rambly thoughts + such a dark horse drama!

Serious review: man... this is honestly my favorite drama that's come out in the past three-four years. I really didn't expect it because it wasn't pushed by IQIYI as a big IP/hot drama, but picking this up was honestly one of the best choices I've made when watching cdramas! As someone who LOVES mystery dramas with a large cast, this really hits the mark with its tight storytelling, great pacing, and lovable characters. The cases take around 3-4 episodes each, giving the writers enough time to not only flesh out the case but also how our Scooby-doo gang is connected or affected by each case. You learn more and more about each character through the cases, which is a rare thing to have BOTH character development and a great mystery in dramas these days. The production, costume and set design, the dialogue, all of it is soo beautiful and easy on the eyes, making for a comfortable but gripping watch. Since I'm updating my MDL a year and a half later, psst, I'm on my third rewatch. The hold this show has on me is no joke.

Rambling (unserious) thoughts:
LU LINGFENG…….. MY HUSBAND (jk) but he’s so…. argh he’s literally so hot the way he’s literally hotter than most leads in a ROMANCE drama like my guy is in a mystery/suspense drama and lu lingfeng has more rizz than someone who is supposed to be hot. but lu lingfeng on the other hand.. he fits the role so well. he has that kind of 英俊 appearance fitting of a young, upstanding general and he has a little bit of cuteness about him heehee

the cases are fun (watched most episodes all the way through without skipping and its not too scary and i really enjoy the vibe the show has.
