Mysterious Tales of Changan (2022)

Poor Acting, Bad Script

This is a short drama with only 18 episodes, each 7-8 minutes long, and a total length of only about 2 hours. I finished the whole thing in one night like watching a movie. A talented girl (Huang Nuannuan) interested in forensic science, helps solve mysteries and crack murder cases with the help of another female investigator (Zhang Danyang). She meets a man who claims he’s the Crown Prince (Shu Yaxin) but she doesn’t believe him. When murders happen in the palace involving foreign dignitaries, the Crown Prince asks for her help. She solves the crime, at the same time solves the murder of her own father who was the palace doctor many years ago. She and the Crown Prince fall in love. The end. There would be a season 2 with a bigger plot than what has been unfolded so far.

My Verdict
- Don’t watch it if you have better dramas to watch
- Acting is elementary as if the actors are in their first day of acting school
- Plot itself is not too bad, but plenty of plot holes
- Logic is bad
- Dark
- Limited humor that’s not even funny

Not recommended!

Acting needs more work

The premise is good, the script needs some work. The main actors are being overshadowed by the support cast. Their acting needs some work in other words.. im still waiting for everything to be better.
Im just a bit frustrated as the plot is really good but the delivery fails in so many ways. The pace isn't consistent. The acting has some promise but the lead actors are still lacking. The female coroner is supposed to be smart but im not getting that vibe with the lead actress. Its like the
The script has some big holes. I am still waiting for it to improve but im already on episode 8. All im seeing are good secondary leads while the main actors are being overshadowed.
