The cast are considered pretty new but quite talented, especially Zhang Ting-Hu (Boys Can Fly and Apple in Your Eye) who was nominated as the Best Actor award in Golden Bell Awards. I've faith in this team of producers of Man.Boy (小孩大人), they're really good with action thrillers tackling on political corruptions stories, they also produced legal drama, 天平上的馬爾濟斯 (Justice for Love).
Young and good looking cast. Zhang Ting-Hu is such a cutie pie but it seems that he'll be playing an anti-hero seeking for revenge on the corrupted powerful people that created the tragic accident and separated these childhood friends.

It's been an okay drama to me though

Not as great as I want it to be. The plot is intriguing but I'm not particularly invested in the romance department and also wish that the action scenes can be more polished.

@c_gunawan541

I too was looking for the action scenes were more polished. I think the mystery they are trying to solve has to many obstacles in their way. First the police refuses to reopen the case from 20 years ago? One of the survivors is traumatized and refusing to to talk to her son, a grandfather who betrayed his town , a business am refusing to tell the truth to save his own family and a secret project that no one can find . SMH SMH SMH.

A bunch of people who wants REVENGE AND A MURDER.

They aren't even revealing any of secrets yet which makes it very slow.

I'm finding it interesting but damn I need a relationship tree to keep everyone straight LOL 

[Guest tsukino72]

I'm slowly falling in love with this series. I think that it's quite refreshing to see this kind of genre in a Taiwanese drama series. It has more hardcore action and depth than I thought it would have and I definately like the storylines.

[UnniSarah]

@tsukino72 Who are you shipping for? Dragonfly and Kitty Grasshopper and Li Zi Yan I am not to crazy about cop team leader. He is a cold bastard and stupid cop. I have noticed these cops are not smart except for Li Zi Yan and Liu Dong Han.

I enjoyed this series. They could have work on the fighting scenes and a bit more romance would be nice.

magnifique drama !!!

[Guest alybaae_stv]

This drama was okay, I thought the ending was pretty lame though. It had so many things going on that it also made me really confused (in the beginning). The characters also had too long of a dialogue, just straight talking for 10-30 mins instead of actually doing something. A lot of the arguments between the characters also became repetitive (esp Kitty & Dragonfly when they began to work together for the case). But overall, it was an alright drama. It could have been improved. But thr actors were really great!!!!! (Written last because contains spoilers) I also didn't like

***SPOILER***

How there became a love line between Young Mei & Dong Han. And how she became pregnant with his child. I was not feeling that.
