So I was very skeptical when starting this drama because I had seen it's trailer and although it wasn't bad, it also didn't leave much to the imagination. At last I watched it since it has like 6 episodes of 40 mins. each (which seemed reasonable since I had watched other 50 eps long series before). So I picked it up and was surprised to find it quiet entertaining.
This is the first drama of Jasper Liu that I have watched. I had browsed his other dramas before but none of the plotlines seemed interesting enough. Regardless his acting is on point and his chemistry with Eugenie is perfect. I have seen Eugenie's previous drama behind your smile where she plays a naive, rich girl that fell from grace which is the complete opposite of her role here. I loved her portrayal of a Triad princess. The fight sequences were awesome and her whole persona stole the show.
The only disappointment was that there were no action sequences with the two MLs together which seemed essential to me somehow (they had long talks and she was mostly fangirling which took away from her badass gangster vibe).
The side stories were not overly engaging but I didn't really mind it either. Some of the side characters were actually very funny.
All in all it was a good enough series to watch. Also based on that ending I think there will be a season 2. Lets see....
