Before watching this drama, I have not watched dramas with crime, suspense or thrillers often. This was also the first time I watched this genre of dramas produced by China.

So I will just say my opinions based on my little experience with Chinese crime, suspense dramas.

You keep wondering who the murderer is throughout the drama. The suspense was there, heightened by the music, dim lights (actually, I wonder why the houses in China all look so dim inside with creepy rooms and corners), the characters' behaviors and body language, all the various clues discovered here and there, etc. So much so that you start suspecting almost every possible character in the drama, but the ending was a little different from what I expected after all the suspense, as one reviewer pointed out, not mind-blowing, didn't go, what? it was him/her (all this while)??!! I just went, ok, this was the murderer, hmm.

Nevertheless, the drama is good overall, it is not slow-paced, because new clues are discovered almost every episode so you will not feel bored, new clues only draw you nearer and nearer to the identity of the murderer and this makes you want to keep watching the next episode and the next, although there are some illogical acting (like how could one person still walk normally after being stabbed several times and then instantly fell flat on the ground after one shot on the leg?), but these can still be overlooked if you look at the drama as a whole. The acting of the main leads is good, especially Zhao Li Ying. You see a different her here. And each episode is about 36 mins on average, so it is good if you do not want to sit down for too long. The music is good, bring out the suspense, the ending is wrapped up well, loose knots tied.

All in all, I still enjoyed this drama, though I will not consider this a super good suspense crime drama.
