I just finished. I want to like this show. There are parts I like about this show. But the plot really defies logic and common sense in so many places. For a detective show, that is like the worst mistake to make. The villain acts like he's from a comic book instead of a reality based drama, and the final section is so completely ridiculous that I almost dropped it with 1.5 episodes left. I stayed for ML, fast-forwarded and only watched his scenes. It is such a waste of good actors. I don’t want to give a bad score, but this is one of the worst shows I finished.

I have not finished. It's so far a yes to 1, 2 and 4. 3 is dependent on your pov. There is one central villain who enables all the killings but he doesn't do much killing himself.

I kept watching . I feel dumber after watching 3 episodes. The whole sex offender case made zero sense. The attempted assault in the 1st episode should have landed the guy back in jail. But the ML is so cool in an action role!! I'll try to watch this like fiery priest 2 and island, i.e. with zero expectation of logic. Hopefully that will let me enjoy the show.

Started because I am a fan of ML and I like action thriller/detective shows (with no or little romance). But I'm just one episode in, and there are already enough scenes that made so little common sense that I'd probably have dropped if not for the ML. Is there anyone else who started for ML and like mysteries? Do you think the ML is cool enough in the show to make up for the insult to common sense/logic?

Yeah, it's been one logic-defying plot point after another since around ep 20. I am waiting but to be honest I am kind of losing motivation to finish the last few episodes.

I am only 2 episodes ahead of you, and I think it does get worse in terms of what is realistic. I was annoyed enough to write a comment on it.

I am only on 23. I think it's just the one scene, but it was shown more than once in flashbacks. It was when DY was still a child where the dad blamed her and the mom asked them to just leave

Hmm, I'm on ep23. I thought the show was pretty realistic and logical until the case if the girl who needed surgery a couple of episodes back. Then, in this episode, two characters somehow ended up on a secluded mountain road after arresting a bad guy in the city at a location that can be reached via taxi. I'm not at the end yet, but at this point, I agree with the other comments about this turning into a bit of a mess. The show started so well. It was easily one of the most gripping shows I've seen this year. It's a shame if it falls flat at the end.

I think in general hair length is variable for the same character in costume dramas. Supposedly, they have the hair "up" in different ways (tight bun, bun with some hair flowing, hair flowing with sides held back), so the length differs.

But realistically, the bun will need to be much bigger to hold hair of that length. That happens in almost all the shows when characters go between the neat (hair up) style and the unkempt (hair down) style. This show just have more styles for ML than the usual two, heheh

I suspect the cure probably involves seriously harming ML and maybe also FL. I think Little white dragon is too kind to know that kind of procedure. It kind of reminds me of DFS get to Level 8 of Beifeng Baiyan in
Mysterious lotus casebook. The meridians has to be completely destroyed and remade. Except there was nothing cheesy about LLH and DFS (just the best frenemy vibes)

I dislike the poison plot. I think that is being over-used. But I am starting to think it is an important story element in this show in order to connect the team with Old Bug and Poison Valley. I suspect the death of Feng's master is tied to the Yesha case

I don’t think ML is vindicated yet in the prison scene, at least not publicly. The leader of their camp said he didn't think there'd be a day that he'd entrust his life to a suspect. I'm in the middle of 20 and decided to stop while it's in a good place

Old bug said your "junior sister" is your antidote. He fed him something. My mandarin isn't great (I speak Cantonese). But I think old bug said don't think about biting your tongue to kill yourself. He started doing the acupuncture and said he tried this with others and no one survived before. It's like 9:1 odds of death:live. More accurate to say 10 death 0 life.

So yes, I think this is the cure and I agree is super cheesy.

Oh no! I like TS. But he is the one I am most worried about since his role on the team is a little too similar to FL. I guess I'll just keep watching amd hoping I'm wrong.

I wished they didn't do the happy "what do you to do in the future" interlude in episode 16. In a drama, that is like tempting fate and asking for bad things to happen. I hope I am wrong, but I think someone from the group is not going to make it...

I started this after finishing Coroner's diary. I find the leads less mature and sympathetic here. This also has story elements that I think is over-used in c-drama to force tension. I suspect much of the bad ratings come from viewers reacting poorly that one particular plot element. I don’t like it myself but will keep watching since this is an enjoyable watch otherwise.

Heh, yes. I thought the show seems pretty realistic until that.

I like the show and plan to continue. Costume detective drama is my favorite genre. This one has good production value and is fast-paced. It's been a fun watch so far. I am on episode 12 now. I just hope my instinct (from watching lots of cdrama) is wrong and the 'team' of 5 all survives at the end

Hmm, I hope they don't go the mysterious lotus casebook or Guardians of Dafeng route with ML. I am only 8 episodes in. But I think the clues are pointing to the ML being linked to the unknown mysterious "big bad" and being pushed to fulfil some sort of destiny (that the ML is opposed to). I hope I'm wrong though. That route rarely ends well for the ML and I like happy endings

Wow, another MLC story element! Even the name of the tribe sounds like Nanyin, heh
