Who wouldn't want some fluff in a hard storyline like this one, with particular focus on drug crimes and illegal syndicates? Well, I do like my fluff in crime/suspense dramas.

The comedic inserts and occasional fluffs between the main casts were extremely cathartic in contrast to the violent scenes necessary in this drama genre.

I, for one, am not really knee-deep into dramas with enough suspense that kept me in jitters until the release of the next episode. I actually prefer light-hearted dramas from japanese series or cringe-worthy dramas from korean series. BUT THIS DRAMA WAS ONE HECK OF A RIDE. And yes, in caps lock for emphasis. (Btw, I'm not shouting nor am I angry. I'm just pumped because I loved it!)

But, there were three things I did not like:
1. The computer graphics were not really well-done. I'm talking about some gun scenes, and some of it looked fake af. Maybe there were budget constraints?
2. There was a slump in the flow of the storyline. As a longtime viewer of dramas (almost 2 decades now), I definitely felt and saw it. There were fillers that were unnecessary, but they still fit in nicely. My advice for those into the drama but couldn't get past the first half: PLEASE do continue watching.
3. My goodness! William's hair and mustache! He's handsome and buff af, but his midpart brings me back to the hair of the 90s. Is that hairstyle coming back? I'm not 100% against it though.

Over-all, I liked almost everything from the main leads to the antagonist to the support cast. I also liked the music and dramas OST. I'll definitely rewatch this one soon.

P.S.1 All episodes are on Youtube now. Legally uploaded by Croton Megahit. English subtitles are also slowly added into the videos. Patience is key!

P.S.2. Please support Ma Sichun (Sandra Ma) and her future activities!

This'll be my first ever review on mydramalist. I rarely review what I watch because its either I dont have time or I dont think the movie/drama is worth making a review for.

My reason for liking and giving a very high score for this movie is simple. The whole time I was watching, I was completely immersed in the overall movie. Being fully immersed in a fantasy-genre movie is quite a feat for me.

STORY: The story itself is heart-wrenching. I am not a fan of this movie-genre but I can say that the whole plot is exquisitely well done. Both the transitions and the flow of the story helped the movie up a notch in my heart. I give my thanks to the scriptwriter/s of this movie.

ACTING/CAST: This movie made me forget the names and the reality of the actors/actresses acting in a movie. This is what I call "Butterfly Acting". I rarely see this in movies and dramas, and so I commend the cast of this movie and their exemplary coordination. Also, I give my congratulations and thanks to the director and producers of this movie. Kudos!

MUSIC: The music/sounds in this movie was very appropriate. When the scene needs silence, there is no music. But when it is needed, the classic sounds of the guitar, crickets, and such was not amiss. The music itself guided the plot of the movie deeper and deeper into the resolution of the story.

REWATCH VALUE: Before, I watched a movie called Sunny. I actually (and fully) rewatched Sunny for more than 25 times. FOR THIS MOVIE, I evaluated its rewatch value as 10 because this movie will be in my heart forever and whenever I get the chance again to watch it, I will. This is like what I felt for the movie "Sound of Music". I think this'll be a classic.

OVERALL: To sum all the things I said, this is a heart-wrenching, fantasy movie that has a cast with "Butterfly Acting". I repeat, this will be a classic movie with a beautiful story and acting.
