One of the most underrated series so far...

Right, I wont write a long-ass essay for the review but, all I can say is it's nice how this is fast-paced and not too much drama about female exes or whatnot. I loved how cleverly they solve each cases and how the female lead was made to portray as a strong one who redeemed her family when they fell from grace. Some twists are unexpectable and they really got me racking my brains for possible answers and further clues. Jeremy Tsui's acting surprised me here, he proved he can show versatility in his facial expressions and it's really refreshing to see. When he smiles, he reminds me of Lee Dong Wook haha

Anyway, the series was arguably good as I found myself doing super few skips on some episodes. If there's one thing I didn't like, was how the writers unnecessarily inserted a negative twist in the last episode which made the happy ending not totally satisfying. Why on earth reveal that Liang Yi's mother voluntarily poisoned the old marquis when its already established that the noble consort did it out of fear that her Northern Liang lineage would be revealed? I find it useless. Qiu Yan and Liang Yi could have gotten a few more screen time to enjoy their happiness at last, but it was jammed into one scene by making them reunite in that same peak. They also left the guessing with the audiences how Liang Yi was able to appear as if Qiu Yan hadn't lied about his mother's death. Hope these writers could stop doing that in series.
