Who is the Killer? You Won't Care.

This drama is one set to give us suspense and mystery in an apartment complex surrounding the death of actress FL (Jia Qing aka Zhou Yun Qi).

ML (Xiao Shun Yao aka Detective Zhao Shang) and Cui Shan He are the first on the scene of the actress death. After reviewing, those who knew Zhou Yun Qi they narrowed the suspects to six individual who lived in the complex and who all personally knew her.

Suspect list:

Hu Jun aka Li Xu Dong: Knew Zhou Yun Qi since childhood due to him being the reason her father was in the hospital which led him to serve time in jail. Once his time was served, he opened up a restaurant and later a bar and made amends for his misdeed by giving money to Zhou Yun Qi and her mother. Zhou Yun Qi professed her love to Li Xu Dong but was rejected. Leng Mei Zhen also knew him through Zhou Yun Qi since high school.

Wang Da Qi aka Wang Lei: Private driver to Zhou Yun Qi. He had no love interest in her but always wanted the best for her. His girlfriend was Chen Jia Jia. She was having an affair with Leng Mei Zhen’s boyfriend Chen Zang.

Zheng Jia Bin aka Chen Zang: Boxing coach and personal coach to Zhou Yun Qi. He was also the boyfriend of Leng Mei Zhen. One of the prime suspects of killing her.

Qian Xiao Ming: Gamer who was a friend of Li Xu Dong who gave him his alibi. He also was a friend of Leng Mei Zhen.

He Du Juan aka Leng Mei Zhen: Bestie since high school of Zhou Yun Qi. She had some connection to everyone in the apartment complex.

Jiang Fang Ting aka Chen Jia Jia: Girlfriend of Wang Lei and who had an affair with Chen Zang. Confronted Leng Mei Zhen about her affair with Chen Zang.

As you can see by the list that all connections lead to Leng Mei Zhen who was the catalyst surrounding Zhou Yun Qi death as well as Li Qi, psychiatrist to Leng Mei Zhen and Detective Zhao Shang.

You are led through all the lives of each of the individual who live in the complex and how all of their lives intertwined with Zhou Yun Qi. Each had a motive. But who really did it and why? Was it one person? Several people?

At first, you are intrigued, but as the drama moved on you are less and less involved because some things are so obvious you begin to lose interest but also some characters go missing for a time, you forget about them. Just like this drama will be forgetful to you. When the ending comes you are pretty much left empty and why a drama that gave you a good start and cast, fell flat.
