Why does MDL say 21 episodes while Netflix has 34 episodes? Just stumbled upon this show based on Netflix recommendations…
a lot of old dramas are cut/aired differently across different platforms, the same happened with mars where the og tv network had longer episodes but less total episodes
planning on trying this when it's done airing, can anyone give me their first impression, good or bad? ik not to trust the ratings nowadays bc everything starts out under 8 stars upon airing now π
finally finished, so glad the ending wraps up everything nicely by showing the aftermath of each of the seven cases!! felt like such a journey, but my fave case was def the one with the grandpa and the crazy mechanisms
can't believe it's over!! fave case is still the one about the wu family because it was so tragic how many woman were commodified for riches and discarded when labelled as "promiscuous". it was satisfying to see the grandpa get the bad guys down and watching LPY + XHJ walking through his mechanism plans. sooo thrilling that i need to let it marinate for a while and forget all the details so i can rewatch
This is pretty solid in terms of plot and acting, and it gets an 8.2 while another that is quite meh plot-wise…
MDL drama ratings have never been that representative of the full audience. Sometimes I watch a 8.6-8.7 drama, and it ends up being trash while my fav dramas end up way lower in ranking. Most criticisms ive seen have been about how there are too many "random suicides", which i kinda disagree with π
dailuwa + bailu reunion reminds me of moonlight mystique!! personally I prefer this drama bc I feel like case solving dramas move at a thrlilling pace, does anyone have any good detective drama recs?
i feel so bad for old xiao.. he saw his own daughter being broken by this extraction system so he broke it himself to save more peopleπ π π π
I think the romance develops so much more naturally when it's a subplot.. I wish more dramas did this bc usually the flirty scenes take away from my ability to enjoy the characters individually
If ML didn't want to work with FL in the first case, why did he all of a sudden show up and work with her seamlessly…
i think that look on the tower was him recognizing her from his past, but he's also reluctant to get close bc of that scene w/ his dad. it's clear that the dude did some sketchy shit and doesn't want her to investigate it, which is why XHJ has to keep his distance. still, the plot only moves forward if he follows his own judgment and works on cases at his own will
it's so chilling to know that there's always someone higher up is always puppeteering the criminals that are initially thought to be masterminds, they need to be locked upppp π©
