OH BOY. I just finished this drama, and holy fucking shit I'm so sad that it's over. Each character (the main male leads), Tang Fan, Sui Zhou, and Wang Zhi each have very good charisma. If you're looking for a romance/BL drama, look somewhere else because this ain't one. HOWEVER, the chemistry between the "supposed" BL couple is fantastic. You can't help but ship them! Unfortunately, due to China's censorship of BL, you will be disappointed if you solely want to watch this show because this was supposed to be a BL show.

Nonetheless, the story, the production, the acting all make up for it!!! You see, even though this show is titled as a mystery drama but the humor in this show is amazing. I laughed more than I expected for this type of show. The actors did amazing! I want to say that I underestimated Darren Chen when I was debating if I should watch this show. I was like "Oh... he's just gonna be another pretty boy in a historical drama". OH BOY WAS I WRONG. I absolutely loved how Darren Chen played Tang Fan. In the show, Tang Fan is an intelligent and righteous magistrate in the capital. He is looks rather innocent (he ain't obnoxiously naive tho ) and playful, but when it comes to helping other people or saving his loved ones, he will do everything in his power to ensure the safety of others. Also, he's really funny I gotta say.

Sui Zhou seems rather cold-hearted at first, but I promise you he's a sweetheart. Even though he doesn't show his affection on the outside, he genuinely likes cooking food for Tang Fan and the gang. This character is righteous and he always does what he believes is right. He isn't obnoxious about his family background or anything (although this doesn't exactly have a huge impact on the story). Sui Zhou and Tang Fan have great chemistry together! Watch the show to find out!

ONE LAST THING! My favorite character of all is Wang Zhi. Although he's "just" a eunuch, his intelligence baffles me. This character seems very complex. He's not exactly "all for the people", but he is extremely righteous in his own ways. Wang Zhi is basically the King's dog but you'll get to see a tremendous character development throughout the whole show. At first, I swear I thought that Wang Zhi is gonna be those typical dudes that are very entitled and power-hungry. I was scared that he might make the whole story a mess at first. I was pleasantly surprised that his character is not like that at all. You'll see his genuine care for Tang Fan and the others as the story progresses. I feel like Tang Fan and Wang Zhi have very different, yet similar characteristics. Wang Zhi is usually seen as the cynical one, while Tang Fan's character is more open about his feelings and thoughts. Anyways, they're both very cunning when carrying out a plan. You can't always understand what he wants or what he is thinking. He seems a bit way too loyal, which makes me wonder why. His tactics may seem cruel sometimes, he simply does what he is told and what he thinks will benefit the country. JUST WATCH THE SHOW, MAN!
