Worth to watch for bl fan

Found this hidden gem 2 days ago and I have to say this drama deserved to get more recognition and popularity.
Set in the Republican-era, this crime thriller drama revolves around the bromance between a hot temper police chief (Jiang Yue Lou) and a kind heart doctor (Chen Yu Zhi). Story about two men with opposite character : one kills, while the other heals, killer and healer.

Mao Zi Jun did a great job portraying Jiang Yue Lou character, he is an uptight police officer in Jing City that hate opium dealer the most because his family was torn apart all thanks to the opium. He has been a loner his entire life and doesn’t trust people easily except for his adoptive father : Commisioner Bai Jin Bo, but Yu Zhi changed it all. He became a happy camper whenever Yu Zhi is around, even his subordinate realize this. All Yue Lou's unbridled desire and affection for Yu Zhi were portrayed well just from the way he look at Yu Zhi, those long gaze and deep yearning when they met again after life and death experience say it all. Chen Yu Zhi as a compassionate doctor who is righteous and kind with his calm and soft demeanor also well portrayed by Ian Yi. Their relationship was so solid and build from a mutual respect and utmost trust for each other thus it make no room for misunderstanding and I think this made the show more likeable to watch.

Well now, let's talk about the second couple. While the main couple was a pure and selfless type relationship that promote a positive vibe , the second couples was a nerve wrecking relationship. I love both actors who play these 2 roles : Chen Yu Cheng as the heartless and ruthless Zhan Jun Bai and Patrick Quan as an elegant and sophistiscated opera singer Boss Yu. Jun Bai was a character that never let anyone to hinders his goal, but unexpectedly he was drawn to Boss Yu kind and caring character. Both of them have hidden agenda when approaching each other, but it develop into a new stage when Boss Yu take the blow for Jun Bai. He takes Boss Yu as the first person whom he consider as his friend, because nobody has ever show this kind of care for him. Their relationship turns toxic when they learn each other’s true identities and both actors did really well when portraying this twist and turn event. I wonder if patrick Quan was really an opera singer, his soft and gentle demeanor with a little bit of feminine touch really made you believe this is his true nature.

All the elements in this drama are perfect : the story, acting, casts, set and musics. The song play in the background was so beautiful and match well with the scenes, that will give you a melancholy feeling upon hearing it. If you can handle the angst and devastating feeling with the ending, then this show should be on your watchlist.

This show must get more recognition and that's why i write this review so you wont miss this hidden gem
