Another excellent rendition of a Spy Story

Totally loved this! Ending was much better than Arrows on a Bowstring. Characters and storyline were also similar and the schemes and plots really blew my mind off! Never expected all those twists.

The only thing I felt could have happened is that the production team could have dramatised all the planning and action of each of the assassination instead of just seeing the final action. I would really like to hear and see how they actually plan each assassination instead of giving it an after-thought preview (those of you that have watched this will understand what I mean). Nevertheless the story was well executed.

The cast was great and similar to 2013's Aarows on a Bowstring and also 2021's The Rebel. Ah Cheng's character was superbly weaved and the numerous roles he had to play were simple yet profoundly impactful. I'm looking forward to more of Wang Kai's dramas.

This drama series has had a very good balance of conversations and action, something that every good spy drama should have. On top of that, a satisfying Dram should also have a good ending and this drama did enough of it though I wouldn't say it's entirely satisfying.

I have always loved this genre and will always do. These types of dramas really have so much depth and meaning that it's really worth spending time to watch every single episode - this drama falls under one of such dramas. I will go on to watch more of these 战谍 drama and will write my reviews for each of them accordingly.
