The female lead is also amazing. - StarsFala ChenLinda ChungLily LiFollowing the working and private lives of the Forensic Investigators and police officers of the Hong Kong Police, sometimes with the boundaries between crossing.completed up to season 5
I actually really love this. They use forensics as part of solving the crimes, aka Chinese CSI. The only thing I didn't like was the messy triangle relationships that happened in season 2. Season 3 cases were pretty interesting, I really like the main female lead. Season 4 I swear I can’t tell the difference between two of the female leads. They honestly look the same when they pull their hair back. Season 5 was umm interesting with the direction they took with the main lead especially at the end. Some of the side couple coincidences were way too cheesy amd unbelievable. Also - what’s with this show and clowns. They show up every season. - StarsHerun WangYizhe WangWang YuweiA determined Qing dynasty princess contends with palace intrigue and a vendetta against her family as she navigates the treacherous terrain of romance.completed all 1 season

This was so fun to watch. This is the epitome of a 爽剧 because Yingluo will always win and I’m here for it. The acting is great as well because I honestly hated the villains so much.

I actually really love the idea of this series. I love that they are an organization of serial killers. I actually ended up rooting for them sometimes and would have loved to see a spin off where she was actually on their side the full time. However I really don’t like the female lead. She acts tough but she’s not and it’s just kind of annoying overall. - CreatorTakeshi KonomiStarsYiren SongYuchang PengBinbin XieA 10th grade boy whom is the son of a famous retired tennis player.
