This was recently released and has finished airing. After reading the synopsis, i gave it a try and decided to continue on. I like how each 701 member has their own skills and how they work together for the missions. And of course, the main lead is also doing an excellent job so I want to finish the drama. (It's also a happy ending - I skipped forward to check out the ending).

Cheney Chen as Rong Jinzhen
After his mother passed away, he was taken under his uncle's care who is also the principal of the school. Rong is recruited into 701 to decipher the Purple Code but since he is autistic, he faces numerous obstacles before he successfully joins the others in 701.
I personally thinks the actor played the character exceptionally well especially when he is a singer turned actor. The character Rong can be annoying at times when he causes trouble but the actor is able to instigate sympathy by reminding us Rong is autistic so it becomes difficult for us to hate the character. The little actions that Rong does also provides comic relief especially during the training.
Ying Er as Zhai Li
Possessing a photographic memory, Zhai Li joins the team to contribute her special talent to something meaningful. Her other motive in joining 701 is to see her long-time crush 701 instructor An Neng.
I've seen her in Sealed with a Kiss with Hawick Lau and her acting was acceptable, nothing specular though. In this series, she plays a memory genius, which is an interesting character. She bullies Rong in the beginning but that is because she doesn't know he is autistic. She does end up with him in the end from the scenes shown in the opening theme.
