Iam very glad lately i find series which end to be little gems.At least to me.Murder Diary is one of them.

It is a combination of "Bad and Crazy" + " Two Cops"(Kdramas),with a bit of "Bones"(USA Drama) and a hint of "Danger Zone"(Taiwanese Drama).
Or at least those Dramas came across my mind while watching this.So if you watched any of those too,you could have an idea about Murder Diary as well.

Music:I liked the main OSTs.Both songs has beautiful melodies and lyrics.But thats all about music.Definetely i wanted more themes.

About intro & Outro:
The Intro as visuals was really good although nothing special or new.It is based on the old and good recipe of gathering scenes from the whole drama.
But there is a tiny detail which was an extra bonus to me regarding the professionalism of this production.After the first few episodes the intro has a small change pointing a huge plot twist and revealing a clue.Of course we-viewers-already know the twist by watching the episodes but i liked they changed the intro to match the given clue.I found it really smart and i love this kind of details.
As for the Outro i never paid any attention to it as i always was in a hurry to press the "Next episode" button.I only checked and fully watched it at the last episode for the sake of this review.So the closing music score as well as the visual is equally good to the intro.I pick the virtual library of the outro as one of my bests so far.

Production/Direction:Everything was just fine and smooth.Cinematography is one click better and there are somes scenes which are absolutely amazing.(The dancing scene in library was FA-NTA-STIC!)

Cast:I don't know any of the actors.Actually this was my first Hong Kong Drama so i can't tell .
Acting: But judging from acting all actors were really good indeed.Some roles were very demanding in terms of acting and the actors did a great job!

Characters:All i can say is that this drama has so many and different kinds of chars.The Great Manipulator.The Annoying Type.
Strong and Weak chars.Smart and not so very smart!Brave and Cowards.Psychopaths & Serial Killers.
Choose your type!My favorite was the ML!(There is a bizarre but so sweet and cute quartet too!!)

Story/plot:
I cannot go into a deep analysis without spoiling things.It can't be a full review because i really do not want to give away even the smallest detail.I don't want to ruin the whole fun for you.So i suggest you go fully blind.Slowly learn and explore each and every character.Let the story unfold.Give it time.Sometimes you may feel the story is way too complicated and messy,but actually is not.As in every Drama there are side-stories revolving the main one.All it needs is a bit of patience.It will definitely pay you off eventually!
Everything here has to do with Mental illnesses.What i really liked about this Drama is the fact that they approached the issue with much caution and care.They never overused or abused this sensitive topic.
And although the story is all about mental disorders the Drama itself is not heavy to leave you broken and sad.So we learn things about mental diseases but we can handle it.

Murder Diary is not a Masterpiece with absolute terms but is really close to it.Is a very good Drama with an interesting story and more interesting characters and side chars too.
It really sads me when such dramas stay hidden.Really worth your time.
And iam very greedy.I wish for S2!
