Nice crime solving mini-show with lots of magic

This is a nice lighthearted mini-show. The storyline is mostly crime solving and the art of magic. In that way it’s quite unique. Sadly the subs were pretty bad so a lot of the dialogue and thereby explanations were nonsensical. Sometimes the scenes made sense even without good subs but often they didn’t and I guess I might have missed a few points along the way. What a pity.
Character wise:
FL is street smart and cunning. A rare kind of FL that I actually like. She is too childish for my linking but her abilities make up for that.
ML is clever and observant. He might be a little stiff but his ability to solve crimes is great.
Acting wise this is a good show. I did find that FL was a bit over the top perky but Chinese shows love to make FL perky and childish in order to be “cute”.
So, if you like crime solving and magic, this is actually worth watching.
