A cute, entertaining short story - trigger warnings at the end

Don't expect a fully fledged thriller plot - it's 8 episodes of about 20 minutes (five of which are credits). The story focuses on the two main characters' relationship and how it grows, period. And you know what? That's okay! No everything need to be 32 episodes.
The story as it is is well paced, has likeable characters and surprising emotional depth. There is no unnecessary miscommunication drama, no great violence and/or answering BAMFness or such - they're both very normal, every day people despite the setting. It is a simple, entertaining show that knows what it wants to do and say.

The pluses, for me (spoiler-ish! Beware!): Yoo Han's utter absence of filter. Yeon Woo's aunt being a good parental figure for once. Next to no "he's a rapey asshole but I love him" stuff or boundary violations, and I forgive what little there is because they're teenagers and we all mess up. On screen kisses!! Hawll's eyes.

The show is overall cute and fluffy but it requires some TRIGGER WARNINGS (beware, contain spoilers)
Mentions of: Systematic oppression. Bullying. Murder, assault, kidnapping.
On screen/Explicit: Kidnapping. Depression. Violence ideation. Suicide.

Pure content warnings: Torture. That's the big one. Not on-screen (so far), but casually implied, mentionned and never addressed as a bad thing, because, y'know. CHINA. Bullying, boundaries violation, blood and murders obviously, manipulations. A few examples: threatening to accuse a man of rape if he doesn't obey her, making people do all the work while they sleeps, stealing shit from the house of a witness, insulting and belittling of basically everyone, etc. This show is so wholesome! =_=
I'm going to be honest: I dropped that show and intend to never finish it, if only because the casual use and mentions of torture upset me. Who would've known?
Now, the summary is actually very misleading. What truly happens is that one of the male main leads is arrested by the second male lead for murder and the female lead bullies her way in because of "plot reasons". That's not a task force, and it wasn't planned.
The main characters are all dicks in their own ways, so together they fill up a full Asshole Bingo card. Lu Yao is especially infuriating, what with how entitled, sniveling and manipulating he is. The guy who tortures people is somehow more honorable and respectable than the man who doesn't.
The opening is dope, tho!
Now that you've been appropriately warned, enjoy ! (I guess)

Listen. Is the pacing good? Fuck no. Are the plot twists twisty? Nuhu. Is the narrative tension good and thick? Absolutely not. Well, then, is the CGI good? NOPE! Is it even GOOD?!? No! No, it isn't!! Would you rewatch it?? HELL YEAH I WILL!!

Three words: Gay. As. Fuck.

Trust me, try it. The screenwriters have never heard of pacing, the secondary charas' acting can be awful at time, the cgi is weirdly focused on thiccness, suspense is there only because you never know which level of Dumb Reaction the plot will aim for and their hitter dresses like a fabulous emo teen; the overall show isn't *good*, at least one (1) wig is a crime against wigness according to the friend who gleefully dragged me down this hell, but you'll have the time of your life. If only for the many, many indecent things Bai Yu does to/with lollipops, Zhao Yunlan's bride hair and the sheer commitment to make every scene as gay as possible the main actors share. Also that Kitchen scene. And that Kneeling scene. And that Books scene.
(And the OP is dope.)
