The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty tells the detective story of Tang Fan, a sixth rank

official and Sui Zhou, an embroidered uniform guard with 50 soldiers under his

command. The two join hands to crush a conspiracy to maintain peace and order

for the people. The official Tang Fan and the military officer Sui Zhou can be

described as the Ming Dynasty version of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, both of

whom depended on each other while harboring a strong mutual dislike. In

addition to forming a lasting friendship, the two take on synergistic roles at

various moments during the saga, with memorable turns as "tenant and landlord"

and "diner and exclusive chef". Sui becomes "the worst breeder" who feeds the

"quick-witted little greedy cat" Tang. The drama, with the tension heightened

by accidents, coincidences and reversals during their joint sleuthing, proves

to be both exciting and funny, as the two "frenemies" work together against

evil. At the same time, Wang Zhi, leader of the Western Depot, at times

serious, facetious and adorable, is constantly stirring up trouble for the duo.

The three distinctive characters together weave a saga of trials and

tribulations. The strong performances of support characters Alyssa Chia and

Lichun Lee add to the wonderful and purposeful confusion as the drama unfolds.

The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty is the first online drama that is a collaborative

effort between Jackie Chan and iQiyi. The Jackie Chan Stunt Team created the

action sequences which punctuate the hilarious scenes with intense martial arts

performances. With the clothing, make-up and set not only faithful to styles of

the day but also to the simplistic grandeur of the Ming Dynasty's Chenghua

period, the drama is expected to be a major success in China and beyond.
