The plot started out good but went downhill from episodes 11 to 19. It is also predictable.
The Lonely Warrior is a crime drama where a detective is sent to prison for a crime he did not commit when a criminal dies during his investigation.
The Synopsis tells the story of an interrogation accident that sent Detective Cheng Bing of the Third Brigade to prison to serve his sentence. His teammates were implicated, dismissed from the police, and demoted. The former elite Third Brigade of the police fell apart. After ten years in prison, Cheng Bing regained his freedom. He lost everything, but Wang Da Yong, the suspect in the case, is still at large...
Wearing a police uniform for a day brings justice for a lifetime. The Third Brigade needed to explain, but unwillingness turned into persistence. The sharp blade was unsheathed again. Cheng Bing and the brothers from the Third Brigade regrouped and embarked on the road to pursue the murderer. During the lonely and long journey, they cooperated with the police to chase the murderer for thousands of miles. In the process, we rediscover the meaning of life.
I am giving it a 7.0 rating for the following reasons:
1. The acting from the entire cast is good.
2. The story was engaging in the first 10 episodes, then went downhill. It is getting draggy and no longer believable when he goes rogue to investigate and go after the real killer himself without his buddies’ help.
3. He developed some new relationships along the way that were not related to the real killer.
4. Added unnecessary fillers.
5. It was frustrating to watch from episode 11-19. I skipped and FF a lot between these episodes with 1.5 and 2.0 speeds.
6. He has a bad relationship with his daughter instead of focusing on mending that relationship. He has another father/daughter relationship with some other girl.
7. It is predictable, and I think it would have been much better if it was part of light-on-series from iQiYi with only 12 episodes.
