Honestly the ending was just one of the most satisfying for this type of drama.

The whole point of the story wasn't just about schizophrenia or multiple identity disorder so I didn't mind that the science and research were a little dated. The point of the story - and its rather depressing and nihilistic - that people make it impossible to live without using violence. The psychiatrist guy villain, was basically everything in life that forces you to question your faith, hope, love and even devotion.

But while he had to use his other violent self, the protagonist eating an 'apple' only when the dark self comes up, like being kicked out of heaven wouldn't be so bad so long as the apple is tasty - where the Apple is symbolic of desire, anger, evil.

People are saying the ending was ambiguous but it really wasn't, like Strangers in Hell there was no ambivalence about the other self taking over.

Even the mysteries they were solving were very well constructed and fresh .

What got to me the worst prob was Sharp's death. I don't know what it was but there was a devastating sadness in the way it happened.

But why not 10 rating?

Tbh I've said this before, the three characters Li Jia, Chacha, Cheng had great chemistry, ah that scene in the forest where Cheng goes missing and the other two go looking for him, I've not wanted three people to not break up this much since 3 will be free. Like the way all of them kept assuming the other person was in love with one of them, it was just so cute! And holy gay fujoshi Lord that scene where Joseph and Cheng get tazed and tortured by the necro lunatic in the morgue lol just watch it okay , you're welcome XD

But I was soooooo disappointed when they ended up making it a typical het love in the second half I was so frustrated.

And also I feel like the ending and the subject matter deserved less cutesy het love, just my opinion.

Other than that I loved it
