A Case-Driven Drama That Didn’t Fully Work for Me
I’m sorry, folks—this drama just wasn’t for me. I dropped it at episode 10. There were several reasons it didn’t work.
While I appreciated that Ju Jingyi expanded her range by taking on a villainous role, I was disappointed when she slipped back into her usual character portrayals. And although Liu Xueyi delivered a strong performance, I felt the chemistry between the leads was mismatched, and the storyline itself was difficult to connect with. On the positive side, this was the first time Li Geyang caught my attention, and I thoroughly enjoyed his screen presence. He brought his character to life with charisma and nuance, layering various traits and moods effortlessly and naturally.
Overall, I liked the narrative framework that wove individual cases into a larger storyline, but ultimately, the execution didn’t quite land for me—it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
