Xing Zhen Bi Ji (2023)

Simple, interesting plot for pastime

A short suspense, investigation drama that kept me interested.
The main characters are efficient with their jobs, and whilst there is chemistry between the 2, it is not heavily emphasised and the main story flow is still focused on the case investigations. Although there were only 2 cases, they were really enjoyable and kept me immersed in suspense every step of the way. since it was only 12 eps, it was also just the right length to prevent people from getting bored and burnt out. I also loved the way scenes were filmed, with cinematography and colour grading just right to fit a suspenseful atmosphere.

1 point deducted for certain impractical scenarios and extra sound effects; Personnel related directly to the deceased and possible suspects could participate in investigations & some sound effects were very purposefully added. Another 0.5 point deducted was for the s*xual scenes that seemed really unnecessary (it did successfully give me goosebumps if that was the intention) which felt very extra and really stuck out from the plot.

The final review is that it's worth watching if you wish to keep yourself entertained with a show that is interesting and packed. But if you're looking for shows with deep-rooted plots and well-written background stories, this might be too short for you (after all it's only a web drama)!

See you next time, peach
