Worth watching drama. All actors & actress very good acting. I love the drama so much that I watched three times. Final episode is very satisfied as Chu Chu & Xiao Jin Yu married with good ending. This is the first I watch historic detectives drama.
Since they are married, hope there is Season 2 with all the same actors & actress.
