it's my first time writing review. i am also not very fluent in english, so forgive me if there is any mistake.

i love ''the Sleuth of Ming Dynasty'' very much. i recomend all of you watching this drama. at first i am not interested to this drama, i just trying to watch because i have not anything to do during covid-19 quarantine. after i watch this drama, it become the best drama i ever seen. i think all things in this drama are perfect :)

1. DRAMA's PLOT
the plot is really interesting. this story not just about investigation, but also about friendship, family which is really funny, touching and suprising. i finished watching all episodes an it was amazing :D
there is no BL (boy's love) story in this drama although this drama based on BL novel. so if you looking for BL it not suitable for you.

2. DRAMA's CAST
i love all character in this drama, especially
the male leads (tang fan, sui zhou, wang zi).although they have different character, but they really look so good together in one frame. all the other cast also act really good and complete each other (there is no unimportant role in this drama).
let's talk about three male lead one by one :

a). Darren chen as Tang fan/ Runching
although it's the first time darren chen play role in costume drama or historical drama, but he did very great job. then the character i love the most in this drama is tang fan.
the drama story shows he is very smart officer. he can solve many difficult cases, but he is very weak, noisy, lazy and just love eating food. but actually he is really wise, kind heart, gentle, and always caring about other than himself, even just a stranger. he awalys care and treat his friend (guangchuan, dong er, wang zhi, doerla, wuyun, doctor pei) sincerely like his own family. it makes many peoples being comfortable around him and trust him.
Just watch the drama and you definitely will love tang fan character to :)

b). Fu meng bo as Sui zhou/Guangchuan
i never seing his acting before, but he did a great job in this drama. i also love sui zhou character.
at first Sui zhou is very strong, wise, seriuous, quite and cold officer, but slowly he become warm heart after meet tang fan and dong er. he always treating tang fan and dong er like his own family and always trying protect them. Tang fan also make him forget his trauma in the past and forget his hatred to oirat people. so he finally being friend with doerla and wuyun.

c). Lui you yuan as Wang zhi
Altough ''the Sleuth of Ming Dynasty' is his first drama, but he act very well. he didn't look like rookie. and i love wang zhi chacacter also.
wang zhi is very mysterious character than two other male lead, i don't know what in his thought sometimes. he is very tight officer. he often used violence to defendant to solve the case. it because he is very loyal to ming dynasty, emperor and consort wan. but actually deep in his heart he also care about his friend like tang fan, sui zhou, dong er (especially tang fan). he also become kind heart after knowing tang fan.

3. CINEMATOGRAPHY
the cinematography of this drama are really awesome. fighting or action scene are look so real. the cooking scene always looks so yummy and make me feel hungry. dinner/breakfast together time scene always make me feel the warmth of family :)

4. DRAMA's PROPERTY and COSTUME
All property in this drama is really awesome and detail, such as the martial art tools, medical tools, books, all the palace things ect. i also love all costume in this drama that really suitable to each cast.
