❤️ wuxia and historicals ? Ancient Detective
just finished binging all 24 eps in a few days, and i’m sitting here at 2am (after finishing the last ep) writing this. i have so many things i want to say about this drama idk where to start.
firstly, the plot was amazing! i won’t say its a one of a kind type of plot, but it’s one of those that is executed well without any unnecessary scenes. despite the typical amnesia setting, the rest of the show focuses much on mystery and then wraps everything nicely together in the last few eps. but i need a season 2 asap because of the cliffhanger at the end the twist at the end was ingenious, and anyone who wasn’t paying close attention throughout would’ve been caught off-guard (like me haha). really enjoyed the solving cases aspect of the show as well, it was so satisfying when they solved a case.
the acting was solid, maybe the ML could have had better expressions but overall i felt that the cast (esp. supporting cast) did great! i loved FL and second ML so much! there are certain recurring characters which add even more spice to the dynamic, which i honestly don’t mind at all. the fight scenes were actually pretty solid for a low budget drama too :)
one thing i love about this show is that there is no love triangles between the main leads (aka no second lead syndrome!). the 2 couples in the show fit perfectly and although the bromance is really strong here, this is one of those shows where i don’t mind the romance :) the romance was also nothing too complicated, as i feel the highlight wasn’t the romance, but it complemented the plot nicely.
the ost is amazing, i love the ending theme because the lyrics fit the characters nicely. esp. when they used it in certain scenes, uwuuu the feels came hitting hard.
overall, 24 eps was too short for me T.T i would’ve loved a 50 eps historical mystery drama. & i need a season 2 asap. just wanted to fangirl abt this drama somewhere so i decided to post my thoughts about it here. hope y’all have a good day and perhaps give this drama a watch!
