This drama is truly made for everyone. There's romance, comedy, mysteries, murder, wars, martial arts, lots of schemes and character development. The writer for this show has a tendency to layer plot twist atop of plot twist, so you never really know who is the villain, and who's good or bad; which makes the entire show almost like a "who did it?" mystery.

Our six main characters can be divided into two groups, the stupid and the smart. But, every single character is unique, interesting and by the end, you will love all of them. Even Ya Nei and Xiao Jing, who seem to be useless and stupid, end up growing to be formidable and helpful (and Ya Nei is hilarious). The couples here are also really cute, especially the secondary couple. Also I totally ship Xue Ying and Ya Nei. Putting aside romantic pairings, the entirety of the seventh team is just a big family. They start out as barely acquaintances, but as they grow and take on missions together, they end up becoming a group that you cannot split apart. No matter what happens, the seventh team will stay together.

Acting here was pretty on point. Especially Bruce Heng as Ya Nei. He's the funniest, but can also be the most depressing. Steven Zhang perfectly captures Yuan Zhongxin's charisma and scheming personality. Zhou Yutong is amazing at portraying the confident and aggressive Zhao Jian. Wang Youshuo portrays the never-lying (but not really), noble Wang Kuan with just the right amount of pride and kindness. Su Xiaotong is soooooo cute as the innocent and kind Xiao Jing, and Zheng Wei does wonderful with the antisocial and loyal Xue Ying.

In comparison to the majority of idol dramas, the OST for this show kind of felt disappointing at first. However, by the end of the show, I had fallen in love with both the opening and closing songs. The background music is also used very well, and helps to add another layer of reality to the scenes.

Overall, I would suggest this drama for anyone.
