Great acting skills, direction and high production quality
The visuals of the entire series are very pleasant, with no jarring filters or color grading. The overall Chinese eerie atmosphere is captured well, and many scenes are beautifully and meticulously crafted (like Zhuang Luobai in red in the snowy white field). It's clear the director has a great eye.In terms of the plot, I think the fast pace is both a strength and a weakness of the show. Perhaps because it's a Chinese drama with limited runtime per episode, there are no drawn-out romantic subplots or mundane family scenes. Each episode quickly introduces a case and moves the plot forward, making it incredibly satisfying to binge-watch. However, for the same reason, some cases don't have enough time to build up details, causing many clues to be handed to you directly. This makes some plot twists quite easy to guess.
Overall, the flaws don't overshadow the merits. I personally really enjoyed this series and hope there will be a second season and hope that make the episodes longer, maintain this production quality and improve the suspense in script writing
