pretty good conspiracy/thriller with a hint of sci-fi

The imdb plot summary pretty well captures what this show is about: a c-pop star and her best friend (a genius at solving crimes), both junior college students, get drawn into a series of murders that turn out to be connected to a shadowy organization. Meanwhile, the pop star turns out to have a split personality, that of a former government agent. (This is revealed very early on).

The c-drama that this most reminded me of is "Love Me If You Dare" with Wallace Hou and Ma Sichun. This one doesn't have the rom-com aspect of "Love Me If You Dare" (well, maybe a tiny little bit), but both shows involve slowly unwrapping the layers of the conspiracy.

I was watching this show while running on the treadmill, and it definitely kept me coming back to work out because I wanted to see what happened next. Be warned that, while it does have an ending, it's most like the end of one book, but not a series. There definitely could be at least another season of the show, but seeing as it's been five years, I doubt it will happen.

Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
