Started Off Good But Got Slow

First off good styling choices, ML looks amazing in the fur! Ding yuxi is a good actor but his dramas are hit or miss. This one is somewhere in the middle but his character? 10/10 acting!

FL is new to the scene Deng Enxi said in an interview it's her first romantic kiss on screen and she was nervous but Ding Yuxi coached her through and lead the romantic scenes well making it less awkward. I think their playful bro/sis relationship translates into a fun dynamic on screen and i commend them for that, but BEWARE IT IS A SLOW BURN

THE MYSTERY ISN'T GIVING
- I'm sorry but the writing for the politics and the cases were hit or miss, but after the first 12-15 eps it was not capturing my attention enough and this made the ending felt a bit rushed
- Truly the writers should have just made this more romance heavy if they didn't know how to write a coherent political plot. There's no shame in that, but the attempt here? some of the cases were a snooze fest if i'm honest

Altogher the cast was good, romance scenes were too but is it going to be a long-lasting impression drama? NO
Honestly trim the eps, make the side characters unique and have more screen time maybe then we will care more about the whole climactic showdown at the end which fell a bit short

Not bad not great 7/10?
