The male leads stole the show

As what other reviewers/ commenters have mentioned, this drama has a somewhat unique storyline compared to your typical C-dramas. It has romance (of course), elements of mystery, investigation, crime, medical, science fiction and fantasy. But the highlights of what made this drama unique to me, were how it touched on the topic of death without being overly cliche, and also the fantastic chemistry and character build up between the male leads.

The 4 male leads - JBJ, QC, QT, William were the stars of the show. The friendship, dynamics and “love triangles” between JBJ, QC, QT and William were fun to watch and something I’ve not come across often in C-dramas (usually it’s just your usual brotherhood or bromance between 2 male leads). The character developments of all the leads were done well and their bickering and lines were always on point (there was even a scene where JBJ openly took a dig at the writer of this drama on typical drama cliches).

Overall the show was paced well. I never felt bored or felt the need to fast forward as every episode had mini sub-plots and characters which fed well into the bigger and underlying plot of the drama, as the 4 male leads (and FLs) worked together to solve each case to get them to the finale. Worth to watch.

Ps: I hope to see the actor who played QC in more lead roles (I watched Sassy Beauty right after this show :p).
