A feast for suspense and romance lovers.

This is one of the most unique dramas that YoYo English Channel has put up. With only 24 episodes, the mini mystery plots, excellent cast, hint of romance and comedy, it has enough solid substance that is pretty bingeworthy.
All the actors, even the supporting cast, played their roles excellently. Li Jia, Cha Cha and Ah' Cheng's friendship was particularly noteworthy. They reminded me of the Harry Potter trio a lot. I wish I can see more such relations in CDramas. Even in moments of distress, Ah-Cheng would crack a joke and lighten up the mood.
Cha Cha's romance towards Li Jia was truly a delight.
Each episode had a fresh plot and dealt with how the events in them ultimately affected Li Jia, a PG student in psychiatry, who was desperately clinging to a hope that moving away from his home could change the fate that ultimately awaits him - genetically linked schizophrenia around the age of 24.
I loved his character - kind of an introvert, but with enough insight and brains. Cha Cha and Cheng on the other hand were more of his supporters who helped him with each and every step.

--- The downsides would be that some 'mysteries' felt too unbelievable or longer than necessary. The ending itself seemed rather rushed with several unanswered questions.

Despite that all, I'll still recommend this to anyone looking for a quick thrill.
