"I'm looking for my little bee"
Chi Zhen's last words...it's touching that he realized he loves the girl...and finally found a true partner and friend in Lu Li...the same goes the other way around...Lu Li is much more expressive as the series progresses and she is also a true partner found in the person of Zhi Chen.
Both characters are traumatized, Zhi Chen because of his lost sister and his mother's distance, and Lu Li because of his father's guilt and the "loss" of his wife, daughter...
In the beginning, they are against each other, but then they become true friends as they solve more and more cases together.
Not even the main villain acting in the background could destroy their friendship, whose identity and actions we learn about during and at the end of the series.
I liked Chi Zhen's humanity and sense of justice, something amazing... Lu Li's sometimes impulsive behavior is also very good acting.
Honestly...it was a very good series: violence, rape, murder after murder...not to mention the unscrupulous procedure...I liked the investigation of the cases.
Incredible acting and I honestly loved the relationship between the two main characters. Although they are at odds in the beginning, a kind fate brings them fatally together as companions.
Here the supporting characters also performed quite well, I noticed them here. Everyone had a personality and a task.
The story revealed people's most secret desires in a rather cruel way: money, power, greed, cruelty, trauma, revenge as a motive... here I even felt sorry for the killer, who had motives, so to speak, why they did what they did. ..
Brilliant shots and introduction... flashbacks to the past that answer some questions about the characters' behavior and their current situation....
However, this show is not perfect either... there are plot holes that need to be resolved...
The ending was a bit rushed, but I liked the hug between the two companions... but somehow it felt like this was the last meeting... a kind of farewell from Chi Zhen.
By the way, there is a lot of character development on both sides, I liked Zhen's outbursts, Lu Li's impulsive but vulnerable character
If there is no second season, I would definitely say that Chi Zhen is dead, but... you know... will that ever happen... it's been 5 years since then... I'll add that I just saw the series, and yes, I am waiting for answers to a few questions...
No matter how you look at it, Lu Li's wife is a murderer, regardless of what she did for...but I could understand a little...what she went through...but I wonder how they live after that...
Oh, and Lu Li's father? I have a feeling that he is innocent... I have a kind of dejavu feeling from another series: an innocent man is in prison...
What about Chi Zhen... is he alive and reunited with Lu Li?
I have many questions waiting to be answered in a possible second season...
