeper, and had no choice but to be involved in the center of the storm. Faced with the numerous crises that followed, they went through hardships, died or were demoted, but did not change their ambitions. They fought tooth and nail against evil for the sake of justice.
none of his novel use this title, so perhaps Mao NI write it originally for drama only
i think i havent seen him in a few last episodes, what happened to him? do i miss something?
