UPDATE BELOW. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, I AM EMOTIONAL.

(This first part is my original review before I finished the series)

OH HOW I HOOWWWWLLLLEEEDDDDD!!!!! This show has many of the most outrageous banters in the asian dramaverse.
The FL is strongheaded and seems to be unafraid of anything. Her life, her rules. She outshines all other girls, and not always in a good way. The ML is more like "Oh you want my help? Let me think about it while I lean on this wall looking cool with my smouldering eyes broad shoulders tiny waist and smexy voice." He is one cunning bastard. But of course he is a good person deep down inside, and a patient man too. I am now at episode 20 and we can already see the budding boy in love that he is, silently crushing while helping his dream girl dealing with murder, suicide, defamation, and other annoying things happening in her life. She is just too busy for romance, you know.

Episode 21 is also a milestone for Qiu Min, FL little sister. It is a "WTF girl" moment but also "You go girl, go get what you want" moment.

The villain is smart and also, a cunning bastard. Going against him is like playing chess. He can guess your next move so you better think carefully. Quite satisfying as an opponent, really.

I will update when I finish but for now, I'm ready for more romance.

MY UPDATE AFTER FINISHING THE SERIES

Ok, no more romance. At least nothing worth mentioning. Our ML is just very understanding that he would never keep the free spirited FML tied in a romantic relationship, not even trying. LIKE, DUDE FR. HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF BEYONCE'S PUT A RING ON HER. And the FML just doesn't tell that she is actually willing to stay. 'If only he would ask', she says silently. PEOPLE, COME ON. Who wrote this shit.

Now, the little sister. It is not a 'You go girl' moment, apparently. But more like 'You go and never come back, girl' moment because she goes full unhinged from eps 21 onwards. Again, who wrote this shit???

To make things worse, the FML has to pretend that she is someone with a totally different identity, in front of the whole townspeople. Oh she looks the same, sounds the same, same height and everything, but she is not HER, because HER is dead. She is a totally different girl that has nothing to do with HER. And the whole town fell for it. SOMEONE FIRE THE WRITER ALREADY PLEASE.

It could have been very good. What a missed opportunity.
