"Headshot" Case
8 years, 8 episodes -- and it's still not closed 😠😡🤬. I can fully understand why this would have been such a draining case for Qin Chuan and his teams, and the amount of patience, perseverance and faith that they would have needed to not lose hope and determination to solve the case. I was fully onboard with Qin each time he loses his temper because of some mistake or oversight, as the saying goes "不怕神对手， 就怕猪队友" - "The fear is not for godly opponents, but for pig (dumb） teammates"!! (No offense to the police forces as human errors are unavoidable, and no offense to pigs as they are actually quite intelligent)!
Actually I am amazed that Reviewers allowed this level of ineptness and "police infighting" to be portrayed in the drama, especially as this was based on a real case and a lot of the events were also real...
Main Character: Qin Chuan
I really enjoyed the main character Qin as he evolved into more of a Leader vs a "lone hero or cool genius" role.
One of the scenes I particularly liked in these episodes was when a number of policemen gathered in an office and Qin explained to everyone the importance of formulating a character profile of the suspect -- and then he really just let the others take the floor and throw ideas and brainstorm together. At the end, he didn't say much at all to close off with his own brilliant theory, but simply recognized what others had contributed, and also cheered them on. This is precisely what good leadership behaviour should look like!
\"How to reconstruct a character profile?\"
Overall, and perhaps it's because of the negativity and uncertainties that are happening in the real world at the moment, I find that I am finding much solace in this drama and in characters like Qin Chuan, who has a strong sense of conviction and belief in the fight against criminal activities, where it is not really for his own personal gain but for the greater good, and this is likely the same pure determination that's portrayed by the main character in She and Her Girls.
"Spot me if you can"
Really liked the aerial shots of the cities and landscapes. Man's a real trekker.
