If anyone else in this show had any sense at all they would do exactly what In-hye and Hyo-rin did.

Can't argue with that.

I get that. But that's why no cop should be allowed to be a part of an investigation or be part of the decision making process in a case where they have skin in the game. It diminishes their capacity for objectivity.

Anyway, this is a nutty K drama.

It's hard to say at this point but all the signs seem to be pointing in that direction particularly because they both appear to like each other.

Honestly there is so much convenient stupidity in the police force. They are completely fixated on some leads to the detriment of others. Just because someone says they are "Yoon Jae" doesn't mean that they are. If you can lie, so can they.

I think he is.

There aren't a lot of Do-il and In-joo scenes but that one with her head on his lap is really just butterflies in stomach stuff. It's a lovely "awww" moment. It's one of those rare moments where he's being unusually intimate and she's completely relaxed around him.
Their chemistry is just lovely.

Then he decides to go grumpy on her again. :D

Jury tampering, a serial killer on the loose, a 21st century workhouse, a noir style police procedural.
Yeah. What's not to like.

Aside from that poster, what other evidence is there for that theory?

I think it does too.

It's hilarious. Better than Chief Kim IMO.

I think it's a little more complicated than that. On some level all characters should be properly fleshed out and not come across as caricatures. Their motives should be evident to the audience regardless of how they get labelled.
If anything the two of them come across as selfish and preoccupied with their own desires. She wants her cake and eat it too while Tian Guinong is a weasel prone to gaslighting to get what he wants. These days she seems to be suffering from buyer's remorse. All's not that well with them.

For whatever they're worth, it's my 2 cents on Episodes 7 and 8.

Thanks for reading.

"There's no one in the world that looks like you, In-joo."
Yup. The man is in love.

You're welcome. :D I thought a review was warranted because 40 episodes is a huge commitment for most people.

If they cut out a lot of the behind the scenes police activities (who really cares about what the brass talks about in their meetings and then to have all that repeated again at another time) and just focused on Cheng Zheng's relationship with the Zhaos, this would be a far more interesting show and certainly an opportunity for Johnny Huang to flex his acting muscles.
Trimming off 10 or more episodes would do this show a lot of good. It's just such a hard slog a lot of the time.

This show would be so much better if they trimmed it. There's a decent story in this but good grief... it plods.

My thoughts on the show so far...

Thanks for reading.

I'd say it's deliberate because the Hu style uses a sabre which is a larger more clunky weapon.

There's something gloriously beautiful about watching Miao Renfeng in action. His agility and speed exudes an unmatched elegance like a crane taking flight and landing.

A wuxia drama that lives up to its premise. What a surprise.
