I have a hard time giving up movies/series, but this one was too hard for me to continue.

I've seen more than enough (20 episodes) and I don't have the patience to watch more, even though I like both actors. A terribly weak script, with far too many clichés and absolutely annoying stuff.The phone rings EVERY TIME they want to express something. He stops giving her flowers, just because her wish for the future is related to her job.I really couldn't resist watching these nonsensical scenes appear repeatedly in the series.I really liked the chemistry between them and, of course, the love that blossomed. However, it really annoyed me that, although they had held hands and even kissed, in the next scene they had completely forgotten that there was anything between them, and they became strangers again.I heroically endured 20 episodes, so I'll give the series a 6, because it's a very weak one.

The editing

The drama gets more interesting as it goes. There's only one thing I'd like to point out, which is the editing in this episode. It's a bit - I dunno - needs better editing...

Who’s the real coroner?

The husband to be isn’t acting all that shook up that his bride is dead. He is not even revolted at a headless corpse. There is something off with him. Other than the one carriage bearer and the grand princess’ reaction, everyone else is more in the ‘assess damages and keep it under wraps mode’. The officials in charge are inept and rather proud of it.😝Shen Wan meets her friend’s ex fiancé and can only be relieved the engagement was called off. She assures him that he was raised with all the qualifications of a girl, and that they can feel free to continue on with the belief that there is no engagement between them😂 He is summarily dismissed when Prince Chi then takes over. He quietly watches her actions and has his guards intervene to be sure that evidence isn’t trashed. When meeting the official, it is discovered that he ignores coroner’s reports and has no idea how to perform an autopsy, neither does the one who wrote the report. Shen Wan then examines the dead body there and reveals the real reason he died and how to find the murder weapon. She is calmly detailing the facts to write down while the two ‘experienced’ officials are outside barfing their guts out😝😂 The prince steps in to assist when it is clear she is the only competent one in the room. When she mentions her father’s writings the official reminds her that he was accused and family executed so why familiar and recommending them? The one good thing of all this is she is now placed to handle the autopsy of the headless bride with the blessings of the officials. They are more than happy to have her do the work while they look good on paper.😝 The prince is having her family and Qin Wan investigated because he too wants to find the truth of the matter. Her comments have him looking into the writings of her father as well so that he can get a bead on the thoughts of the man accused of colluding with Prince Jin to commit murder. He agrees with Shen Wan that things aren’t lining up and they each want the truth out and the accused cleared, she her family, he Prince Jin. The scene is set for this to get investigated from both sides. The Grand Princess is overwrought with grief and collapses at the end of the scene. The story is entertaining and nicely paced but I find many of the actors overacting for emotional emphasis. The leads are doing nicely and now seeing how things go with the unfortunate bride.

WOW

This is another brilliant episode. The close up shots during autopsy scenes are realistic.. I love the collaboration between the two main leads and the trust they have (although they don't show). Most importantly, he's fallen for her and I'm sure he's so proud of Wan'er!

New life new name

The story begins with a family running to dock. They are being chased by guards and the parents sacrifice themselves so their daughter can escape. Her father has left her a note to not return to the capital. She of course, is determined to head back and clear her family’s name. The friend helping them was also killed and his daughter had died. Since his family didn’t know about her death and hadn’t really seen her, Shen Wan assumes her identity to get back to the capital and find evidence about what happened. Her father is accused of colluding with Prince Jin to kill consort Jin and his family ordered to be executed. While the friend was a good man and obviously loved Shen Wan like a daughter, his family, not so much. His last act of protection was to have his daughter’s servant be her companion. When they arrive, the family is less than pleased to meet her. The gals seem vain and status climbers while the son was more interested in his crickets. There is one kinder granddaughter that tries to soften the punishments and the grandson seems intelligent. But it is clear none of them want their cousin there. After being literally locked in for a long time Qin Wan is allowed out. While wandering around market she sees an older woman collapsed and with the absence of doctor around she assists with follow-up treatment and script. She then goes on her way. Later she and family find out they have assisted the princess. The granddaughter shows up wanting to thank the person who helped her grandmother. I like how she comes out ‘as is’ refusing to put on an appearance for their guest. She finds herself invited to follow up her treatment with Princess and her family is left at home where they belong. En route there is a fight in the street and it is handled by a visiting soldier. Turns out he is related to the princess and they all end up meeting. The women in this household are martial artists so coming home is like Green Hornet /Kato scene with skills being tested. 😂 Shen Wan is not quite sure what she thinks of this group but their meeting definitely improves her living situation. Her ‘family’ is now invested in buttering her up so that they can be included meeting the royals. The servant is very happy but Shen Wan reminds her that this isn’t her home or inheritance just a steppingstone to find out the truth about her parents. She is invited by the princess to attend a wedding and is introduced to her first case. A headless bride arrives to the scene.

Qin Wan's send off for Miss Song was extremely well done. Respectful and considerate, Qin Wan gave Miss Song her identity back.

Can I just say that scene with the 3 girls was absolutely adorable?? Just a moment of actual fun in the midst of case solving.

I am enjoying Qin Wan's scenes so much during these autopsies. She is focused and intense and clearly knows what she is doing.

They really threw us right in! Qin Wan shows up exactly what she is capable of and more. Yan Chi's curiosity about her is delightful.

Super fast paced episode 1 with a lot of introduction with a shocking twist as the end. Amazing acting from Li Landi.

will be the odd one out, but i think Dee is a better fit with Guy (who has been crushing on him since forever), & him talking about parallels universes & all that b.s.... is just cause he isn't the main or even the 2nd lead, so he doesn't even get any consideration. logically if ur crush is finally single & there isn't anyone he is interested in, wont u finally seize the opportunity to confess?? even if u r rejected it's not like ur in school together, where u have to see each other & hit or miss, at least u tried. here he gave up without even trying - ridiculous writing. ***************************************************************************same with making Dee into the supposed male doppelganger to Knight's ex. so what, he attracted to Dee cause he reminds Knight of his gf?!? this flattering to whom??? Dee is a replacement to the real thing, he couldn't have??? **************************& then we get that weird ass plot with the straight couple where Veve's genius idea to find out if Songthee really has a crush on her (& the interns weren't pulling her leg) is to introduce him to her supposed bf? this supposed to make him confess?!? in this universe it works - like come on

read comments saying the leads don't have…

read comments saying the leads don't have chemistry - i beg to differ. its the plot & the directing - cause what they do have is chemistry. but the back & forth with Knight's behavior isn't understandable & him saying Dee reminded him of his ex was b.s. cause if that was actually the case, he would've reacted to him (in shock) when he drove him in the 1st ep. but other then asking about what perfume he was wearing & then getting effected when Dee got closer to him, offering himself so Knight can get close & smell him.... there was no reaction. so i don't buy Knight's hot & cold act.

A good start

I really like how the story panned out, and the way the male lead and female lead are portrayed. The female lead doesn't beat around the bush and has a straight-forward personality, but doesn't charge forward without a thorough plan in the name of justice. (or whatever a FL is expected to do). Whereas, the male lead is a reliable person who sticks to his rules and obligations, but also has an open mind and kind heart. Plus, they're both smart.

The plot and its execution is quite well done.

The plot and its execution is quite well done. The ending song is very beautiful. The direction and acting is straightforward and well-done. There is emphasis on good character and the inherent justice in the world despite the challenges that may look to the contrary on the surface. The costume design is also very impressive.
