Each episode brings a new dynamic to the series. This episode is one of the most touching. Each character is dealing with deep personal issues. The graphics are so beautiful. More and more questions arise. Who is the real mole? How does the opera singer figure in with the case? Will anyone find true love? This is a beautiful production showing the Chinese culture. The music adds to the mystery. Seeing the opera reminds us that the men played the female roles. The actors are stunning. The lonliness of the characters plays so well as they try to live normal lives. This is a must watch series if you are interested in a love story set against a backdrop of corruption and betrayal. I also must commend the set designers and the costume designers. Impeccable and exquisite attention to style and detail. I wish Netflix or Vicki had picked this up .I
myself am not upset about the ending. In fact I have looked at it twice. Who would have thought that the craziest cop on the force would come through at the end and prove he’s no punk. I also loved that the last minutes of the last episode focused on just the two of them. That left no doubt about their relationship and their devotion to one another. And that last shot with he and the little girl holding the cat was enough for me. He is not alone. Even the ending with the beads was to me exquisite. This is worth watching again. The entire production team deserves praise.The music was perfect. Whether sad or happy it was
the perfect compliment to that scene.
