Review

The series is not exceptional, but it is not bad either, offering a fairly average yet watchable experience.

It somewhat lacks strong engagement, but the chemistry between the lead duo, following a classic buddy cop style, keeps it interesting enough to continue watching.

The story takes a slow and steady approach, focusing more on atmosphere, character development, and gradual clues rather than fast-paced action. This makes it different from typical crime dramas.

One of the highlights is how the narrative spans different time periods, showing the long-term impact of the case on the characters. Dylan Wang delivers a grounded and mature performance, which suits the tone of the series well.

Overall, it is worth watching for those who enjoy darker, character-driven crime dramas.
