Miss Truth (2020)

Best romance-mystery period drama I've watched

Coming from a rewatch, I love this drama just as much the second time as the first.

First watch impression: I loooved the love triangle in this one. The romance is shown rather than told and the actions really add to the depth of the feeling between the ML and FL. I loved how their personalities remained consistent, some may find FL too straightforward/stubborn/frank, but I loved that. And Xiao Song (Merman Song) is everything I need in a man. Smart, capable, cheeky, grounded, unceasing in his efforts to protect Ran Yan. All in all, a perfect match.

Su Fu is . . . well, he does a lot of the saving physically, but Xiao Song does it also on an emotional level.

Second watch impression: Bai yi is awesome. I really wish the relationship between he and Sang Chen could have been explored more because I get such lovely BL vibes there, one (Sang Chen) being the clueless one. I know, censorship, blah... but it in my mind they'd make a lovely match.

Summing up: hugely recommend the watch if you like smart leads and acts of service in your romance.

Overall story was good

Enjoyed watching this mystery/romance. It was a nice twist to see a female coroner in that time period which I'm sure was unheard of. This was the first time that I saw a love triangle where it was hard to decide between the two leads. I found myself bouncing back and forth between the two. But in many ways, I almost wished that she ended up with the assassin because I think the actress had better chemistry as far as the romance with the other actor. I also enjoyed watching the various other cases get solved throughout the series. It really was like watching a detective show as they solved each case. I also liked the side characters like the FL's made and the ML's assistant. They were devoted to them and it showed throughout the series. A fun series for anyone who wants to watch a show that's not just a romance, but has a bit of mystery, action, and even a little danger in it.

Poor acting but strong story line

Ok, this review is mostly on the FL. I had a HARD time trying to see her as the FL. The female voice actress sounded better than her acting. She might be kind of smart at solving crimes but that is about it. I don't see nor feel the romance between her and the ML because she spent 34 episodes thinking and caring about the 2nd ML. Honesty once she realized that she " loved" the ML, she still stabbed him in the back multiple times then get mad and upset when he didn't treat her like a princess. There are no emotion at all when she's expressing her emotions. Personally speaking she was playing with both male's emotions and acted all innocent and pure when she did something wrong.

If you want to watch a drama about solving crimes, then this is the drama. It is very entertaining and catchy. If you want a crime solving romantic drama, this is NOT it. The ML was great the entire drama but the FL was getting more and more annoying near the last couple episodes. Alot of alligator tears after betraying the ML and him not wanting to be near her.? Honestly wish the FL was someone that has better acting skills.

I really don't like to watch coroner drama's for sure. This one was not too bad. I loved the main lead Actress Zhou Jie Qiong who played the character Ran Yan. Another strong role that I really like in these dramas. This was another CDrama that had the competition of romance between 3 men and one woman. That was crazy. The martial arts were great. The visuals, I loved. The costumes were not all that, I mean tell me how a coroner's uniform looks good? I loved how the writers made each competitor act for the 3 males. You would have to see it to know what I mean. Toby Lee, the main lead, played the character of Xiao Song, wow! loved him. Tim Pei, the main, who played the character of Su Fu, the muscles tho! Thank you to everyone who made this CDrama possible.
