I had fun watching this drama, but the last 6 episodes were completely whip-lash inducing with many bonkers writing choices. My favorites were Yu13 and Princess Li. Both actors were amazing and I look forward to more work from them.

@abs-oluteM @40somethingahjumma Thank you for the warm welcome! I loved Imperial Coroner a lot too. There really wasn't enough of the CP in Chase the Truth, but each scene was full of longing and touched me more than some full romantic dramas. I completely missed that she was trying to protect his integrity when she didn't want him to come outside. I am watching it again, but must say it was very subtle and I probably would still miss it if you didn't mention it. They don't say much to each other, but there is a lot of unspoken meaning behind every word, look, and body language. He seemed disappointed when she asked to leave. I do think the drama should have given her more reaction time when she identified her mother's body by the bracelet in the picture. It lacked impact, unless they meant for her bottle all that in until she exploded in the later episode. I haven't ventured to KDramas yet, but still keep that one in mind if I do. It's funny how all these police and gangsters went to be firefighters in Bright Eyes. The actor who played Lao Qiang is unrecognizable. My amusement is that both his character and Wang Zi Qi's character (Lou Ming Ye) shared the same "wife"... Instructor Lin Lu Xiao... Huang Jing Yu 🤣. Huang Jing Yu and Wang Zi Qi have such a cute bromance and they will be in another drama together. Pei Yin's actor bored me in Bright Eyes, but he is so amusing and dastardly here. Xiao Fei's arc was too tragic. I enjoyed his alliance with Yi Han and thought drama was going to redeem him. Also loved seeing Jenga Master from Bright Eyes here. His arc made me cry there and his gruff character gave me a few laughs here. When he was digging Yi Han and Nana out from the bomb blast in Episode 13, I was getting reverse flashbacks from the other drama.

Hello! Occasional lurker, happy to say "hello" and chat about this drama. Not many around me watched it because of the police/gangster theme. I grew up on HK dramas so I am used to this unrealistic but entertaining genre. It's like modern Wuxia to me. I like Wang Zi Qi's plasticity and how each character gives me a surprise. This time he was volatile, dangerous and the flirty moments had me laughing at his guts. Enjoyed the warm and funny scenes with Tian Yu, the sunny friendship with Tang Xiao Tian, the acting from Zhao Xun, and the actors who portrayed Lao Qiang and Pei Yin. Xiao Fei was a pitiful and fascinating character. I had too much fun when Chu Yi Han beat him but then I also rooted for him and was disappointed by his downfall. Yiyi turned out to be amazing too. I like this actress a lot. I expected the romance to be minimal, but even though I wanted more scenes with them, they gave such a beautiful, tragic Shakespearen aura. Yes, it only worked because of their previous Imperial Coroner connection. Reincarnated couple. When he said, "Na Na" for the first time, it reminded me of "Chu Chu". Loved their Romeo and Juliet inspired balcony scene. Motorcycle scene was weirdly timed, but still left a great poignant feel. The ending was the best for me. What an amazing and elegant confession line. "27 days.... And a half". If this drama had a stronger, tighter plot and was more popular, that line would be iconic. But at least it was one of the most memorable and hopeful ways to end a drama. Cheng Fan and Yi Han's last scene impressed me. Tian Yu signing but saying conflicting dialog while emotionally acting. My brain can't split itself like that. Really teared up with his death, Yi Han's anguish was palpable. And how cruel to not even let him hug his mother. I wish I fast forwarded all the dull police talk and Gu Mu Lan stuff. He was Na Na's childhood Boogie Monster and also the show's. Other weak parts were some plot logic, Aku, and the less engaging acting of #2. This character should have been more powerful. Other positives for me: Xiao Fei having no desire to avenge his real father was great and rare logical sense. Suspension Bridge Effect explains half of Cdrama couples, lol. And since I recently watched Bright Eyes in The Dark, seeing the 10+ overlapping actors in completely different roles were Easter Eggs for me.
