My Review:

A well written drama with uncommon storyline. At first, i hesitated to watch this drama because i didn't really like the actress. I also thought that it would be a fantasy kind of drama which is kinda absurd sometimes. But, i was bored and i gave this drama a try and it turned out to be addicting. I love that it craves you to know more and more, full of mystery and cases which is fun to watch. Definitely highly recommended :)

Synopsis:

A male student's body is found at school. Authorities assume that the student killed himself in a fall. Other students at the school hold a trial to uncover the truth behind his death.

My Review:

This drama is so good and totally underrated. At first, i just watched it randomly because it's about crime drama and i believe that it would be interesting enough to keep me watching. Surprisingly, this drama has underlying deep meaning and one of the most satisfying ending i've ever seen. I think that everyone somehow could be related to this drama and that's why i highly recommend it! 

"I still don't know the reason why i should live, no one can actually know it. It's not that a person lives because he knows the reason to do so. Life is filled with limitless possibilities you cannot label. It's with endless twists and turns, with countless moments of joy and sadness. But that's how everyone lives"

Detective Ji Bai and new criminal profiler Xu Xu may seem like an awkward teacher-student pair at first glance, yet they are actually the best partners in the police force, solving one crime after another. Ji Bai slowly falls in love with Xu Xu, yet she is a girl who is as slow as a snail when it comes to love. Just as Xu Xu starts to reciprocate Ji Bai's feelings, the dormant "Angel's Killer" reappears.

My Review:

Surprisingly good drama that put you on cliff-hanger in every episode. It has some similarity with "Love Me if You Dare" because both are written by the same person (Ding Mo). Overall, i like her writing style, cute romance and full of tension story. Highly recommended for someone who enjoys crime-romance drama :)
