hit-and-miss but still okay drama

Story is exactly like the synopsis given by mdl
Ml is Duke as well as chief of inspector office who suffer from face blindness but this don't stop him to catch criminals (since one sences deteriorate other enhance ) plus he is smart and intelligent.
FL is traveling doctor also suffer from strange condition that every full moon for some strange reason she start menstruation which lead to body change or transform ( throughout the series she change 10 times into different people of all age and gender ,director use all popular actors for all transform nd they did a good job 👍

beside them there are many other characters some are interesting some are normal all respective actors did their part of role as it was written (nothing special),(*I like ml mother character she is cute some may found her annoying but 4me she is fun her childish annoying reaction were total fun 4me ).

On acting - all actor did the normal job (just one point that I watch Ryan cheng the actor who play shang bieli other dramas his is a decent actor but for some reason I found his acting weak in this drama at some point his is okay🤤 nd some point I was like what he is doing nd why he is doing like that 🤔(surely nobody gonna get any award for this seies in this department or any other😋).
as for dialogue delivery nd all I'm foreigners so this doesn't bother me.

OST I don't understand language so for me music rhythm sound and some time English translate lyrics speaks louder, if I found myself hum the tune I like it, if it I don't I don't, doesn't make ost poor( judge yourself).

production value wise this drama was good they did spend money equally wisely
cinematography, color grading, overall tone, camera angle, lighting, set designing, costume, hair- makeup, sound and music, martial art fighting sequence where all good ( personally I don't have any issues , I even like all the fighting sequence ).
okay there that's it I don't have any issues in any other departments.

so let now start with why I say hit-and -miss
and credit goes to half hearted written story (contain spoiler*)
I mean overall story was not poor it's interesting but what worng with female lead condition atleast give it proper explanation director or story
writer change her condition according to their will without any explanation at first she change every full moon but later she start transforming irregular maybe as story need but atleast if they add an angle which solve the reason why the irregularities occur it be better {surely marriage or their love relationship isn't the reason or it is(if it is is poorly written)}
; second too the end director decide to mention mystery toward female lead condition if she got cured or not {it's like she will know, whenever it happen, if it happens (whatever🥴)} atleast they show male lead got cured miraculously.
; third last few episodes they were drag totally unnecessary especially fl mother death arch and later she surrender herself I found it so so boring it was all useless and unnecessary. ( I surely like the end of how ml found her and recognise her) but before the court fight catching the actually mastermind the detour the story take was boring and unnecessary yes they explained the fl and ml connection but overall no need of other things (killing) expect that.

I guess few less episodes won't bother anyone
or they can focus more on fl irregularities and give more proper explanation ( than love or marriage).


so this is it, my review end here hope it helps other and doesn't hurt any overally enthusiastic fan emotions.
rewatch value depends only on drama fans and drama watchers weird taste(actors fans have many other better options).


goodbye tada 🙏
have a nice day
