Too Boring, and Janice Wu is better in modern drama than historical one.
Faithful is a historical Cdrama about revenge starting Janice Wu. I like Janice Wu, but lately, her projects were not been interesting. This is the first historical drama that I watched from her. I think she acts better in modern drama than in historical costume.The Synopsis: A young woman named Ru Lan, who put her reputation on the line to air her grievances, dies in vain. Seven years later, nine people inextricably linked to the Ru Lan case get together for different reasons, thus beginning a story of revenge. Disregarding her good friend Meng Wan's objections, the young Lin Ru Lan risked her reputation to sue Wu Lian, the master of Xiu Liu. After many unsuccessful attempts, Ru Lan, who finds no place to hear her grievances, finally commits suicide to prove her innocence. Meng Wan bides her time for seven years and assembles nine people to seek justice for her friend. In the process, the struggles of a young girl buried in time gradually emerge.
This drama is so slow and boring that I barely passed 5 episodes. I am dropping it because it didn't intrigue me. I give it a 5.0 rating.

Crime Investigation in historical setting is not my cup of tea. It was so boring and too slow.
The Imperial Coroner is a crime investigation drama in a historical setting. I listened to AvenueX's raved review about it, and I like the lead actor Wang Zi Qi, so I checked it out. I watched 6 episodes of it and found it freaking boring. Chinese crime drama, in general, is quite dull, and to have it done in historical drama and dragged to 36 episodes is a bit much.I found it dull for modern-day crime drama to be dragged to 24 episodes, let alone a historical one. I was unengaged, and I should have known that AvenueX recommendations are usually not to my liking.
The on-screen chemistry between Wang Zi Qi and Su Xiao Tong is not as good as his on-screen chemistry with Wang Yu Wen. I love Wangs in Once We Get Married and currently streaming The Love You Give Me.
I am dropping this drama and would not recommend it if you are not into crime investigation in a historical setting.
I am giving a 5.0 because of the boring script.
