Awesome plot even if there is too much romance for me

So, I make my account now (I planed to do it later cuz I was lazy) cuz I really wanted to say what I thought of this amazing story. (And I guess that I will do the same with the others dramas that I fell in love with ahah).
By the way, I'm not english but I really try to make no mistakes, or at least to stay comprehensible (I hope).

Also, I tried to make the less spoilers that I could cuz I really don't want to spoil anything. But don't read the review if you don't know what relationship have the main leads between them, I guess it's the only thing I really spoil here.

I was waiting for the last episode to be aired to watch it in one go. At first, I really wanted to watch every seconds... But the main girl... She wasted the plot for many episodes... I mean, she was "okay" as a character but because of the story going between her and Jiang Shuo, the "bromance" (like friendship here) was wasted. Like, we really see intense moments in the last episode only. And the end was really good tho cuz it means there is a possibility for season 2, even if it will not be in the "same atmosphere" (you know what I mean if you saw the last episode... I don't want to spoil this part cuz it really is the main thing ahah) tho. But I also like it if it ends like that cuz if they do a second season and they make romance plot like in this season, it will be a waste...

Cuz, every character is really good, I really don't say the opposite. I'm just saying that in like 15 episodes (at least), the plot was concentrated in the Mu Qing and Jiang Shuo relationship and it was really boring cuz it was like cuting a good story just to put romance in it... Also, a thing I hated : the girl first liked Qin Yi Heng cuz she thought he saved her but when Jiang Shuo saves her, she begins to like him... I really didn't like that, to be honest.

But hey, if you erase the romance plot, the story is AMAZING. One of the best thing I ever watched. I'm trying to find the novel, but can't find it... So saaaaad...
And the chemistry between the two main leads was really good. And when you know everything that is behind this, you're like "they are destined to be bestfriends forever, even brothers, sworn brothers, whatever you want if they are in the best terms" cuz you can see all the devotion they have for each other. And that's also why I think the romance parts wastes the story : when you learn why Jiang Shuo was doing what he was doing, you're like "SO YOU WASTED YOUR TIME WITH MU QING but your true goal was saving Qin Yi Heng", so it's frustrating as hell.

By the way, the music... OST are AWESOME, AMAZING, whatever you want that can say that they were really good as hell. I want to listen to them forever huhu

And, like I said before, the acting was really great, freaking awesome ; even if sometimes I was like "Huh, you can't run like that man, what are you doing with your arms ?" x'D But it was really nothing, so it's not a problem.

I put 10 on rewatch value even if I will always skip the romance parts. I'm okay with a few of them since they help the story being developped but most of them are useless and they only "waste" the story that we wanted to have between the two male lead (platonic relationship huh, not saying that they have to kiss or anything but just I really wanted to see their friendship being more and more developped than it is in the actual episodes, cuz, like I said before, when you reach the last episode, you know that the story between the two of them really deserves to be more exploited... I mean, their relation is even what makes everything start so...

And please, all the thing with chinese beliefs and feng shui and so on... Really interresing even if you are not into these things. It's really captivating ! I really loved that. To be honest, I'm really fond of mysteries, crimes plots and so on, so this story is freaking amazing for me in these points. Tooooooooo goooooooood that I really wanted moooooooooore (but less romance parts huhu) !

What's more... I just want to say again thay I really enjoyed this drama - even if it was not every minutes like I thought I will ; but huh, everyone wants romance now so they make screenwriter to put too much romance in their show... I mean, everyone likes whatever they want, but I stay with my point that the romance between Jiang Shuo and Mu Qing should stay a back-side story and that the friendship with Dr. Qin should be the main relationship that have to be developped.
I really wonder how it is going in the novel to be honest. Did the author make the friendship the main relationship or it's the same as the drama and the romance is a big (too big) part of the story ?

Sooooooo, I will never end this review if I continue to monologue with myself. So, just to put an end to my words : don't ever hesitate to watch Psych-Hunter (if you're like me and that you're sick of too much romance, just skip the parts with it, it will not make the story hard to understand !).
And I hope that if there will be a second season, the friendship between our two male leads will be the main relationship. Cuz please, that's note because the assistant of Dr. Qin looks like Mu Qing that they will fall for each other ? Please, I really hope that it will not be like that it there is a second season !
