This is my first time writing a review for a drama


I will break it down by only the main characters and what I liked and disliked about the story

To be honest the reason why I decided to watch this drama was because of my current favorite actor Wang Yi Bo so I am biased towards him. His character was good but I think there is still room for improvement; from his facial expressions, the way he delivered his lines was a bit hard to hear at first but got better throughout the drama; but it was nice to see a different side to him from his previous drama "The Untamed" which didn't give him much dialogue, so it was a treat to hear Wang Yi Bo talk a lot in this drama. It was good to see he had great chemistry with his other co-stars and for those who have not watched his other dramas "Legend of Fei" and "The Untamed", its worth it to go and check it out.

For the actor Huang Xuan; I am not as familiar with this actor so I can't really compare this work with his previous dramas; but he is a character worth looking into as I think he did an amazing job in bringing out Gao Bingzhu. At first he is hellbent on revenge only and working alone to solve all his problems, but then as the story progresses, his character has a change and has learned to not only work with other people but learns to care for them too.

For the actress and only female lead and only female guard of the show, Victoria Song did a good job. My impression of her is limited as I only know her as the singer of the Kpop group F(x), so this is my first time really watching her in a drama. She was the only female of a government service, but that did not stop her from being able to bring out her character and lead people to fight.

The part of the storyline that I liked
1) the suspense grabs your attention the moment you start watching the drama
2) the OST is nice; sometimes I think the music doesn't fit the drama but it was not the case this time
3) the fighting scenes are well done; well played and keeps you on your feet, feels like if you blink you will miss the good part of the fighting scenes
4) only towards the end did i really know who the real "mastermind" is; and that is what i enjoy about a drama; not for them to give away who it is too early then it's no fun to continue watching

The part of the storyline that I can't say I disliked but I think maybe could have been excluded
1) the little bits of romance could have been excluded from the story as I don't think it needs to be included in this kind of drama as it doesn't fit the genre; not all good dramas need to have romance for it to capture the attention of the audience
2) some characters in my opinion where not really required to complete the drama but i guess they were there for a reason; i won't spoil it.

Overall; if you like dramas that are full of suspense, intense and awesome fighting skills and good actors and actresses, then I would suggest give this drama a shot.
