All the reviews I've read have increased my expectations for the drama.
Sadly, it looks like it won't be on Viki. And with WeTV inaccessible in our country (I can browse the website with VPN, but I can't buy subscription because our govt banned a lot of Chinese websites, including the options to make payments to these websites), I guess I can only turn into a pirate for this drama. 😵
The actor who plays Qi Yan is good. Like, I could tell the difference between Qi Yan and Young master Wen, not…
fr, the actor is great.
He was in My Dear Guardian. He's in the military in that drama, and later goes undercover as a criminal. The difference in his acting as a stoic military guy vs a criminal (undercover). Even the voice modulation changes between characters. When he first appears as a criminal, I didn't recognize him for a whole episode. I was wondering who this guy was, and why is he being introduced now. Then I came to realization. That's how good he was in that drama.
The tentative release date is 17th April. The release date is expected to be announced tomorrow if everything goes according to plan. https://x.com/i/status/2043249798850216163
They cut a few kiss scenes... Car explosion scene and the underwater one. These are the one that I know of.P.S.…
I'm guessing they cut them because of censorship. Especially with police dramas, they send the drama for review to the police departments, and they probably suggested to cut the kiss scenes around any police activities.
Zhao Xun (the actor playing Qi Yan) is a phenomenal actor. I thought the same when I first saw him in My Dear Guardian. This is the second drama I am seeing him in, and now I can officially put a stamp on it. Real phenomenal!
Only one episode per day from tomorrow onwards.

some await the truth; others await the dawn.
beneath the ashes of this small town lies something even deeper than sin: human nature.
