Wang Zi Qi is so well-suited for the role of Chu Yi Han. He naturally exudes the professionalism of a police officer, even when dressed casually in a leather jacket. He has such a commanding presence. My favorite scene is when he's riding the motorcycle. The chase scenes and his deceptive tactics, reminiscent of "Mission: Impossible," are all captivating to watch. Moreover, his gaze is filled with determination, and it completely captivates me.

The real-life desert scenery has a great sense of texture, and the costume and makeup department did an excellent job. The grayish filter tone complements the real locations, and the pacing of the storyline is fast. In just one episode, they've already established a lot of background information and set the male lead's undercover mission in motion. I'm looking forward to the upcoming plot.

I've watched a few episodes, and the pacing and overall quality are quite good. The actors are well-suited to their roles, and there were some pleasant surprises. Wang Zi Qi's martial arts scenes are impressive, with a genuine sense of power rather than just flashy moves. The antagonistic characters are also well portrayed, and the confrontation shown in the first episode was particularly exciting.

I've always been a fan of police and gangster dramas, and this one has so many actors that I'm familiar with and fond of: Wang Zi Qi, Tian Yu, Liu Wei Wei, Du Yuan, Tang Xiao Tian. It can be said that it brings together both idols and talented actors. Just based on this cast, I'll definitely keep watching. The opening desert chase and the fight scenes in confined environments are all quite impressive to watch.

The suspenseful crime investigation drama is captivating because of its fast-paced nature, abundant information, and layers of twists. After watching these episodes, I've identified several key points. The setting of the Northwest Wolf Crime Group is quite innovative, with a Wolf King leading the pack and six other wolves beneath him, each responsible for different tasks like managing money or handling firearms. They engage in a deadly struggle for wealth, and the male lead is tasked with going undercover as the third member. I'm looking forward to the upcoming plot developments involving his undercover mission.

It's a very rare drama with a Northwestern regional style. Surprisingly, it incorporates elements of mystery such as codes and treasure hunts. So far, it seems quite rich and a bit overwhelming. I feel that the unique regional atmosphere is well-suited for this kind of layered mystery story. It's a good fusion of regional and genre elements.

3.5 is a simple and concise western-themed police and gangster drama. It lacks the silly charm of "Black and White Zone," and it's relatively short and to the point. The early part is somewhat cliché with the undercover plot, but it becomes more refreshing later on. It really captures the feeling of old western movies with multiple forces and characters battling each other. The last two episodes were a bit disappointing. Tian Yu and Xu Hong Hao's character development is excellent, but some of the young actors' performances are lacking. Overall, it's an okay drama.

In order to find his missing mother, he infiltrates the inner workings of the Northwest Wolves alone to uncover the truth. It takes more than just courage for such a task, and I really like the way the male lead is portrayed. He embodies the spirit of a fearless and determined individual. Wang Zi Qi portrays the character perfectly, and the fight scenes are spectacular, including the thrilling chase scenes.

The male lead relies solely on the protagonist halo to stay undercover. If it were anyone else, they would have died a hundred times over. There's no sign of any intelligence, just brute force and critical hits. The storyline of the antagonist camp is actually more interesting, while the police officers are completely clueless. Honestly, if it weren't for the gimmick of the secondary characters, it would be really difficult to endure. Thankfully, the number of episodes is short.

The journey to uncover the truth is always a long one. Wang Zi Qi and Su Xiao Tong bravely venture into the desert together, and I absolutely love this high-intelligence CP (couple pairing)!

The story revolves around the resurfacing of the Northwest Wolves organization that disappeared five years ago. The male lead, in order to meet the crime boss and replace Long Qi as an undercover agent, creates a suspenseful atmosphere.

Came here for the pairing, but after watching it, the whole drama was just average. The fight scenes were decent, but the plot got dumber as it progressed. It's just too ridiculous! And the screenwriter had so many opportunities to develop the romance between the main characters, but there were barely any dialogues, and all the chances for them to be alone together were wasted! It's so frustrating! If the detective work was like searching for sugar in the floor cracks, this drama is like searching for sugar in a cement floor—there's nothing there except pebbles. It's enough to break your teeth! T_T

Everyone is highly intelligent in this drama, starting with pretending to be unconscious to subdue the criminals, and then pretending to be an undercover agent to extract information about the enemy's secrets. Without a sharp mind, one would struggle to grasp the intricacies of the high-stakes game between the police and the criminals. The initial episodes mainly focus on establishing the relationships between the characters and setting up the action scenes, laying the groundwork for Chu Yi Han's infiltration into the Wolf King's organization. Looking forward to the upcoming plot developments.

Director, let me tell you, you have complete control over the formulas for success. Why not make a sequel to that small detective film instead of this convoluted and nonsensical storyline? Wang Ge's lack of dialogue skills is truly insufficient to support his explosive acting. Even the sacrifice of his teammates doesn't reflect any sorrow or restraint in his eyes. He doesn't even perform as well as he did with those subtle expressions when he played the overbearing CEO.

I thought the male lead would be another reckless hero causing trouble, but to my surprise, he managed to handle several dangerous situations.

The overall drama is alright, but you can't scrutinize it closely because the details are like a joke. Once again, we have a male protagonist who is a young police officer fueled by hot-bloodedness and brute force. It's baffling. The female lead remains dull and expressionless throughout the entire series, with only two facial expressions: blank face and crying. She lacks charisma as a character. The highlights of the whole drama are the veteran actors, especially the heads of the villains: Cheng Fan, Jiang Jiu Ping, Lao Qiang, and Pei Yin. Even Dragon Qi, who appeared early on with little screen time, was impressive. There are many subplots, but they are poorly handled. Every time it seems like things are about to escalate, they inexplicably fizzle out. Meanwhile, the uninteresting main and female storylines always manage to escape danger due to the protagonist's halo, which is honestly quite boring for a suspense genre.

Finished this drama in 7 days, without skipping or speeding up. The TV series had the quality of a movie, and there was always a thrilling sense that you could be caught in the next second. In a serious crime investigation drama, it's the emotions and the CP that add that extra touch, and every frame was an impactful shot. It's not easy to achieve in Chinese dramas. It's a well-made ensemble drama, where every character shines.

It's alright, at least it's watchable! It's a bit of a shame that Da Luo died... Did Officer Cheng have to die just for the sake of it?! It's too cruel! And in the end, they brought in Mama for 24 episodes, only for her to die at first sight. The screenwriter went a bit too far with that! By the way, the "Northwest Wolf" is actually a pack of seven wolves, haha, that made me laugh.

The plot unfolds in waves, just like reading a novel. The narrative progression has a novel-like quality to it, and the fast pace leaves little time for deep contemplation. Initially, I watched it for the sake of the couple, but after finishing it, I realized that it's become much harder to ship them. However, it was still bearable to watch till the end, and the fight scenes were intense.
The ending really baffled me. Some characters died in a meaningless way, and the female lead was mostly a passive character throughout. The later part of the drama was even worse than the earlier part. The police were always late to the scene, and the antagonist seemed to babble without much purpose upon closer consideration.

Although the plot is far-fetched (like the unexplained loyalty to the old wolf king, the love and hatred of the previous generation, and the sudden religious conversion of the old accountant), the saving grace is its fast-paced nature.

Everlasting Connection1 year ago rating:7.8
I watched this drama purely for Xu Hong Hao and Zhao XunFu Mei... Honestly speaking, it's just an average drama that serves as a time-filler. It's a story about an undercover male lead and a mafia boss's daughter, nothing extraordinary. Lao Qiang, the third-in-command, dies when told to die, and Zhou Ji, the son-in-law of the second-in-command, falls when told to fall. Throughout the drama, there's a constant emphasis on how formidable the Northwest Wolves are, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype.
There's also the issue of the filter. I don't know why, but every time the camera focuses on the female lead, it feels like they've excessively airbrushed her, going overboard with the smoothing effect. As a result, whenever the scene shifts to the female lead, my attention involuntarily turns to the filter, and it feels quite jarring.

There are quite a few logical loopholes in the plot, and it feels like some details are missing. However, overall, the story is very enjoyable. The pacing is fast, and there are many impactful plot twists. The reverse design is well done.
This drama was probably filmed after "Detective Xiao Wu" but before "The Love You Gave Me." Looking at it this way, Wang Ge's acting skills have improved from one drama to another. However, Xiaotong's acting in this one is still a bit stiff, lacking emotional depth in some scenes.
Oh my, the chemistry between the male and female leads is off the charts!

I was attracted by the setup of an undercover police officer and a mafia princess, but the actual show was different from what I imagined. I never thought undercover work would be so open. But that kind of unspoken love is really addictive. There are a lot of cool fight scenes, although the camera work is a bit shaky. As for the storyline, it's a mix of exciting moments and some strange ones. The intense infighting within the wolf's den makes the righteous side seem less powerful.

I'm not sure what Gun Shu is busy with, and I don't know what the police are waiting for instead of making arrests. But because the pacing is fast and the atmosphere is lively, I kept watching.

Couldn't resist and wanted to wait until it finishes to rate it, but it brought me ten days of joy and a little obsession with checking the ratings.
Overall, I think it's great. Wang Zi Qi's action scenes and lines in foreign languages are quite impressive. The pacing of the first fourteen episodes is very comfortable. The middle few episodes with the two wolves and six wolves feel a bit redundant.
Je Cheng's portrayal of the female characters is good. When it comes to romance scenes, less is more to leave room for imagination. Lin Ke's explosive performance at the end is really cool.
La Cai's supporting roles are not very subtle, but Yu Da, Luo Sha, and Xiao Fei shine with their highlights, even though they have limited screen time. But those are the essence. The entire cast of Huo Guang are like supporting characters???? The pacing picks up in the last two episodes, making me think that maybe twenty episodes would have been just right!

It's quite thrilling, but it feels like there's a lot of emotional turmoil. The antagonists who believe and don't believe are both quite reckless. There isn't enough support, and a group of police officers are played around by a bunch of lackeys. The protagonist risks his life, but he doesn't even get to meet his future father-in-law. It's a complete victory, and everything becomes peaceful, which is something I haven't seen before. It's refreshing to watch an undercover operation that relies solely on physical combat without any hidden agendas. Wang Ge's portrayal of a criminal is quite exciting. However, I always feel a sense of regret about the relationship between the cold-faced firefighter and the protagonist. It's a pity that it's sparse but still had great potential.

I've already watched two-thirds of it, and the quality is still top-notch. I hope it maintains that level until the end.

If it weren't for the lack of other dramas to watch, who could endure this? Director, take a good look at what you've created. The chest-thumping gesture Tian Yu does when his heart feels uncomfortable is so cringe-worthy. Zhao Xun's performance is just over the top. I can see the effort to portray the character, but all I feel is madness. When the police officer seriously analyzed the situation and uttered the words "tear the ticket," I was completely dumbfounded.

The story revolves around the resurfacing of the Northwest Wolves organization that disappeared five years ago. The male lead, in order to meet the crime boss and replace Long Qi as an undercover agent, creates a suspenseful atmosphere.
The pacing is fast, and once again, Teacher Tian Yu has portrayed a memorable character—one with courage and compassion. I hope he completes his mission and that the surgery is successful.
I have been watching the drama and I've noticed the collaboration between the male and female leads. The fact that they have worked together twice indicates that they are truly talented. I've previously watched a compilation video of their on-screen chemistry, and this modern crime drama brings a different kind of anticipation.
I hope both of them can showcase their extraordinary abilities in this drama.
The pacing is perfect, and the fight scenes are really satisfying. I didn't expect Zhao Xun to be so versatile. He's not just the tough guy anymore; he can play a charming and roguish character. I even think Qi Gu is more manly than him!
By the way, Qi Gu's gun-snatching technique is so skillful and impressive! I love it!
Each episode feels a bit fake with this plot twist, like a forced roundabout. Are these two women intentionally causing trouble? It's unnecessary. Finally finished watching it. The big shots appear to be cunning and scheming, and the deaths are inexplicable.
How many episodes did Tian Yu have to endure to hold on until the very end? It's exhausting just watching it.
Came here for the pairing, but after watching it, the whole drama was just average. The fight scenes were decent, but the plot got dumber as it progressed. It's just too ridiculous! And the screenwriter had so many opportunities to develop the romance between the main characters, but there were barely any dialogues, and all the chances for them to be alone together were wasted!
It's so frustrating! If the detective work was like searching for sugar in the floor cracks, this drama is like searching for sugar in a cement floor—there's nothing there except pebbles. It's enough to break your teeth!

Everyone is highly intelligent in this drama, starting with pretending to be unconscious to subdue the criminals, and then pretending to be an undercover agent to extract information about the enemy's secrets.
Without a sharp mind, one would struggle to grasp the intricacies of the high-stakes game between the police and the criminals. The initial episodes mainly focus on establishing the relationships between the characters and setting up the action scenes, laying the groundwork for Chu Yi Han's infiltration into the Wolf King's organization.
Looking forward to the upcoming plot developments.
Director, let me tell you, you have complete control over the formulas for success. Why not make a sequel to that small detective film instead of this convoluted and nonsensical storyline? Wang Ge's lack of dialogue skills is truly insufficient to support his explosive acting.
Even the sacrifice of his teammates doesn't reflect any sorrow or restraint in his eyes. He doesn't even perform as well as he did with those subtle expressions when he played the overbearing CEO.
It's the first time I've seen an undercover agent blow their cover so quickly! It's definitely unique! The plot is tight and not dragging. Although the suspense isn't fully maximized, it's still decent!
Overall, it's pretty good. I've seen many people giving it one star, but it's worth at least three stars! So, I'm giving it five stars in support. Don't let the one-star ratings bury this great drama.
I thought the male lead would be another reckless hero causing trouble, but to my surprise, he managed to handle several dangerous situations. He can adapt quickly when faced with suspicious antagonists and remains composed.
It's a refreshing change from the impulsive characters we often see in dramas, and that's a good thing.
It can be said that it was made for the pairing of Wang Zi Qi and Su Xiao Tong.
In the Second Season of Black and White Zone" and "Searching for Relatives," Xiao Fei either finds family or gets beaten up. "Even if the whole world forgets what kind of person Gan Tianlei is, you, Director Tai, can't forget.
The overall drama is alright, but you can't scrutinize it closely because the details are like a joke. Once again, we have a male protagonist who is a young police officer fueled by hot-bloodedness and brute force.
It's baffling. The female lead remains dull and expressionless throughout the entire series, with only two facial expressions: blank face and crying. She lacks charisma as a character.
The highlights of the whole drama are the veteran actors, especially the heads of the villains: Cheng Fan, Jiang Jiu Ping, Lao Qiang, and Pei Yin. Even Dragon Qi, who appeared early on with little screen time, was impressive.
There are many subplots, but they are poorly handled. Every time it seems like things are about to escalate, they inexplicably fizzle out. Meanwhile, the uninteresting main and female storylines always manage to escape danger due to the protagonist's halo, which is honestly quite boring for a suspense genre.
Finished this drama in 7 days, without skipping or speeding up. The TV series had the quality of a movie, and there was always a thrilling sense that you could be caught in the next second.
In a serious crime investigation drama, it's the emotions and the CP that add that extra touch, and every frame was an impactful shot. It's not easy to achieve in Chinese dramas.
It's a well-made ensemble drama, where every character shines.
Yellow sand and red clothing are a perfect match. Su Xiaotong is great in this role. The pairing of the characters adds a touch of sweetness to this CP. I never expected to witness such a heartwarming aftermath in my lifetime.
It's a captivating undercover crime drama overall, with a young protagonist seeking revenge and delving deep into enemy territory. Looking forward to the development of the plot in future episodes!
It's alright, at least it's watchable! It's a bit of a shame that Da Luo died... Did Officer Cheng have to die just for the sake of it?! It's too cruel!
And in the end, they brought in Mama for 24 episodes, only for her to die at first sight. The screenwriter went a bit too far with that! By the way, the "Northwest Wolf" is actually a pack of seven wolves, haha, that made me laugh.
The plot unfolds in waves, just like reading a novel. The narrative progression has a novel-like quality to it, and the fast pace leaves little time for deep contemplation. Initially, I watched it for the sake of the couple, but after finishing it, I realized that it's become much harder to ship them.
However, it was still bearable to watch till the end, and the fight scenes were intense.
The ending really baffled me. Some characters died in a meaningless way, and the female lead was mostly a passive character throughout. The later part of the drama was even worse than the earlier part.
The police were always late to the scene, and the antagonist seemed to babble without much purpose upon closer consideration.
Despite a bunch of logical loopholes and a storytelling style that seems a bit pretentious, the character development is impressive. Each antagonist has their own brilliance.
It's much better than the first installment, "Black and White Zone" (I couldn't get into it and wasted the handsome Ou Hao).
Although the plot is far-fetched (like the unexplained loyalty to the old wolf king, the love and hatred of the previous generation, and the sudden religious conversion of the old accountant), the saving grace is its fast-paced nature.
The fight scenes pack a punch, and Su Xiao Tong is adorable. Well, it can be considered as a passable drama to watch while having a meal.
I watched this drama purely for Xu Hong Hao and Zhao XunFu Mei... Honestly speaking, it's just an average drama that serves as a time-filler. It's a story about an undercover male lead and a mafia boss's daughter, nothing extraordinary.
Lao Qiang, the third-in-command, dies when told to die, and Zhou Ji, the son-in-law of the second-in-command, falls when told to fall. Throughout the drama, there's a constant emphasis on how formidable the Northwest Wolves are, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype.
There's also the issue of the filter. I don't know why, but every time the camera focuses on the female lead, it feels like they've excessively airbrushed her, going overboard with the smoothing effect.
As a result, whenever the scene shifts to the female lead, my attention involuntarily turns to the filter, and it feels quite jarring.
There are quite a few logical loopholes in the plot, and it feels like some details are missing. However, overall, the story is very enjoyable. The pacing is fast, and there are many impactful plot twists.
The reverse design is well done.
This drama was probably filmed after "Detective Xiao Wu" but before "The Love You Gave Me." Looking at it this way, Wang Ge's acting skills have improved from one drama to another.
However, Xiaotong's acting in this one is still a bit stiff, lacking emotional depth in some scenes.
Oh my, the chemistry between the male and female leads is off the charts!
I was attracted by the setup of an undercover police officer and a mafia princess, but the actual show was different from what I imagined. I never thought undercover work would be so open. But that kind of unspoken love is really addictive.
There are a lot of cool fight scenes, although the camera work is a bit shaky. As for the storyline, it's a mix of exciting moments and some strange ones. The intense infighting within the wolf's den makes the righteous side seem less powerful.
I watched it because of Wang Zi Qi, and I didn't expect him to play a tough guy so convincingly. He fights quite skillfully, delivers tough lines with great presence, and effortlessly portrays the character of a small-time thug.
There are actually many parts of the plot that I don't understand. I'm not sure what Gun Shu is busy with, and I don't know what the police are waiting for instead of making arrests.
But because the pacing is fast and the atmosphere is lively, I kept watching.
So, in the end, does it mean that Gu Jiejie also has thoughts about the inheritance... So, what happened to Gu Mu Lan's remains? Has he been dead for a long time?
?? Uncle wanted to change for the better, but it's a pity that once you make a wrong move, it's hard to extricate yourself... Ah, Lin Nan comrade finally appeared in the end, but sacrificed himself.
When she said, "Son, keep going, Mom loves you," I was really ???????????????? Being an undercover agent is really tough. It's admirable that she didn't change her mind until the end.
And Pei Yin, it's still heartbreaking, the beauty and the beast. Oh, and the quickest to go offline is Da Luo, and there's Cheng Fan???? I thought it was a fake death?
??? In the end, this drama didn't really focus on love.
Couldn't resist and wanted to wait until it finishes to rate it, but it brought me ten days of joy and a little obsession with checking the ratings.
Overall, I think it's great. Wang Zi Qi's action scenes and lines in foreign languages are quite impressive.
The pacing of the first fourteen episodes is very comfortable. The middle few episodes with the two wolves and six wolves feel a bit redundant.
Je Cheng's portrayal of the female characters is good. When it comes to romance scenes, less is more to leave room for imagination.
Lin Ke's explosive performance at the end is really cool.
La Cai's supporting roles are not very subtle, but Yu Da, Luo Sha, and Xiao Fei shine with their highlights, even though they have limited screen time.
But those are the essence. The entire cast of Huo Guang are like supporting characters???? The pacing picks up in the last two episodes, making me think that maybe twenty episodes would have been just right!
It's quite thrilling, but it feels like there's a lot of emotional turmoil. The antagonists who believe and don't believe are both quite reckless. There isn't enough support, and a group of police officers are played around by a bunch of lackeys.
The protagonist risks his life, but he doesn't even get to meet his future father-in-law. It's a complete victory, and everything becomes peaceful, which is something I haven't seen before. It's refreshing to watch an undercover operation that relies solely on physical combat without any hidden agendas.
Wang Ge's portrayal of a criminal is quite exciting. However, I always feel a sense of regret about the relationship between the cold-faced firefighter and the protagonist. It's a pity that it's sparse but still had great potential.
The story, set in 2023, has both its unreasonable backdrop and its inherent logicality. Looking at the story itself, it combines passion and sincerity. The police characters exhibit heroism as well as helplessness, while the villainous gang showcases both evil deeds and pitiable vulnerabilities.
The portrayal of the undercover police officer's romance with the mafia boss's daughter is clear, reasonable, and appropriately restrained. Wang Zi Qi's action scenes are impressive.
Chu Yi Han's action scenes are so cool. It's because of that particular segment that I watched the entire drama. Even though Xiao Fei is the antagonist, I still quite like him. You little rascal, unexpectedly engaging in a pure love storyline.
It really made me cry. I thought the Wolf King would play a significant role, but it turned out otherwise. The romantic relationship between the male and female leads also feels inexplicable to me.
This week, it's the best drama I've watched. I was completely engrossed and couldn't bear to fast forward. Surprisingly, it's the same team from "I Am a Special Forces Soldier," which feels very familiar.
The pacing is strong, and the suspense keeps building up. The script is solid. I've already watched two-thirds of it, and the quality is still top-notch. I hope it maintains that level until the end.
Among dramas of this genre, it has the potential to be in the top three this year. Let me mention the only flaw: the characterization of the male lead is slightly lacking. Among the supporting cast, he doesn't stand out enough.
I'm dropping it after the second episode. I mean, that "car jump" scene in the first episode was so confusing. I even replayed it several times, but I still couldn't understand what was happening. The way it was filmed looked so fake, and the actions were just facepalm-worthy.
And in the second episode, that "police getting choked in the bathroom by Long Qi" scene was also... I don't know, it felt so mindless. ?????
If it weren't for the lack of other dramas to watch, who could endure this? Director, take a good look at what you've created. The chest-thumping gesture Tian Yu does when his heart feels uncomfortable is so cringe-worthy.
Zhao Xun's performance is just over the top. I can see the effort to portray the character, but all I feel is madness. When the police officer seriously analyzed the situation and uttered the words "tear the ticket," I was completely dumbfounded.
Not to mention the illogical plot and everyone seemingly trying their best to act well, but going overboard in the process.
