A true gem! A delight from beginning to end.

I have watched my fair share of c-dramas, and this is one of the best ones I've seen in a long long time. It is funny, smart and the characters are well developed and acted.

This is a story about a coroner who travels to the capital to get her coroner license. There she meets a brilliant prince that runs the criminal investigative team (I guess ancient Chinese version of FBI). Together they solve murders and cases, which all chain together to form an overall arch.

I want to give a hand to the screenwriters of this drama, there was clearly a lot of thought and effort put into plot, after finishing the entire series, I can really appreciate the planning that must have been involved in developing each case. In a day and age where plots can get draggy with lots of filler episodes, I really appreciate how this drama had zero fillers. Each case had a purpose, each character had a reason to be there. The story moves at pretty fast past, and I really enjoyed trying to solve the mysteries along with the main characters. And at the end of the series, I was left very satisfied with the outcome and I think you will be too. My only hope is they do a second season, I would love to see the gang back together again.

The characters were also great. It's so refreshing that each of the main characters were smart. They each were experts in their own domain, but at the same time respected and trusted their friends to ask for help when they need it. Misunderstandings are kept to a minimal, and more importantly seeing the strong bond between Chu chu, Jin Yu, Leng Yue, Jing Yi and Jing Li was so nice. No jealously ruining friendships here! In particular I loved seeing Jing Li and Jing Yu together, seeing Jing Li fuss over Jing Yu like a mother hen always brings a smile to my face. Also, rarely do I appreciate the bad guys in a drama, but in this drama I can appreciate them. Their motivations Even the evil characters, you can see the motivation behind their actions and their

If you are looking for a drama that'll make you laugh, make you think, warm your heart and entertain you, this is it! Highly recommend!
