Innocent young girl comes to the big city, makes some killer autopsies, and wins the heart of a prince. There's also crime, rebellion, and treason.

I enjoyed the ride - it's a historical drama not afraid to go "historical" if needed. Add female friendship and middle aged women who _aren't_ bitches to the mix. But the role of the eunuchs felt unfresh.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! I've seen a lot of Western movies and series where info about danger towards a female character has been withheld from her because 'it isn't safe'. I've _never_ seen _this_ happen:

The Imperial Coroner is charming, but I keep loosing track of who's doomed to marry who. I'd like to say it's because everyone (well, _almost_ everyone) has three names, used a bit random, but I actually remember all their names. It's more because the parties for and against keeps flashing over the screen at light speed.

Yes, it's a crime drama - why do you ask?

Leng Yue* (to Chu Chu): Girls are supposed to protect girls.

Me *waving my cane*: _Damn_ right we are!

Also - I know very little about fandom on mainland China, but in the West this would launch a thousand ships so fast the thunderclap would take out cities.

(*probably - their names haven't stuck in my mind yet)
