Just go and watch it!!!

I am a sucker for thriller/crime/mystery dramas. I especially enjoy the Taiwanese ones, because they are always creative and graphic (all the props look so realistic!). This drama isn’t an exception. It is visible that the team creating it spared no efforts to provide us with a very high quality production.
The acting is amazing, but I expected nothing less from this talented cast. The story is thrilling, I just couldn’t put my laptop down after starting it and I ended up binging the whole thing (never mind that I have exams coming lol).
I kinda knew who was going to be the killer, but this is only because I’ve read too much crime novels.
P.S. I sooooo hope there’s going to be a second season, because I just want to see these actors working together again, but in my heart I know that with this drama it just made sense to end the way it did.

Aaahhhh cutenesssss

I just loved this drama. The actors are both stunning, found their acting really natural. Their chemistry is also on point.
I just loved the vibe this drama has. It’s so relaxing, no unnecessary drama between the characters, villains etc. It is a realistic love story of two childhood sweethearts. ().
Usually I don’t like these types of dramas, but here the childhood sweethearts trope worked well with the whole story and it was a nice addition to the romance.
I am no scientist to give an opinion about the whole "love experiment" thing and its accuracy in real life lol *this is a drama after all* so I don't mind it. I think it was really creative.
I really appreciate that this drama has almost no dubbing at all. It' s a bonus for me: I usually hate dubbing, feels like it takes some of the authenticity of the acting. I prefer the actors' real voices. In the case of this drama, the male lead's voice is amazing, so glad they kept it authentic like that.
The female lead is so cuuuute. I loved her. Usually I find the female characters in such dramas quite annoying, but here she was just such a sweetheart.
The male lead is so handsome. And aaaahhh, again with this voice. I can’t wait to watch him in more dramas.
P.S. I forgot to mention there is, at a certain point, some heavy topics related to family and child-parents relationship. Still, really well done, made me feel even more empathetic towards the main characters.
Really recommend it!

So good

What can I say? I just love these types of Taiwanese dramas!
I was quietly waiting for this one to end so I could binge watch it and oh boy, I am so glad I did, because I don’t know if I would be able to wait so long to find out what happens in the end.
I loved the twisted plot, the chemistry between the characters, their personal struggles, just EVERYTHING. Their stories are so well written and go really well with the plot. Every move they made just made sense to me.
Also I like the fact they managed to show the viewers that not everything is black and white in this world and that people are always hanging between being good and evil. That only one bad deed can turn you into a monster even though you are not one.
This is also the only show where I sympathised with the culprit at one point. I felt really sorry for him.
Overall I think it’s a great show and if you are debating whether you should watch it or not just do.
!!!Keep in mind it has few scenes depicting sexual violence and self harm!!!

Wow…just wow

I am a huge fan of Taiwanese crime/thriller dramas. They just never disappoint. I found this particular one by accident and wasn’t actually planning on watching it, but gave it a chance. And oh, I am so glad I did!

After starting it, I just couldn’t put it down. I am used to knowing how the story is gonna unfold way before the ending is even close. But with this one… you just never know. There were so many twists throughout the show that were so clever and interesting and I never saw them coming. Everything just made sense in the end.

I loved the main characters, especially Yang Chi Hsiao. The acting was really good, the cast did such a good job portraying their characters and made them so realistic. Loved the chemistry.

Amazing show. Maybe the best one I watched in this genre! Go and watch it!

If this doesn’t get a 2 season I am going insane

I was hyped for this drama months before it premiered. I knew it will be a total hit just by looking at the teasers. Iqiyi really stepped up their game with this one.
The drama is just amazing, whatever I write here, it won’t be able to describe how much I enjoyed the story, the characters, the plot twists. You just need to go and watch it for yourself!!!
Unexpectedly I also found a healing aspect in this plot. I lost a family member really suddenly a few years ago and I could empathise with the main lead. I found myself crying numerous times watching all the scenes with his father, because they made me remember what I went through before. Showing the struggles of the family members, the pain from the loss, trying to continue living with this pain… It was so heartbreaking but also healing to watch. I really appreciate this part of the show.
The acting was amazing, I was familiar with the actors before watching the drama so I knew they will ace it.
Stop reading reviews and just watch it already!

Worth it!

I was sceptical about this one. Decided to pick it up after watching the incredible performance of Liu Guan Ting in “Trinity of shadows”. And I am so happy I did. EVERYONE’ performance in the drama was exceptional. I was actually tearing up watching this and usually don’t do that with dramas.
I really liked that it was a trope free romantic story. Everything was realistic, the characters actually felt like real people with real problems, shortcomings and feelings.
The best way to say it is that this drama has a bit more mature look on friendship, romantic relationships and family and it’s a breath of fresh air in the drama industry.
Just loved it!
