Pure content warnings: Torture. That's the big one. Not on-screen (so far), but casually implied, mentionned and never addressed as a bad thing, because, y'know. CHINA. Bullying, boundaries violation, blood and murders obviously, manipulations. A few examples: threatening to accuse a man of rape if he doesn't obey her, making people do all the work while they sleeps, stealing shit from the house of a witness, insulting and belittling of basically everyone, etc. This show is so wholesome! =_=
I'm going to be honest: I dropped that show and intend to never finish it, if only because the casual use and mentions of torture upset me. Who would've known?
Now, the summary is actually very misleading. What truly happens is that one of the male main leads is arrested by the second male lead for murder and the female lead bullies her way in because of "plot reasons". That's not a task force, and it wasn't planned.
The main characters are all dicks in their own ways, so together they fill up a full Asshole Bingo card. Lu Yao is especially infuriating, what with how entitled, sniveling and manipulating he is. The guy who tortures people is somehow more honorable and respectable than the man who doesn't.
The opening is dope, tho!
Now that you've been appropriately warned, enjoy ! (I guess)
