As a huge fan of crime shows and police procedurals, I was completely hooked on this series! It’s honestly one of the best investigative dramas I’ve watched in a long time. The premise is so refreshing. It follows a forensic artist who joins the police force to solve crimes using art and psychology, all while trying to untangle a traumatic mystery from his own past. The way the show uses art history to deduce facts about the killers made it even more gripping. The university scenes were some of my absolute favorites, along with the chess match and the red jacket scene. Just brilliant.
There were times I had to binge two or three episodes in a row because it was just impossible to turn off. There wasn't a single boring moment. The writing is incredibly well-crafted, and it handles the tragic motives behind each crime with a lot of sensitivity. Every single character is well-developed, and the entire cast deserves a ton of credit for bringing such complex, layered characters to life. Plus, the show does a great job balancing high-tension, suspenseful moments with lighter, funnier scenes.
As for the two leads, they were absolutely perfect and did an amazing job. The relationship between Shen Yi and Du Cheng starts off incredibly tense, filled with mistrust and resentment over a past event, but it slowly evolves from initial resistance into genuine friendship, respect, and trust. I can’t wait to start season two! Highly recommend.
