just love dramas like these, dramas that are adapted from novels. <3
The title is kinda cheesy cute and will throw people off but It does make sense to the story. ^^
It was a bit hard for me to get into it at first, I'd say maybe 10 minutes into the drama wasn't easy to follow. I had to stop everything I was doing and pay closed attention. Now here's where it gets even more interesting. One huge case with different criminals. You'd think the cases were separate but those big cases led to an even bigger case. Everything was connected and I loved it.

I don't know how it is exactly in the novel and I personally would love to read it but the drama was amazing. I love the main leads XuXu and Ji Bai. I loved how they were when they first met. Ju Bai seemed like a big, intimidating man while Xu Xu seemed like a fragile little girl who wasn't afraid of him. One of the one things I loved was how brave she was. She took risks and wasn't afraid to speak her thoughts. She kind of... hmm.. I don't wanna use the word scare, but she kind of gave me goosebumps and the reason why was because of how excellent she was at reading people and how accurate her analysis was. "It was like she could read minds" or something. She was very adorable tho! >w< Ji Bai (Kai Kai) was very handsome, strong, rough and tends to hides his emotions. I think they got along pretty well. They didn't really focus on the romantic aspect of the drama, but rather on the crime/investigations instead. It didn't bother me at all because the little scenes they showed with the main leads were so cute, I just wished there was more.

Most of the time the drama was very somber, that also includes the acting as well. They made use of silence and I thought is was amazing. Silence speaks volume as they say. The setting along with the background music they played gave me an eerie feeling which had me wanting more. It's one of those doubtful feelings you get when you think everything is cream and peaches and a happy ray of sunshine but you don't know what's going to happen so you can't help but wait in fear that something bad might happen. That's exactly how this drama was for me. I was on edge each episode.
I liked the music especially the opening and ending. I love Xu Xu's drawings that they showed in the opening. It was very appealing to look at and I think it tied in well with the cinematography which was so beautifully done. This drama was really good and I wholeheartedly recommend. ^^
