Drama Overview & Review
Pan Yue Ming is the ML, but also the Art Director. (If not for the Hi6 promo where he showed some of his art side, I'd be even more shocked.) One of the production company is also his agency: Yuekai Entertainment (悅凱娛樂).
Directed by Wang Zhi (You Are My Glory and Flight to You). Our romance director giving us a police crime drama now.
Wrapped on July 8th, 2024.

Pan Yue Ming & Wang He Di 👨👨👧. They're shifu and tudi, work-wives, and might as well share custody of a daughter too xD. They start off on the wrong foot, with mismatched energy, but gradually evolve into a team. (I feel like there's only one team moment I love though, lol. The elevator reenactment. The poster!) The series under-develops their bonding moments. However, their biggest strength lies in their professional persistence. They consistently push through this case. [Top | Skip »]
You stink me.
I stink you.
Looking like an Asian pear with the protective foam sleeve.
Ren Min as Little He 🥚. There's three timelines – 1997, 2015, and a 2012 – with 3 different Ren Mins. But I'm sorry. Where the story focuses more on her (2012, and 2015) is where the drama drags. Not her fault. [Top | Skip »]
A good tudi to Rang Fang Xu shushu
A sweetie to Qiao Su Qing
A brat to her father, lol
All grown up?

The central culprit behind the chain of murders is:
(!!! Scroll for Spoilers !!!)
Xu Meng, the "missing" girl.
Everything traces back to a traumatic mountain. Xu Meng and Qiao Su Qing were so in love with each other that they wanted to become sisters and even tried setting their parents up together. Except the temperature dropped – dramatically. Father Xu tried to strip an unconscious Qiao Su Qing of her clothes to keep himself warm and in the confrontation Mother Qiao was pushed down the slope.
Father Xu ended up being very ill and blamed Xu Meng that it’s her and Qiao Su Qing’s fault that he’s ill. Xu Meng had felt the responsibility that she had to help her father and prostituted herself to make money, but her turning point was when Father Xu threatened to kill Qiao Su Qing. The muder of the father began accidentally, but then Xu Meng ultimately chose to stand there and watch him die instead of saving him.
Qiao Su Qing learns the truth about Father Xu killing her mother, and Xu Meng (accidentally) killing Od Yao for her. And so she commits to helping Xu Meng free herself and they stage it as a missing case. (In the elevator, on Xu Meng’s back was Qiao Su Qing disguised as her father.)
Xu Meng was responsible for all the murders throughout the series, including Old Yao, Wu Shan Long, the keyboard boy, and even Ran Fang Xu. She staged many of the deaths as accidents, mainly using oil spills that caused the victims to slip and fall.
Qiao Su Qing did not know the full extent of Xu Meng’s crimes – especially that Ran Fang Xu had also been killed by her. It is only during Little He’s interrogation that Qiao Su Qing finally learns the complete truth, leaving her emotionally devastated by the end.
