I was very excited to watch this and honestly, I wish I could get my time back. The show had too many questionable directing and story choices that make me wonder what on earth was going through their minds when they made it. There are obvious similarities that can be drawn between this type of story and Sherlock Holmes, but ultimately, the titular Sleuth is more of a hindrance than a help and often caused more problems than he solved.

Additionally, the music was such a poor choice that it usually pulled attention away from the plot instead of enhancing it. I kept wondering WHY they chose this music and then I couldn't even focus on what was happening.

The acting was fine at best but the haphazard plot, tone and direction were the things that really let me down in the end. The overarching plot should have been compelling and captivating, but it was mostly just tedious. I also wish they had done a better job of making me care about characters rather than having a hastily thrown in montage at supposed crucial moments. Another thing I really cannot forgive is that Sui Zhou was completely wasted in the final episode to the extent that I was either constantly looking for him or I forgot he was a character at all.

In the end though, I have to say one good thing the show had going for it was its presentation of the meals and the positive found family dynamic the leads had. Those moments with their family were wholesome and heartwarming but not enough to save the show.
