I did not know what to expect when I chanced upon this show (because of Bai Lu) and decided to go for it (also because of Bai Lu). I'm glad I gave it a chance and I'd like to urge viewers to watch this well-made drama too. I generously give it a 10/10 because it is a solid and spectacular production with top-notch acting from every single cast member.

What I Liked A Lot:
- The cast was "da-bomb". Everyone acted so well. I thought that the casting was excellent and appropriate too. Everyone fitted his or her role well and everyone delivered spectacularly. No one outshone the others and everyone had his or her moment to shine. Wang Shou Yi delivered remarkably. When he went on leave for two days in the drama, his absence was greatly felt and even I, the audience, felt incredibly relieved when he returned to work. I must applaud every single actor and actress in this drama. Truly, they were so real. I believed them 100%. There was no disconnect.
- The development of all the characters was great. For instance, the rookie police officers were like diamonds in the rough but they became much more polished and mature at the end of the drama in which one year had passed. The development felt real and was well-paced.
- There was plenty of suspense. I wanted to know what had happened and what would happen. I also liked that each "open" case got its "closure".
- In general, everything in the drama was tied up nicely and explained nicely.

Hmm, TBH, there wasn't much that I disliked... just those annoying minor characters like the family who harassed the couple and their little son; the obsessive helicopter parent in the form of the ridiculous and senseless female doctor; the horrible parents who neglected their parental duties and still expected filial piety; Zhou Hui's crazy mother who had to re-examine her values; Xia Jie's paranoid and crazy mother who needed therapy...

Nonetheless, the cases were all very real and showcased the unpleasant side of society and the scumbags. I guess we have to look at these terrible cases and awful people to know what NOT to follow.

Additionally, I was devastated when Cao Jian Jun committed that most senseless crime. He just wanted to do more and be an admirable person whom others could look up to. In the end, even after Wang Shou Yi told him to move on and lead another good "non-police" life, he continued to be a "police officer" and he eventually died while protecting a comrade. It was most tragic and I felt devastated for his wonderful wife, Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui stuck with him through thick and thin and she never once despised him. She was model wife with a sincere heart for him. I also felt devastated when the doctor fellow died in a senseless killing. (le sigh... the pain and the tears)

I highly recommend this drama to viewers, especially to those who aren't looking for romance. It is an excellent production!! It is fast-paced, touching, suspenseful and just simply drama at its very best!!
