Plastic gore....

This drama is neither the hard core gore that other reviewers claim neither a masterpiece. I've made the mistake to take seriously the reviews and I've ended up watching one of the most boring crime dramas out there. The reasons are below ( spoilers).


The culprit is revealed early on and its motives are not persuasive.
The cops that are supposed to solve the case are in a some sort of nirvana state. They don't seem to try that hard to solve the case and they look rather dumb. The supposedly super intelligent profiler on the other hand doesn't seem intelligent enough to protect his self from being victimized.
And finally the supposedly gore props look fake. If the intention of the director was to persuade us that there is a maniac killer that cuts off corpses, he failed because these "corpses" look so plastic, that didn't make me care that much on how many pieces the killer cut them. I hope only that after filming they recycled them! lol

I could of course keep watching this drama for the sake of Vic Zhou who is very handsome guy but ......handsome guys can't persuade me to keep on watching boring crime dramas that can't trigger me intellectually to figure out who is the culprit or they don't have some interesting "good" guys.
The best crime or detective dramas are those that can engage their viewers with a good plot, character development and suspense but this doesn't belong to this category.

4 out of 10 from me for this one.
