Dull with an overly sweet and unrealistic romance
I usually am a sucker for this genre but a few things here werent working for me. Firstly, the cases just werent interesting.
Secondly, i couldnt really stand the leads after awhile. The FL comes off dull and lacking in any type of emotions. Her "im so kind n smart n self righteous" schtick got really boring after awhile. This is my first time watching li landi and i didnt find her very charismatic. Ao ruipeng was no better. His character seemed 2 dimensional, actually both of them were very 2 D and he seemed to exist just to serve the FL. He saves her from all sorts of ridiculously dangerous situations. The romance - ugh more than 50% of the shows focus was on the romance and even that was dull. Perfect, sweet and overly cloying. Neither of them seemed to have any faults and he was practically a simp for her from day 1. There wasnt any tension, they never quarrelled.. just nothing. While the actors has rapport i didnt feel much chemistry and their scenes were quite contrived.
Overall quite a disappointing watch.
