Ridiculous rationale and no character development

Over dramaticized irrational drama that relies solely on plot twists for the sake of plot twists and gives no attention to storytelling. It's a mess from start to finish. Characters stay the same from pretty much the first episode. Lengthy poetic dialogues that serve no purpose and I'm sure you'd end up skipping anyway. Extremely obvious clues that stick out like a sore thumb. Protagonist that solves almost every case because he is a protagonist and has no rationale. His reasoning for the most specific details about culprit profiling, go even as far as the shirt color they wear!? Did I mention that almost every single murder takes place in the same university our protagonist studies at!?

Also, I'm not sure how people pull the similarity between this trash and 'Death Note'. This show is not a back and forth between the two main characters. Fang Mu, the all knowing protagonist makes the character of the police officer, Tai Wei-Lian run around finding clues for him or just as a means to tell the police (by that, it's really the viewer) how Fang Mu figured it out. That's all the exchange there is between these two characters. So I repeat, it's an insult to 'Death Note' to be compared to this trash.

FORMULA FOR EVERY DAMN EPISODE/ ARC =

>> Someone finds a murder scene

>> Police on scene where the forensic chick explains how murder took place

>> Tai Wei-Lian aka the police guy bitches about not being able to prevent it if its a second murder in the murder spree, which it usually is (everyone in this university is a serial killer)

>> Tai Wei-Lian briefs the captain of police (prob the most realistic, well played character) about the case and he ofc asks em to figure everything out at the soonest, like he does every time

>> Tai Wei-Lian asks Fang Mu for help

>> Fang Mu goes to library, figures everything out just in time, before the next murder takes place.

** I challenge anyone who can prove my formula wrong!!

I think I've done enough ranting. If you think why it has rating more than 8, that's exactly what people watch this for. Do yourself a favour if you value your time and appreciate good storytelling, don't watch this.
