Summary:

Plunged into a deep ocean of grief, a distraught psychologist has been dedicating the last five years to unraveling the enigmatic circumstances that led to his beloved's fate, lost to a tragic car accident. His late partner's professional legacy, a psychological evaluation of a child who committed murder, became a controversial point of interest due to its conclusion that the child showed no signs of violent tendencies or any discernible motive.

Amidst his relentless pursuit of truth, the psychologist's path converges with that of a remarkable individual with Asperger syndrome, a man whose extraordinary intellectual capabilities are contrasted by his challenges in social interaction. This man, and his sister, upon whom he heavily relies, become intertwined with the psychologist's quest. The sister, adept at navigating the complexities of daily life for both of them, had in the past inadvertently played a role in the collapse of an undercover operation led by a dedicated police officer.

The narrative takes an unexpected turn when a long-elusive witness resurfaces, rekindling contact with the imprisoned murderer. This sudden appearance precipitates a series of pivotal and transforming developments in the case, forging new alliances and confronting old demons as the search for the ultimate truth deepens.

    COMPLETELY ENTHRALLED BY THIS SERIES

    As a connoisseur of storytelling hailing from the realms of television, I've encountered my fair share of letdowns; series that promise the world yet leave us stranded mid-journey. Yet, here stands a beacon of narratives, a captivating exception to the trend. It stands testament to meticulously crafted writing and multidimensional characters, capturing my intrigue without squandering a moment.

    The depiction of the central ensemble evokes an undeniable empathy, as they're not merely present to occupy space within the storyline. The term I...

    would anchor to this series is "CHARACTERS." Their arcs aren't only substantial but are intricately interwoven into the fabric of the show, challenging the conventions of the conventional law enforcement dramas from Hong Kong with a refreshing investment in character development and narrative depth.

    The heart of the drama beats with the tale of siblings; one a nurturing social worker, the other an individual with challenges in social contexts, yet a savant in numbers and technology. The portrayal defies the norms, embracing the brother with sincere acceptance rather than condescension or unnecessary pity. Equally compelling is the journey of another lead, a psychologist weighed down by the specter of his late wife's absence, a role that pulses with raw emotion and humanity.

    The soundscape of the series deserves its own accolades, possessing an auditory hook that haunts the scenes with an unforgettable melody—one that has me soliciting the musically informed for its title.

    When it comes to narrative closure, this show delivers without leaving threads frayed or questions looming. The synergy amongst the characters is palpable, the fraternal bond convincing, the romantic entanglements and supplemental narratives finely tuned. There are no misfits in this ensemble; each actor breathes life into their role with a seamless infusion of skill and connectivity.

    This gem might fly under the radar, overlooked amidst the pantheon of its peers, yet it stands deserving of equal—if not, more—acclaim. It is not just a drama; it is a resounding endorsement of character-driven storytelling at its finest.
