Anyone can say anything: I think it's a light crime-bromance work..

Well....Desire Catcher...
I'm not saying it's a flawless work... regardless, it was enjoyable to watch, although I was annoyed at some points...
The strength of the series is the well-choreographed action scenes and beautiful atmospheric shots... and the OST, I've been listening to it often since then, I love it.
And the other plus: the acting!
The side characters are neutral for me, sometimes I didn't even notice them...
Here, I was convinced by the performance of the two main characters, especially Lu Fengping, who played by Zheng Yecheng. I fell in love with him!
Although in the eyes of many this relationship is not a bromance... it wouldn't hurt to see behind the lines and notice the looks and gestures... and especially to understand... because what they do for each other tells a lot...
Quite a lot of interactions reveal how much they complement each other... you just have to notice...
Although their relationship is uncertain and more tense until episode 18, after which it goes into a state of rest, it was still enjoyable to watch them because there were still strong scenes.
The main villain was played quite well by the actor, although his reasons were a bit weak and selfish in my opinion. The nurse was better...
Overall, the plot was not bad, I liked the solutions to the crime, although the police are almost always "slow" and idiotic, but acceptable... however, the ending was a bit rushed..
Of course, there were actions in it that did not add anything to the story, and were even unnecessary, like the death of Xiu Liu....
I didn't really like the ending either, because the whole series is unfair to Lu Fengping, but it made up for it that they reunited with Luo Fei and the team at the end... at least the series didn't give an open ending.
Overall, this light hearted bromance crime drama was a pleasure to watch, I will probably watch it again.
Feel free to try it without listening to the negative comments!
