The story told by "Ancient Detective" is intriguing and definitely different from most costume c-dramas. The very climate of this drama is a combination of classic detective stories with pretty neatly depicted realistic realities of ancient China. Thanks to this, the drama has a peculiar atmosphere and irresistible charm. The characters are also remarkable and thanks to the cast, which does not appear so often on the first pages of the cheap press, I felt a certain freshness. The drama is excellent. Although criminal themes may leave something to be desired, I watched them with pleasure. Some episodes were hilarious. But ... I didn't watch this drama completely. I abandoned her almost before the very end, without any rational reason. I just got bored in the middle of the episode, stopped watching and didn't come back to it.
I gave the lowest score for music, which is really great, but a few songs are, um, say, from a different fairy tale.
I forgot to add that the battle scenes were great! Excellent wuxia!
