I had low expectation before, since its a B level (low budget) drama, made 5 years ago, non romance and republican era genre..

But after watching 6 eps, the plot is surprisingly very very good.... Its very different from usual republican era dramas which have lots of (political) talks.

Here, very little talk!
It has many actions, fast paced, thrilling, everyone is smart, lots of strategies and schemes .... which i have to use 0.75x speed watching it to understand, with lots of rewinds, haha..

All the cast are experienced actors and actresses, so everyone acting is online and realistic...

So if you like smart plot, smart ML FL, smart antagonists, chess and strategy game, spy and espionage theme, give it a try.

Its a breath of fresh air after so many fantasy and romance dramas, we are all need a little brain gym, dont u think so? Hehe

Dont bother with the era, kmt, or whatever the parties, just enjoy the brain burning plot and spy war actions ;)

Deep Lurk is also surprisingly top 1-3 on tv drama category across networks when it was airing on cctv8 and cctv1, even with 0 promotion and marketing, isnt it a real prove that its worth watching? :)

Updated after ending :
Well, up to ep 30 its still amazing, after that, the editing is a little choppy since it was cut from 50 to 38eps.

But it successfully able to maintain the suspense and mislead audience in guessing game "who is the mole" from the beginning to the end. It makes audience think of wild theories since everyone can be the real mole.

Try to watch 3-6 eps to see if you like it and since the beginning is a little confusing because of characters' introduction, dont forget to read Cahane's note on discussion for foundation understanding.

Enjoy the ride :)
