I was in the mood for a crime drama, so I decided to finally watch one. I chose a Chinese historical crime drama.

And I enjoy it very much. It’s cute and funny with lovely costumes and sets, and with spectacular fights. But the best thing is the relationship between the two main characters.

Tang Fan is a lower sixth rank magistrate. He’s pretty and slender. He’s super intelligent, but he’s underappreciated by his superiors. He makes deductions about people a la Sherlock Holmes. And he’s a foodie. To earn extra money he writes, under a pseudonym of course, erotic novels with titles like “Lust” or “In Her Boudoir”, but it seems he himself is a virgin.

Sui Zhou is a former soldier who is now a leader of imperial guards. He’s handsome and stoic and calm. He’s honorable and good at fighting. But he also still has nightmares about his time in the army.

Together they fight crime. Seriously, they solve criminal cases in Beijing during the Ming Dynasty. They meet for the first time when they both try to solve the delicate case of a murder of the son of the marquis, and they join forces to do it together.

I ship them like burning. This is Tang Fan’s face when he sees Sui Zhou for the first time, after he tried a delicious meal prepared by Sui Zhou, who masqueraded as a cook for plot reasons.

This is absolutely “who is this tall, dark and handsome man, who can cook so well” look. :D
