2020 Hidden Gem
I watched this drama not knowing what to expect but i finished this drama with so much surprises, feeling a little anguish, a little relief and bucket loads of tears. It hit me right at the heart and gut. Dont be taken aback with my introductory explanation as you are in for a thrilling ride and you will not regret it. Even though it is a murder mystery/crime thriller, the way the plot twist and unravel will keep you on the edge of your seat. One of the winning points of this drama was how they tackle the subject of domestic violence ,abusive relationships, the impact of staying on in a toxic relationship with a narcissist and the prejudices against women even in our modern society. I like how they showed these through the development of the plot and subtlety weaves in these messages without becoming overtly preaching. Why i was overwhelmed with emotions as i watched this drama was the fact that most of the characters feature in this show is so real, tragic victim's like Zhong Mei Bao n her mom happens in real life and scumbags like Yan Yong Yuan existed in this world. By the time the drama draws down its final curtain i cant hold back my tears as it was such a bittersweet ending, it ain't a fairytale ending but it fits the drama & it ends with such a powerful message that amidst the darkness having a glimmer of light makes a lot of difference.
