Decided to try this drama after seeing its super high rating on Douban. I usually take Douban's ratings with a grain of salt since it could be skewed, so I went into this drama with skepticism and low expectations. And to my lovely surprise, this drama surprised me with good things!

It's a pretty fast paced and suspenseful drama that keeps you guessing on what's going to happen next. They edited it super smoothly to intertwine flashbacks from the year 2000 and 2003 with the present timeline (year 2010) to show three different perspectives from Detective Yan Liang, Prosecutor Jiang Yang, and Hou Gui Ping. The truth revealed at the end will definitely shock you and break your heart :'(

Every leading actor does an amazing job that leaves me with absolutely no complaints. Bai Yu got me bawling at one certain scene too and his acting overall got my heart hurting. I am so glad the production team managed to cast him as Jiang Yang. The friendship between Jiang Yang, Zhu Wei, and the forensic doctor guy is really touching. The music is also very good, creating suspense in all the right scenes.

I have to give a warning though- there will be many frustrating moments when the bad guys play dirty. The ending was a little bittersweet in my opinion. After all... the good guys (Jiang Yang and Zhu Wei especially) had to sacrifice so, so much to reveal the truth and get justice.

Do give this a shot if you love crime dramas!
