What an disappointment,kimbum come back to drama after so long,this time as a second lead as always.I don't know if he doesn't get offered first lead dramas or doesn't chooses lead lead dramas.

The book is a detailed, inspiring biography and chronicle of Cui Daozhi (崔道植), a legendary Chinese forensic trace evidence expert and one of the founding figures of modern criminal investigation technology in the People's Republic of China.Born in 1934 (of Korean ethnicity), Cui Daozhi began his career after serving in the Korean War (as a People's Volunteer Army soldier), transferring to the public security system in 1955. He dedicated over 64 years (and still active into his later years) to criminal technical work, specializing in trace inspection and identification — particularly ballistics (gunshot and bullet marks), tool marks, footprints, and other minute physical evidence left at crime scenes.

Key highlights of the book:Legendary skills: Cui is famous for his extraordinary ability to "read" crime scenes like expressions on a face. He can identify critical clues from tiny, overlooked traces — such as a single cartridge case, half a fingerprint, or subtle marks on bullets/tools — that others miss. This earned him nicknames like China's "anchor that steadies the sea" for major difficult cases, the "treasure" or "soul of criminal police," and a real-life figure more vivid and admirable than Sherlock Holmes.

Career achievements: He personally examined and provided expert opinions on over 7,000 pieces of trace evidence across thousands of cases, with zero errors recorded. He participated in solving numerous high-profile, nationwide-impact major cases, including:The Chongqing Zhang Jun serial armed robbery and murder gang case (one of China's most notorious in the late 1990s–early 2000s).

The Shenyang "1·18" massive armed explosive robbery of an armored car case (2003).

Countless gun-related homicides, explosions, and other serious violent crimes spanning decades.


Narrative style: The book reads like an engaging collection of real detective stories while being strictly factual. It vividly reconstructs case investigations step-by-step, showing how Cui's meticulous expertise, sharp observation, persistence, and loyalty repeatedly cracked seemingly unsolvable mysteries. At the same time, it serves as a tribute to his unwavering faith in the Party, selfless dedication, and lifelong pursuit of justice.

Broader significance: Through one man's career, the book reflects the history and development of China's criminal investigation technology from the early days of the PRC to the modern era. It portrays the arduous struggles, sacrifices, and heroic spirit of several generations of Chinese police officers, especially in the "public security frontline."

Cui Daozhi is a national model, recipient of the July 1 Medal (China's highest honor for Party members, awarded in 2021), and widely regarded as an outstanding representative of the公安 (public security) system.The book is both a heroic ode and an educational text on police spirit, faith, and professionalism. Parts of its stories inspired the web drama "Xing Jing Shi Ke 1: Feng Hua Zheng Mao" (Criminal Police Moment 1: In Full Bloom / Prime of Life), starring Bai Jingting (白敬亭), which dramatizes elements of Cui's early career and cases.In short: This is the true story of a real-life "Chinese super detective" — an ordinary yet extraordinary forensic expert who spent his entire life using science, diligence, and loyalty to protect justice and the people in the People's Republic.

Sorry,I haven't read the novel and manhwa

Due to trauma,yifan feel inferior and afraid that her uncle will harm sang Yan,I can understand that part and it was not that long.I also think second couple and grandpa part was unnecessary.I think second lead is always a hindrance in Chinese dramas but Chinese audience like dramas with social messages,I think that's why they gave screentime to grandpa story.

Her father is dead,her mother abandoned her for new family and left her to the aunt house where her own uncle tried to rape her and despite all that her mother didn't care about her.she is alone and lost her confidence and feel inferior and deserves no happiness.sang Yan appears as a bright light in her life giving her love and happiness she deserves.keep watching you will understand it later.she will lighten up.

So,in your opinion playing a gay role will make his roles mature.I hate it whenever there are two male leads because people start speculating it as a gay drama.Look at a dictionary,you can find a term brotherhood,there is nothing wrong with two boys being friend.

You are one of a kind,Although I can accept that beginning was good but I cannot accept that ending was good especially season 2.

It is fine for newly introduced actors but it's a legendary actor leejongsuk drama who has given us masterpiece dramas like w,while you were sleeping,pinocchio,big mouth etc.fans expect more from him especially when he return to drama after long time.Almost all characters have same screentime and a repetitive setup( office and restaurant).First of all the cases they handle were not unique nor they showed us much of a romance between lead character.Their romance almost ended after ep 8.honestly it is a boring drama.This drama doesn't even deserve this rating .By the way I rated this drama 5/10, although for casting it is 10/10.

Maybe in the future.i have seen on twitter that her recent drama 'speed and love' is good but I haven't watched it.

I haven't watched FL 's other dramas but in this drama,it is too childish and irritating.i dropped it on 2nd episode so I have no idea about it's ending.

If you have still not watched it,there is still time.Believe in peoples comment on this drama and just drop it.it is the worst xukai drama till date and the worst part is annoying and childish FL character.sorry of late reply.

Very good drama.I would say it is best xukai's female centric drama.their chemistry is really good.it deserves more rating .in my opinion this drama is 8.4/10

ML 's character is strong.He became general and emperor see him as strong support but if you are talking about screentime I also agree with you.despite having more than 50 episodes they failed to properly represent the chemistry between ML and FL.From Political pov ,this drama is realistic and good but romantically it is a huge disappointment.If you are fan of actors,you many find it watchable because the time Ml and FL are together,they are cute and their chemistry is good but the problem is there are always a misunderstanding/ third wheels in between them.i liked the first 10 episodes and last few episodes.In the future I hope xukai and li yitong Collab for another project .They look good together.

It reached 100k users who rated this drama.There are very few dramas which has reached this milestone.

It doesn't matter.its not like casting director will finalize co actress from the list.it is just for fun.Also by looking at baijingting's previous co actresses ,he doesn't seem like the actor who love to work with popular actresses.

I think I am the only one who would love to see him collaborating with dilraba in action romance drama.I voted for her but she was on second last rank.I thought bailu was on the list too.I think many people would to see their collaboration as well.

I didn't mean of popularity in that sense. I know In 2025,Xu Kai achieved major popularity milestones, including his character Mei Zhuyu from Moonlit Reunion breaking 100 million in Tencent Video popularity index in just 13 days one of the fastest in the year and his accumulated effective drama views reaching 29 billion on Yunhe, leading actors in his age group. He also won prestigious awards like Outstanding Young Actor at the China-U.S. TV Festival and was ranked among the top 10 most popular male celebrities on WeChat. I mean to say about people believing false rumors and accepting those rumors.You cannot deny that these activities have impacted his fame especially because of YouTube videos.At one point there was even a rumor of him dropped out from variety show 'great escape'.Despite those rumors,he was not fallen so I hope 2026 will be a year of great success and great projects to him.

I watched a whole episodes of ancient love poetry.it is one of my favourite drama of xukai.also I don't believe it's because of recent black marketing.

I tried to watch this drama.but I found it too slow.Episode 1 was fine but the acting or story was too slow.i had to drop it.

Xu Kai needs another hit drama like 'falling into your smile' to surge his lost popularity now.
