Medical Examiner Dr. Qin: Concerto in the Rain (2023)

One of the most decent Dr Qin adaptation

There are many adaptations of Dr Qin in Chinese dramaland for the past 6-7 years. The first Dr Qin I watched is the 2016 version, and it could be considered as the best Dr Qin series. It has good cases, good actors, and also good underlining of the romantic relationship that's so not romantic.

This one is a movie, and a very fast-paced one too. In the first minute of the movie, we're told that there's a case of a missing person reported by their own wife. The movie told only 1 case, but it's properly structured as a crime-solving process, even though it's quite predictable. It's easier to identify the culprit(s) and the story itself is still good. Because it's very fast-paced as well, there's no wasted moment.

Plot: 6.5/10
It's predictable but still very fun. There's no wasted space, everything is tightly packed together. Though there are parts that don't make sense, for example when Dr Qin met with the "big boss" of the case for that episode. Other than that, everything was good.

Acting: 6.5/10
There's no one who performed beyond expectation but this means that the no one also have bad performance. Everyone has the same level of performance, which makes it easier to watch the drama.

Overall: 6/10
It's not a bad drama but also not very outstanding one. It's just something that you watched and you might forget the next day. But when you watched it, it's actually quite good.
