Firstly,the casting of the characters for the respective roles in the drama was apt and perfect.Kudos to the casting director/team.The story was good in terms of the cases and the investigation processes. The disappointing part about the show is the way in which Zhan Yao protects Zhao Jue and casually converses with him despite knowing how many people he has killed and the extent of his deviousness.In fact he is more kind to and speaks more nicely with him than with Bai YuTong.
Bai Yu Tong is really protective of Zhan Yao and even in the middle of being in the battle field or dangerous missions looks out for him at the same time balancing his responsibility towards his duty exceptionally well. Any one messing with or hurting Zhan Yao will never find favor with him. On the other hand Zhan Yao knows that Zhao Jue hates Bai Yu Tong and would go to the extent of hurting him yet he continues his increasing bond with him.Zhan Yao's attitude towards Bai Yu Tong who is concerned for him is actually hurtful.He snaps at and rants at Bai YoTong even when he is being concerned for him. The friendship in the show is one-sided on Bai YuTong's part. All Zhan Yao cares about is proving his superior brain power, analytical and physiological skills and Zhan Jue. With a colleague/friend like him Bai YuTong doesn't need an enemy.
There are no actual bromance scenes/parts as such as seen in Guardian' or Killer and Healer'. Infact they describe and refer to each other as colleagues. Any friendship scenes arise out of care,love and concern on Bai YuTong's part.His loyalty to Zhan Yao is absolute.
All the other team members including the forensic doctor are great and their dedication towards their duty is commendable. Also they respect and are absolutely loyal towards Bai YuTong. They are a great and exceptional set of team members with each having their own set of skills and unlike Zhan Yao the deputy team leader none of them bonds with or is obsessed with a devious person like Zhao Jue.

Simple,intruiguing plotline.Has elements of suspense and surprise.
The plot is suspenseful and keeps one guessing.There are 2 cases and both of them are intriguing and engaging.What is disappointing is the ending.Not of how the mystery and the truth about what had actually happened and how the case truths were revealed. That was well brought out.
What was a let down was how Fu Yao Yao was able to get away with how much those three civilians had to go through to save themselves because of her blatant misuse of her position as the lead captain and public resources.Those three had to go through so much additional hardships even after the rescue team reached the site only and only because of her actions. She had in the initial episode asked Jiang Zuo An to stay away from the the investigation of that case since the actor victim was known to him. Then what about what she did during the second case. She kept snapping at anyone who tired to point out any facts regarding Zhong Shen Gao. What enpowers her to continue in her position and use public resources to ensure that her love interest and friend Zhong Shen Gao kept getting away with criminal acts. She should have at the least been shown to have been suspended and losing her rank. Being the lead does not enpower her to get away with everything. If it was not for Jiang Zuo An and the rest of the team who handled everything Zhong Shen Gao would have goten away scott free.

The casting of the various characters in the drama was perfect. The casting director/team has done a commendable job.The drama was really good and did well until episode 24.In this episode Jiang Yue Lou learns about Chen Yu Zhi's death after being shot by him.He apparently is feeling guilty and is appearing to be sad while drinking .In the resulting scenes talking aloud by himself he says that he wouldn't let Yu Zhi die in vain and that after everything was over he would go find him to 'apologize'. Is he serious. This is actually quite selfish and inhuman of him. So he will make undercover plans with his superior and use an innocent civilian to prove himself for it and when the person dies he thinks he can get away with it by just an apology. That was blatant misuse of his position.So if Yu Zhi had really died Jiang planned to just say a sorry at his grave and carry on normally with his life and his promoted position in his job happily ? He would have enjoyed a marriage with Chu Ran and lived like an innocent and upright officer. What a selfish and conceited person .He should have thought to turn himself in after the completion of the mission and to accept legal punishment by law. He was shown as a righteous cop until then.But this ruined everything. Did he really think that he should have gotten away with what he had done.
At the end actually it was he who deserved to die and not Chen Yu Zhi. But alas the good ones die early and wicked and evil people like Jiang Yue Lou outlive everyone.
