The Criminal Suspense has changed into Love Romance drama!

I have to give 1 star, but not for drama, for my review so it can be posted.

As soon as the Medical Examiner Dr Qin’s the mind reader has been broadcasted, the audience who loved criminal suspense drama were very exited to watch it, but then they became very disappointed after watching 8 episodes. They felt that they’ve been cheated by the producer of the drama, they didn’t get what they expected.
The emotional scenes occupied more spaces than the suspense scenes and most of the scenes are illogical.

Qin Ming, played by Zhang Yao’s setting is a high-IQ forensic doctor, a new graduated student. He is not familiar with the world and does things in a straight-forward manner, which is a very test of acting skills.
As a new forensic doctor graduated student, Qin Ming seems to be on the hook, and he can actually tell when the thief falls down with the naked eye. After the thief fell down to the ground, he directly went up to the operation with a pen and alcohol, ignoring the risk of postoperative infection. Qin Ming, a new forensic doctor graduated student became a magic doctor in seconds. Not only is the story old-fashioned, but this exaggerated theatrical treatment is a bit outdated today.
Qin Ming claimed to be obsessed with cleanliness, he had to wipe his hands with a wet wipe when shaking hands. But, he touched the skin of Lin Tao when he took Lin Tao’s hand off his shoulder during dinner. He didn’t use a wet wipe and didn’t even go washing his hands. When Qing Ming was drowned, An Ran gave Qing Min emergency first-aid mouth-to-mouth. After Qing Min woke up, he knew his mouth touching An Ran’s mouth, the two warmed up at night because of the mouth-to-mouth respiration. An Ran dug a spoon of ice cream for Qing Min with the spoon she had eaten ice cream, Qing Min who was obsessed with cleanliness eating the ice cream in that spoon. An Ran was stunned after Qin Ming ate the ice cream she gave to him because; An Ran ate that spoon, and Qing Min actually ate her spoon!

Lin Tao, a policeman played by Peng Chuyue had to stand still shouting at Qing Min instead of going after the thief who stole the mobile phone. Lin Tao took action only after Qin Ming stabbed him down, and he didn't look anxious at all, and he seemed to be joking when he questioned Qin Ming. He’s joking, he’s spitting and he’s confusing all the times. Lin Tao, not only did not reflect the qualities of a professional criminal policeman should have, but also infinitely magnified the shortcomings of Lin Tao's characters. And the whole police station seems to run in private by the Lin Tao’s big family.

An Ran, played by Tang Min, a graduated forensic doctor should be intelligent, but she acted like a brainless young girl. She knocked on the door in pajamas and brushed her teeth to wake up Qin Ming. She entered Qin Ming’s room without consent and she was stunned after seeing his fruit? She went to investigate the crime scenes alone at night without using her phone to call anyone to know. Although she was out of danger, she made a big mistake by investigating the criminal case alone at night. Director Chen did not punish for her mistake because Qing Min took all the blames defending her action. Director Chen even gave Qin Ming face and praised the two, telling them to have a love romance half day off. When the two returned home, An Ran’s mother was worried, and the whole family was anxious. Qin Ming became the scapegoat again, a contain of water for An Ran’s disaster relief was poured on the Qin Ming’s face.
An Ran’s family held a thank-you ceremony to thank Qin Ming for saving An Ran. An Ran’s father and Qin Ming became brothers and had to drink a bowl of wine together. Qin Ming was reluctantly given a sip to Lin Tao, but he still drunk falling down from up stairs. An Ran carried Qin Ming’s body who had a plaster cast on his foot, suddenly she looked at her watch worrying about the urgency of her task, ignored completely about her priority task carrying Qin Ming in her arm, let go Qing Min falling down from the stairs again. If Qing Min was an 80 years old patient, he could have his bones broken or die from falling the stairs. An Ran did not rush to pick him up, just stunned looking at Qing Min and the two looked at each other in their eyes from distance. An Ran said more than once that their town was "a small place”, but look at the the police station, the building is quite big. A big house, big room, big yard, big family many aunts, uncles, cousins and cousines sitting together in a big dinning table and everyone in the big family speaks Chinese with a different accent because actors and actresses came from a different region. Luo Qi, a fashion witch said that she participated in Fashion Week in Longfan City and she should have stayed at the Longfan luxury Hotel. It can be seen that Longfan City is a relatively backward township, but it can host a large-scale fashion activities such as a Fashion Week.
An Ran spoke out that she respected Qin Ming and believed everything of Qin Ming. But when she saw the electric shock box in Qin Ming's room, she didn’t ask Qin Ming for the reason why did he have the electric shock in his room, but turned around and reported Qin Ming. The problem is that An Ran, an intelligent forensic doctor acted so brainless all the times, no responsibility and belief in wearing a police badge.

Medical Examiner Dr Qin: the Mind Reader solved the support crime cases in 26 episodes, but solved the main case of Qin Ming’s mother murder case only in 2 episodes. Four forensic doctors and two policemen are in love in the police station during the crime suspense investigation. The love cases solved faster than the criminal cases and needed the love cases to solve the criminal cases. The horse ridings, the bike ridings, and some emotional scenes are likely the TVB Hong Kong styles, the British styles. The soundtracks of 2 emotional theme songs: Hate and love « Between » and Love You, love you, love you « Time Answers » the lyrics are mixing in Chinese and English languages really got nothing to do with the crime suspense investigation drama at all. The crime suspense soundtracks should be the suspense background music such as synthesizers and strings action instrumental intense, nightmare or panic music background instruments!
Some crimes scenes are not detailed enough. The real murderer was the boss of Chef Zhang’s family. After the criminal investigation was over, Qin Ming became a normal person and at the end, he officially announced his love relationship with An Ran, as the audience who complained that criminal suspense has changed into love romance drama.

The presentation of surrogacy, mistresses, love PUA, workplace bullying, father, mother, children, son, daughter, internet violence, the electric shock etc…and the supporting roles are average. However, such a story that will inevitably attract attention is buried by the protracted plot and overly lengthy emotional lines.

This new modern Qin Ming’s mind reader mosaic pictures in ancient arts played back to the ancient times where forensic doctors can wear the police uniforms and investigated crime as policemen, but they appeared in the modern times. In modern times today, forensic doctors can’t wear the police uniforms and can’t investigate crime as policemen anymore, the forensic chemists, forensic pathologists or forensic doctors don’t do detective work in the field and detectives don’t spend time in the laboratory examining evidence, these are two separate arms of law enforcement. 

This new modern Chinese Medical Examiner Dr. Qin: The Mind Reader ressembles to the British movie’s Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles in the 19th century. Except Holmes and Watson were mature, independent and they had no love romance relationship. They travelled by train together from London to the Baskervilles to investigate a mystery murder of Dr. James Mortimer’s friend. Detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson focused only their duties. Watson to collect the evidences causing the death and technical analysis in laboratory. Holmes to investigate the mystery murder in the field. Their professional detective and doctor’s duties became the world famous of mystery murder criminal investigation which translated into many languages included the Chinese language. It’s possible that Qin Ming’s mind reader copied some ideas from the Hound of the Baskervilles?

In conclusion:
The 4 main lead young actors and young actresses played the roles pretending so hard from new graduated students to become magic professionals in seconds that make illogical. Chinese graduated doctors still need to be trained by professional before going to work by their owns and they can’t wear the police uniforms, do detective and the police works in the fields.
Producer, director and screenwriter got to know, making drama is like making food.
Making drama, you got to tell the truth to the audience, what kind of genre the drama you’re making, what extra scenes you’re adding, write clearly the genre of your drama. You got to be awarded of the audience who dislike love romance in the plot of criminal suspense drama. Director Shi Lei in his interview promised to respect the audience, but he didn’t.
Making food, you got to tell the truth of your ingredients you’re putting in your food, write clearly the ingredients on your labels before advertising and selling to the consumer. You got to be awarded of the consumer with food allergies.
The producer of Medical Examiner Qin Ming’s Mind Reader should be fined by China’s SAMR for at least RMB 7.22 million (US$1.08 million) for false making the genre of drama, false advertising and violating advertising Chinese’s laws: Criminal Suspense has changed into Love Romance drama. And the disappointed audience need their money back from Youku Suspense.
