Story:
Its a typical procedural episodic crime drama with hints of an over arching plot to be solved at the end. The crimes are in fact a mix of cliche and original plots. Investigations are captivating but marred by stupid writing and unrealistic plot progression. The scientific theory and forensic autopsy part stands out more than anything else. Though the gory details could have been toned down. It is a bit too much for some people (not me though!).
The most glaring plot holes are the shoe horned feelings of attachment and care between the investigative unit. They all were like people working together with no other feelings and then at the end they were like some long lost friends or some people working for years with each other...
It seems that every episode happened after many days of time difference in the timeline but their behavior does not substantiate such. I felt extremely lost in the last 2 episodes.
Characters/Acting:
Characters are stupid, except for the main lead who is an omnipotent genius. Chinese novel readers should know that it is the same OP MC story line that they have red in hundreds (if not thousands) of Xianxia novels. The universe serves the male lead character. Romance and friendships are shoe horned where needed.
In fact, the plot is so contrived that with only the main lead, they could do everything. That makes you question the viability of such a unit and how it solved cases before him or why the other doctors haven't been fired yet. The others including the female lead are just 1D characters. The whole world of the drama is made only for the male lead to shine, all else is just decoration.
I mean the male lead can do all the medicals better than all the others. Their could have been silent characters helping him out, no need for these foolish, no consequence characters, just there to show a more wholesome team. The female lead could have been their to provide protection and other police work, may even serve as a romantic interest with a sassy demeanor (she is already a bit sassy). It is a tried and true formula, I have seen many popular shows with such a plot going successfully for more than 5 seasons.
The last 2 episodes were really the bottom and reminded me of the over 1000 episodes of CID (Indian Drama) that my household hated and only my little brother loved.
