i watched this drama because i thought it was a bl wuxia drama, but it was more like criminal minds but wuxia version, and there's romance

story: there are separate cases every couple of episodes, where jian bu zhi tries to solve them, just like the name "ancient detective" suggests. he meets people on the way that help him, and he is wanted by a group of people.

acting/cast: the acting wasn't out of this world, but it wasn't bad. i recognized zhao wo huan from the prince of tennis. jian bu zhi looks like wang yi bo in so many scenes lol. the girls were kinda average imo.

music: i don't know why, but i didn't pay much attention to the music like i would with other dramas. it just didn't "hit different" and it wasn't that intense.

rewatch value: meh i wouldn't really rewatch it, i rushed to finish this drama not because it was good but because i wanted to get it over with

overall: it's a good drama if you want to savor it, the biggest reason i didn't like it is because it was not what i expected when i read the synopsis of this drama. i personally dislike straight romance LOL
