There is the romantic comedy part of this series and the ancient-forensics-investigations part of this series. They come together quite nicely in the end, but the series is quite uneven as a whole. It takes several episodes before the main female character even gets to do what she's good at (examining corpses and solving mysteries). In other words, if rom-com and somewhat silly humor isn't your cup of tea and you are watching for the mysteries, you have quite a bit to put up with. I also feel that while the basic concepts behind the mystery cases are interesting enough, they get too little coverage.

The romance part of the story isn't really great. I actually liked the dynamics between the middle-aged couple (the main male character's father and his lover) more than the main couple.

The main characters are rather likeable in themselves, but somehow the couple dynamics are not that endearing. Zhao Cuo and Tian Sanqi are the main couple, but their devotion to promises they have made when they are but ten years old doesn't exactly seem like love. Especially when, through some twist of fate, they don't even realize that they have made contradictory promises. Admirably, Zhao Cuo is more decisive when it comes to (potentially) breaking his childhood promise to marry someone. Sanqi may irritate some viewers with her obstinacy in wanting to keep her childhood promise despite being in love with someone else.

Jack Lok's Bai Yifei is absurdly silly and cute, but the cutest part of his romance He Ruoyao turns out to be when he thinks he has fallen for a man because she has been disguising herself as a man. Sometimes even his frenemyship with Zhao Cuo is more entertaining (like the scene when he does a kabedon to Zhao Cuo when giving him advice.

The series is ultimately entertaining enough if you just want a leisurely watch. Just don't expect really well developed mysteries or seriously moving romance.
