I love the plot
The plot is my fav part. At the beginning, it is a bit slow, but it got better every ep. I really love the show. The only thing I hate about this is the costume. Women's clothes are ugly.I hope to see more show like this. Women might be seen as fragile at the beginning, but she is very strong, even with petite body.

Here it is! Jeremy could make it!
About Jeremy Xu: The guy showed up in the second half of this show. His role gave me a Wow! Previously, I watched Braveness of the Ming, and Jeremy's character is the funny fool, like, the character who will die first in slasher films. During the time, I watched Legend of the Phoenix and Dugu, his role is just the stereotyped male lead and not interesting at all. For here, Whispers of Fate, his performance is definitely awesome. The characteristics of the character are like Joker, Riddler, and villains in old Disney film. It's the male character with queerness or sissy. If you want to know more, please search with keywords "queer-coded" or "queer-coding" villain in scholar article websites. Most academic works interpret that this is the negative role of character. I have never hated Jeremy Xu for that, but what I want to state here, is that, he could make it. The only skillful performers could do this. Jeremy could perform as many different characters, from the funny fool, the funny male lead, the stereotyped boring male lead, and here!! he could act the sissy villain role. This guy is more than talented, he is the REAL excellent one.About the show: Whispers of Fate is something special for me, because it had been for my family series night for a month, and I don't know why (our previous series nights are way more interesting, like watching IT, FBI, DUNE, Chucky, The Boys, Arrowverse). Everyone in the house sat and watched Whispers of Fate together without skipping, even I felt bored in many episodes. You know? In some episodes, the characters just drank tea and talked for the entire ep. In some ep, some character was just sick and did not do anything. In some ep, they just played hide and seek and nothing happened.
Something I like: My favorite thing about this show is turquoise and red scheme of some background, which the pair of colors later have been used in many drama cover/poster and women's outfits.
Something I dislike: Thing I do not like about this show is that there is no female role model for girls to learn and imitate. Both female protagonists were weak. One of them knew how to fight, and her master said that she was intelligent. However, she was not that. She got captured, and many male characters had to go out to save her. I was very disappointed.

Violence against women?
The story/plot is heavily about violence against woman, by the male protagonist. Good-looking and point-of-view characters could influence on the audiences most. I consider that this drama is very dangerous. It makes people view that violence against women is acceptable. The perpetrator is the male protagonist, and there is NO REAL punishment for the character.I think it would not be problematic if the perpetrator is the villain character.
OR another solution is that the male protagonist must REALLY pay for what he had done.

Luo Qiu Yun did an excellent job.
Watching this unintentionally. The system of streaming service just suggested it for me to watch. I don't see anything significant in this show, beside the role of Luo Qiu Yun. Although her character was the unrealistic version of female lead, she did an excellent job. Every time she was on scene, she made the scene interesting. For all other main performers, there is nothing exciting. I do not want to blame all them as the untalented or any negative, because they performed according to the writers, screenplay writer, producer, or director.Was this review helpful to you?

Best Chinese Show Ever Made!
First I thought I would drop this at ep4. However, later, I spent 2 whole days to watch every single ep without skipping.I definitely love this show and hope for Season 2.
I have never experienced watching any Chinese series as great as this. Almost all of the cases, the team investigated, were completed within 3 or 4 episodes, which is roughly about 1:30 hour. It's a proper length, while Korean shows with the similar genre (crime drama), I had to watch 12 eps just to understand 1 crime case.
Trace is more like NCIS, CSI, and FBI show with psycho serial murderers like in Gotham city. I hope there would be Season 2 or more shows like this. In fact, in here, they got all setting they need, the places, the coffee shop, all the relationship between characters, and also the characteristic of each. This is the first TV series what I could say, I really like it. It's worth to read all sub-title from the beginning to the end. I would paste this at my top list of Chinese TV series, following by Zhao Yao, and I could not think about anything else. My fav Chinese movie is Reset (2017), but I would not count because it is not TV series.
=======old review up to ep4=======
Excellent and honest female protagonist is the best kind.
I watched this for Jeremy Tsui/Xu. And I stopped watching this because I was lazy to read sub-title. The only Chinese language available on the streaming service, and I do not understand Chinese language at all.
The most favorite part is the intelligent female protagonist. Her role is really real, and she finds the truth for other people. This is different from those in period dramas where most female protagonists are linked to lying behaviors.

Drop at the first ep.
It repeats the same old trope of almost all of the Chinese dramas.
Women hurt one another, and the female lead was saved by a man, lying a lot, and discrimination against fat people. I do not know why the media try to teach these things to their people. I watch many sport matches with Chinese women athletes. They are strong with high attempt and enthusiasm. I praise them. What I learned from watching Chinese sport is very different from fictional stories in their TV shows. I want to send a big cheer and big hug to those athletes. Although they are prejudiced by their local media, they still try so hard and never give up.
