Of Monks and Masters (2015)

A superb series re: Murder Mysteries

Just by chance that I found this series on Youtube. A pleasant surprise because the plots, the cast, etc, were all very good. Odd though, that this series hasn't received enough publicity as it should, and the main male lead hasn't got more major roles after this successful work. (He was pretty good in his role as a monk, a detective, a private inspector etc. in this series.)

The few female leads here were quite attractive and good in their acting skills. Some were a bit mature (with respect to the male lead) in looks - guess it was because of their makeups.

I definitely will re-watch this series again and again.

A pleasant watch for Murder mystery lovers.

By chance, we came across this on YouTube. I suppose YouTube got my algorithm after I watched a few of detective dee movies.
We mistakenly watched the last 2 movies of the series before realising that there is an order. Even then, we were not put off at watching the series from 1st to end. It was quite interesting to watch the early episodes knowing the spoilers at the end. Of course I recommend you start with movie 1, and work down to the 10th one.

I thought all the actors did a splendid job for their roles. The main lead, Li Shaobai is incredibly smart. The series focused mainly on the murder mystery, while was also able to properly and created the development of the characters and their relationships..
I think this series are purely for those who enjoy a Chinese version of Agatha Christie’s ‘Poirot’ or ‘Miss Marple’.
