Okay!!!!
I started this drama because it was a crime and detective genre and I love such dramas. It was also my first time watching Vin Zhang's drama. I was actually hooked from the first episode because there was suspense from the beginning and Yang Mi's character was also nice. I liked how optimistic Ma Shang was. He suited the serious female lead. The little touch of romance was nice. I am glad they did not try to add too much romance. The way they showed it in the drama was perfect.
And the Du Meng!!!!!!!! I loved him. The fact that they kiiled Du Meng was very strange. I know in such drama, one main character has to always die but this one was so unexpected. I was shocked. I realllyyyy liked him.
Miao Fei's character was actually really good. She was super clever and even when she suspected Ma Shang, she used her brain to control the situation and inform him and help the NSS. She could have been a great agent as well. I felt sorry for her though. I only saw her happy and laughing in the first few episodes and then I never saw her even smiling whole heartedly.
The ending was a very rushed. We kind of guessed Cheng Lei was the biggest suspect, but the way they revealed his identity was not well planned. Since he was the main evil, his storyline should have been shown in more detail. Even when Du Meng died, they didn't put light into this matter as much as they should have done. I understand the characters couldn't cry over him and leave their mission, but it felt a little emotionless to me. Only An Jing's feeling was portrayed properly.
Overall, I liked the drama, it was worth the time and tears...
Would love Vin Zhang and Yang Mi to work together again.
