Reborn

On August 14, Qin Chi with 5 other policemen were lured to an old warehouse and involved in gun fighting with gangster Chen Xi. 9 people died that night, Qin Chi survived with part of bullet stuck inside his head causing lost memory about the incident. It also makes him a new person. Old Qin Chi was ambitious and  bootlicker. But, new Qin Chi doesn't really care about fame and title. He just want to know what went wrong that day.

When he returns to the force, he's promoted and got new assistant, Lu Mingjia. Being son of police chief, Lu Mingjia is eager to proof himself. Lu Mingjia was part of Qin Chi’s old team, but he was excluded from the 7/14 action.

This is the most comprehensive police drama I ever seen. The cases are simple but unpredictable. There's no genius detective here, only diligent officer who keeps digging and digging. Hard work pays, I can simply say that.

But, the one caught me the most is the way they elaborate family relationship between characters, especially with the fathers. Qin Chi hates his father for being incompetent, probably because he neglected him when he was young. Therefore he looks up to his uncle. This is hurt. When Qin Chi becomes policeman, he also ignores his family for work. Work is important and he doesn't have ability to shut it to be with people who care for him. He lacks the skill.

It similar with Inspector Qiu's case. He's really meticulous at work, but his family ignored him when he returns home. He has no voice. These two people just really don't know how to communicate with their family.

In a lot of drama, workaholic guy always assumed to prioritize work more than family. But, none ever analizes the mental dynamic they're going through. This drama covers it all.  

On the other hand, Lu Mingjia is always protected even when he's at work. But, he doesn't rebel when trying to show his guts. This is exceptional. Even though being the boss son benefits, he never mean to use it. But, when his boss want to make use of his status, he doesn't mind. As long as the work is done. Once he acts against his father order to let Qin Chi does his job. He realizes his father won't harm him. I like this part. Although his character seems plain, he's actually competent. But everyone takes him as little boy, except for Qin Chi. While Qin Chi being busy with his sickness, he leaves Mingjia to lead the branch. His amnesiac turns him a sincere person, unlike what he used to be. He doesn't care whether this young assistant is son of his boss, he just want him to do the job. He gives Lu Mingjia a chance. 

Now for the shallow part:

I didn't plan to watch this, but I saw Zhang Hao Wei there and I kinda like him. XD
