I started watching this drama because of Tan Jianci.. I was skeptical at first, but it was fun to watch especially the first half of the drama. Every episode is so funny, full of humor, and yet still serious when solving cases. Especially the added BGM makes it all the more comical.

After that the drama moves on to the history and political views, which is when romance is added into the show. And I don't really like the romance between the ML and FL, because the romance feels forced to be there or maybe because the timing when the romance started was not the best. The CGIs are not the best, there are view scenes where the green screen edges cropped badly.

The actress who plays Ah Shu has good acting but her chemistry with JCT is not the best, also Yuchi Hua's acting was awkward at first -- especially when she did action scenes but in the later episode of the drama it gets better. I can already guess that Ah Shu is the Yanle's princess and she'll somehow seize the throne.

IMO it was Tan Jianci's performance that made the show fun to watch, but I won't rewatch this drama. Or maybe I'll rewatch it only for the first half of the drama before the romance starts.
