For a "female Holmes", this FL sure tripped over her own feet an awful lot. I don't remember Watson having to catch Holmes in his arms on a minute-by-minute basis. We get that the FL has to enchant the ML with falling into his arms repeatedly, but this was ridiculous.

Also, the FL can't act. Sorry, Sebrina Chen, but you have only one facial expression, and it's a blank look. I've never caught this actress actually acting, so I really wish she had chosen another profession. Maybe she is a good, kind person, but acting just isn't her forte. Her icy stare may work for MLs, if they don't have to do anything but be good looking, but when the drama is built around the FL, then the onus is on the FL to deliver in the acting department.

As it stands, this ML is excellent. I have seen him in many dramas where, even as a secondary character, he still manages to stand out because of his acting skills.

EDIT: I was sure this was Leon Lai Yi!!! My apologies, I have never seen this actor before, but I still think he was excellent, as is Mr. Leon Lai Yi. I don't know how I got them mixed up, but I guess they really resembled each other in this drama, in my mind.


Both the ML and the FL were meant to be rather cold, calculating individuals, but if the Holmes character isn't interesting in any way, then there is no incentive for the audience to keep watching. I finished this drama for the ML alone. I remember thinking that the ML never needed the FL's help in any case, since he already solved the cases himself using his equally good deduction skills, so she wasn't even needed as a sidekick in the first place. Actually, she continuously needed to be saved by the ML, so her character was rather pointless and unnecessary, except to add romance.
