Intriguing Crime Drama!

Living in China I had to watch this on a Chinese app (Youku) that doesn't have English subs and even though my Mandarin isn't the best, I was able to follow and enjoy the storylines and figure out the relationships of the various characters and the plotline. (There are also a lot of YouTube videos that get behind the scenes too BTW.) I'm a major fan of the super gorgeous Bruce He and loved his look with his perfect hair and glasses. Bryan Chang is a new favorite who was only ever outfitted in tight t-shirts. Nice look! He's both the super cop and the main romantic lead to the equally gorgeous Eugenie Liu who's known both male lead brothers since high school.

I like a good crime drama almost as much as a rom-com and the science fiction/Faustian aspect here is thought provoking and entertaining. The stories are told a lot through flashbacks so kudos to the tight editing. Being able to order something from the future may not lead to happiness in the end actually! Show got kind of dark when it moved to the abduction of female online influencers, which led to the cliff hanger. Bruce He had obvious chemistry developing with Ivy Shao (another favorite) and his character is different from his typical uber mensch leading man role. Already looking forward to the next season AND finding more of Bryan's work to explore.
