Endless Protection (2025) review
A special team, including prosecutors Lin Zhi Tao and Bai En Yu, works to protect children through the legal system. They come across crimes that test their emotional strength, but despite the horrifying cases, they have to fight for justice for one of society’s most vulnerable: the children.
Characters
Lin Zhi Tao (played by TBD): A no-nonsense prosecutor who becomes part of the special Juvenile Crime Division.
Bai En Yu (played by Vengo Gao): A corrections officer at a juvenile corrections facility who later joins the prosecution team.
What I liked
- I really love our main sleuthing duo, and I especially like the gregarious Bai, who adores his wife. What a refreshing character to take on, and I’m glad Vengo Gao got a chance to play him. He’s so far from the usual suave characters I keep seeing him play that I’m delighting in the chance to see him do something else.
- I like how multi-faceted the drama is. They don’t portray the juvenile delinquents as irredeemable but show that they’re likely the result of their environment. I find myself unexpectedly rooting for some of them.
- I like how each case isn’t predictable. I always think that I’ve pinned down the culprit, only to be surprised each time.
- I really appreciate the plain ol’, logical, and good scriptwriting. You do wonder why idol dramas just can’t do this while dramas like these can.
- This storytelling is what I love about Endless Protection – it’s never straightforward. There are red herrings, surprises, and layers to every mystery.
- All the young actors in this show were absolutely brilliant. If there’s one reason to watch Endless Protection (among many), it’ll be this.
What I didn’t like
When children are the witnesses to a crime, a unique approach had to be taken, including using dioramas and role play. The drama’s opening theme had several dioramas that hint about the cases the show explores.- The crimes are so… difficult to watch (sobs). But anyway, I really, really hurt when I see young people suffer in any way, even on TV.
- Some episodes were slow, and it took me a while to get through them, but the rest of the drama is fine.
Thoughts about the ending
It’s pretty fulfilling and satisfying, but it doesn’t exactly give you emotional highs.
The case that made the mark for me is that of the master teen schemer that we are teased about throughout the show.
As our budding villainess stood in the dock, hearing her sentence, she broke down, understanding that everything she did was for the wrong reasons.
The fact that the show enabled me to sympathise with such an infuriating character is a testament.
Kaitong’s arc wasn’t violent, fortunately, nor was it action-packed, but the final scene in the courtroom delivered such a punch: Don’t waste your life. Don’t waste your intelligence on revenge and evil.
Conclusion
Story: This storytelling is never straightforward. There are red herrings, surprises, and layers to every mystery.
Acting: It’s such a delight to watch Vengo Gao in such a good role. I’ve only seen him as an aloof heavenly emperor, an aloof kinda-vampire, and an aloof swordsman—you get the idea. So, to see him just let loose as the brash, hot-tempered but good-hearted corrections officer is such a delight. All the young actors in this show were absolutely brilliant.
Costumes and sets: Viewers of Western crime dramas won’t find anything new in this one, but it will give great insight into how Chinese society works and also the mechanics of law and order in the country.
Final rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Generally a positive drama that will uplift you, even if the crimes can be depressing.
