Dark Night Walker: people who walks in the Dark

took me a few days to write this review as I don't even know where to begin with----
Day Breaker is a 24-episode brain-burning drama filled with characters with multiple identities that can be highly fictional yet human in a fictional Hua city suffering from DRUGs pollution.

I could best describe this drama as "what you are seeing is not the truth but it is also the truth" as all these characters hinted their true self in disguise which makes you crazy about "who is who".
(spoiler:) everyone is who you think they are in your mind -:- everyone is equally bad and good in their own way, one of my biggest appreciation is how the writer makes us question good and bad while ending up making them in between good and bad. most characters have a reason for everything they do and who they are, which makes each closure of most characters a pitiful and deep one(excluding the characters' closure of ep 23-24)

Li Yi Feng, Stephen Fung, Samuel Gu Bin, and Gong Hai Bin did a very good job portraying their characters as the leading men, this is also liyifeng good reputation resurrection this year!
Song Yi my beautiful woman also did a very good job portraying her character even though it is a pity she had little screen time and her character wasn't used to max despite it having so much great potential (i guess male-centric drama things!) but it wasn't extremely bad (could have been better).

yeah I know it is a crime drama but I hate how the chemistry between Li Yi Feng and Song Yi characters wasn't used. so many emotions, and affections that they just couldn't justify
and I also dislike how Chen Mo/ Luo Xiang is written in a way he wouldn't have any real emotional feelings/attachment toward people, that is quite too fictional for my liking

although I should have rated this 8.0 because the ending made me angry, I just think 8.5 is good because I had an interesting and fun ride watching this drama
I definitely recommend this drama it is among the good crime dramas out there, especially in the police/drugs suspense genre.

do know that this drama is in no way perfect as it has its flaws but those flaws couldn't stop this drama from being enjoyable and good!

Day Breaker definitely lighted on this year!
