Although the premise of this "Bureau Of Transformer" might remind many of you of the "Men In Black" franchise, believe me, the two couldn't be more different: whereas that one was the typically shallow and silly Hollywood production featuring Americans saving the day by shooting down everything that moves (all while throwing around equally shallow and silly lines, which the audience is programmed to find "cool" - but let's not delve too deep in there), this one instead is a profound, thought-provoking tale filled with humane characters and poetic scenes.
Why don't I rate it higher, then?
Well, in all honesty, the subs are a bit of a hit or miss (some episodes are well done, but some are of rather poor quality, to the point that several lines are barely comprehensible, unfortunately) and this, alas, hinders a bit the viewing pleasure. And the same can be said of the script: some episodes are little masterpieces, seriously...but others are just "meh". Generally speaking, I mostly found the last third of the series to be of lower quality, compared to the previous two thirds (and also a bit too dark and depressing - whereas one of the strong points of this drama had been, until there, its humor).
The cast did a very good job, with honorable mentions for Chen He among the main cast, and Charlene Chen and Maggie Lee among the guests.
The music is top-notch, and so are direction, photography and editing.
Not *absolutely* perfect, but still very enjoyable. 8/10
