This was a very intriguing series. Although the script had some weak aspects, I still really enjoyed it. The production team did a great job grabbing my attention from the very beginning. There was a point when I felt the storyline was dragging a bit by the 9th episode in which they introduce the first plot twist. Although it’s a very heartbreaking twist, it revised my interest in the series. The script was very well laid out and did a great job connecting multiple aspects together. It also did a great job integrating many of the supporting characters into the various stories during the different timelines. This also did an incredible job switching between the various timelines. This series had some very complex characters. Just when you think you understand their actions, the script flips it around. However, the main weak aspect in the script was the 2002 storyline involving He Xiao He. A very minor weak aspect was the questionable police work done throughout the series. The styling and costume department did an incredible job creating different looks with each character for the various time lines. They also did an amazing job with the props and set/location designs to create the lapse of time. The entire cast was incredible throughout this. This also had amazing cinematography, CGI, and special effects. However, there was some odd background music choices at times.

Random Note:

Yuanlongli International Gardens should also be listed as a main lead.

This has a lot of plot twists. Two were a big surprise for me and one I guessed from the beginning.

This had some of the most heartbreaking moments I’ve ever seen in a drama. This included the very last scene which was also slightly bizarre.

The series synopsis on MDL does not give an accurate description and is a little off. My favorite miss information is “use a yellow-painted jeep and a makeshift excavator for investigation”. This part is hilarious and nether one is in the series. The synopsis on Viki is more accurate.
