What I like the most about this movie is that it did not portray the work of an undercover agent as cool as other movies and dramas do. This movie showed the life of agents quite realistically, and how dangerous their line of work is. One little mistake can end their life. And I liked how it also tells about their mental state. The characters' played by the agents affect them psychologically. For that, they also have to check their status with psychiatrists. I'm glad that this movie also included it.
I liked the acting, especially Tony Leung's. He has his charms. The cinematography was good.
The movie kept me on edge till the end. I really liked it.
And about the ending, I hated it with a burning passion.

This drama is quite different from the other crime investigation drama (at least for me). It's from the perspective of a criminal sketch artist and how he sees and analyses the cases. It was interesting. And not to mention, that it gave quite a heartfelt moment. The acting and cinematography were perfect. Only the plot felt a bit lacking.
Acting 10/10
Cinematography 10/10
OST 10/10
Chemistry 10/10 (The chemistry between Shen Yi and Du Cheng was seriously so good.)
Episode 16-18 made me so nervous. I felt like I was more anxious than the characters 😂
Overall, this is a very good drama. I'll rewatch it someday.

The acting is top-notch. The actors did a great job, specially the two main leads Jackson Yee and Zhou Dong Yu. I loved the cinematography.
I highly recommend people to read the book this movie is adapted from "The youthful you who was so beautiful" by Jiu Yue Xi.
