Sharing My Thoughts on This Drama

This is my first review, and I wanted to share my experience with this drama. It contains some spoilers, but I’ll try to avoid them as much as possible.

The acting is undoubtedly one of the highlights. The cast did an amazing job, the CGI was well-executed, and the story started off with great promise. Special mention goes to Li Mo and the Guard, who, in my opinion, were the best characters in the series.

The initial premise was also captivating: the protagonists (ML and FL) lost their parents to murder during their childhood and reunite 10 years later. While the ML seeks revenge, the FL lives a peaceful life, unaware of the truth because she has lost her memory. This setup was intriguing and well-developed—at least in the beginning.

However, as the episodes progressed, the storyline started to lose its way. Many nonsensical events unfolded, especially toward the end, where the plot completely fell apart and became a chaotic mess. The narrative boiled down to an endless pursuit of the criminal mastermind, only to reveal that they were taking orders from someone else, who in turn was following instructions from yet another person. This made the story feel repetitive and overly complicated.

Another issue was the character Hua Li. She was rescued during a pivotal criminal case and then pretended to be the ML’s childhood friend. This narrative choice felt questionable—why couldn’t this part of the story have been given to a different character? It would have made more sense. The way Hua Li was introduced felt forced, especially since her encounter with the main characters was supposedly pre-planned by someone. Given the circumstances, such planning seemed impossible. Furthermore, Hua Li’s critical role in the finale only added to the confusion. Dividing her role between two characters might have been a more logical decision.

The final episodes were a complete disaster. The story veered off track entirely, and it felt like I was watching a different drama. I was deeply engaged during the first half, but I continued watching the second half only to finish it. The disappointment was significant.

Despite its strengths—such as the acting, the OST, the CGI, and the promising start—the script ultimately failed to maintain its quality until the end. This undermined the overall experience.

Unfortunately, I don’t recommend this drama. Normally, I’m not overly critical of storylines, acting, or CGI; I simply enjoy watching and appreciating. But in this case, the disappointment was so great that I felt compelled to share my thoughts.
