Short and Bare Bones But A Thrilling Ride

A Jade pendant, Revenge and Rebirth may be a bit cliché but this Mini drama definitely takes those elements and weaves them together rather well. What first glance seems like a open-and-shut case get unraveled deeper and deeper then further down the spiral the leads go within the story.

Where the show excels is with its fight scenes, wire work, and morally grey characters. Almost everyone has a reason for their actions, whether it is a "good" reason or not is beside the point.

As for the plot, everything is bare bones told, nothing extra added which honestly does sometimes mean things you would like to have further explained are dropped and not discussed or shown on screen. But as for the MAIN story, everything important is shown and discussed.

One thing I found interesting was that the ending was expanded upon as much as it was. Without spoiling anything, the main conflict is resolved and then there is a final bit of romance in the last bit of the show. There are MULTIPLE times I could have seen the show ending earlier with a "lesser" ending but the one we got was VERY satisfying in my personal opinion.

8/10

(If it had had the budget to delve a "little" deeper it probably would have been higher but there's only so much when some episodes are 7 minutes cutting out the credits).
