Not a bad detective with a slight touch of fiction Unconventionally short for China, there are only 20 episodes that I would describe as “detective fiction.” No, “detective,” “criminal,” and “thriller” describe exactly what happens on screen. But only here to restore the ~detailed ~ face on the skull or to draw in detail a face hidden by a mask, it is still a figment of imagination, not an opportunity. But if you do not pay attention and take for granted that in the universe of this movie this is possible, the series is very, very good.
An interesting technique that is not so common is that the investigations within the series are not limited to one series. Moreover, they are not limited to the series as such. That is, if there are 10 minutes left before the end of the series, and it seems to you that the end is already close, but still not so much, you do not think. The Chinese (and Asians in general, as I have seen in the Koreans) will easily postpone the end of the arch for the first 15 minutes of the new series. If you watch “drinking”, you do not pay attention to this, but if you promised yourself “only one more series”, you will have to endure what you will have to interrupt at the most tense moment.
The film is filmed qualitatively, and the stories-investigations inside look with interest. Of the minor shortcomings, I would call too sharp a transition in the path “from enemies to friends”. I like the trail itself, but the transition could be “smeared” longer, and show somehow more sophisticated. Everything was pretty straightforward here, and it was a bit disappointing.
I finally got a look at Tanya Jiantsi (the actor who played the artist). I heard a lot about him, but that was the first time I saw him on screen. I paid attention because this is another actor who came out of the singers, but he turned out to be good. The rest of the actors I traditionally did not know, but the cast was very pleasant, no one knocked out of the team, all in their seats looked organic.
In general, if you like detective series with some touch of fantastic abilities of the main characters, this movie is for you. You will have a good time.
And when you watch the twentieth episode to the end, please explain to me exactly what they show us in the last minute.
