The best bromance drama

This is my favorite bromance drama. I rewatch it many time. The actors are also excellent. I didn't know these drama. I knew this drama one year after release. I like the storyline but i am not confortable with ending but overall is very very very good. I want to see the main cast in another drama. I love main casts so much especially Mao Zijun. His acting are incredibl also Yipo Chen and other cast too. Their friendship is very strong they trust each other i want a friend like them. if you are bl fan or detective fan or bromance fan this is for you I highly recommend this drama.

First and foremost I'm not picky when it comes to binge watching action dramas or any other types of dramas.

I've been watching Korean dramas for close to a year and I guess trying to watch a different type of drama have me hitting my head against the wall.

Every episode that I stomached in this series was the same except it involved different suspects. The main male lead had a hangup about illegal opium smuggling and he was trying to track down who was behind the smuggling in every episode. Each time he found a mole they die and the episode gets recycled and then there's another mole who gets caught and die and then that gets recycled to another episode where there's another mole who gets caught and then they....yeah, you get the picture.

The first episode was all over the place for me. Besides the fact that I can't speak a lick of Chinese, the subtitles was so off it made the plot hard to follow. Plus there were times when the text appeared too fast and would jump to the next line of dialogue. I had to pause A LOT just to see what was said and by most of the translations being off I tried to translate myself what the correct English sentence should sound like.

I was also disturbed by the relationship the two main males had. In my opinion it wasn't a 'bromance'. It looked like they were falling in love with each other which is something that I'm truly not interested in seeing. Them touching each others hands and smiling at each other...yeah, that's not bromance.

The cinematography was amazing but the audio was truly weird. It sounded like it was dubbed over in a studio and they just attached the track to the actual episode. You could hear the movement of clothes, breathing-things that would get scrubbed out in audio editing.

I tried to sit through episode ten but as I mentioned earlier about moles getting caught, this was like the other 9 so I just went to find something else.

I think this was the second Chinese drama that I dropped. I have yet to find one that piques my interest. Sadly this one did not.

I currently watched 3 episodes

So I'm writing this as a person who watched 3 episodes. I can't fully tell about acting story etc but I'm gonna let this pass . For me the relationship between male leads it's too fast paced for my liking and the thing mc sister is kidnapped and he's going around helping others. This is just something wrong. Maybe this story didn't do anything for me bc I don't really like 1920-1930 setting to begin with. As for acting I can't say anything it was ok I guess from what I've seen.

I really counted on a really slow burn relationship but seeing two main characters helping each other from the first or second ep is really not for me. Also adding this female character I don't know if it's for creating a love line or something else but at this point it's unnecessary for me since it is bromance drama. And it could hold back people from watching. People clicking on this drama just expects bromance and when we get female character that is important in this people can be irritated.

I kinda love it

Harus nonton ini seru banget. The chemistry and story is amazing. Ini padahal dari original skrip dan novelnya baru dirilis setelah seriesnya selesai tapi dramanya bagus. More than bromance <3 and you must watch the cut scenes and its on youtube mgtv. Drama nya underrated padahal bagus dan seru banget huhuhu
Aktinya bagus, cerita bagus, lagunya okay, chemistry juga mantap. Dan cewe nya juga ga bikin kesal. Malah smart dan banyak bantu. Bikin senyum2 sendiri apalagi pas adegan pura2 batuk cuma untuk ketemu dr chen. Bilangnya pergi bentar doang sama bawahannya tapi ternyata berjam2 wkwkkw kasian
Episodenya 37 but I feel like it's not enough for me hahaha
They so cute together-
Jiang yilaou and dr chen forever XD

Una montagna russa di sentimenti

Ho appena concluso la visione di questo drama fantastico. E' la prima volta che vedo un drama ambientato ai tempi dei signori della guerra e non mi aspettavo un ambiente così violento (sempre nel limite del "violento" in un drama cinese). Come qualcuno ha già scritto l'ambientazione ed i costumi sono fedelissimi all'epoca, e devo dire che sono splendidamente eleganti, e non credo apparirebbero troppo fuori luogo nemmeno oggi.
Sicuramente le emozioni che si provano guardando questo drama sono tante e contrastanti. I personaggi sono tutti ben disegnati e trovano tutti un loro sviluppo all'interno della storia, nessuno risulta essere banale o inutile, ognuno ha il suo scopo ben definito. Come ogni drama che si rispetti vi è una coppia principale ed una secondaria. La coppia principale formata dal poliziotto e dal medico, e quella secondaria formata da uno degli uomini più influenti della città ed un attore di teatro cinese. Due coppie favolose, di cui si intuiscono i sentimenti più sinceri e profondi, soprattutto nella seconda coppia. Poliziotto e medico sono legati da una profonda amicizia e interviene all'interno di questo rapporto Chu Ran, una giovane giornalista chiaramente innamorata di Yuelou (il poliziotto) ma che mai entrerà in competizione con Yuzhi (il medico). In realtà proprio questa presenza femminile lascerà sempre un po' in sospeso i sentimenti tra medico e poliziotto. Figura femminile che non interviene nella seconda coppia, rendendo più palese il legame.
Io ho amato Yuelou, ma ancor di più (e non vogliatemene) ho amato l'eleganza di Zhan Junbai (l'uomo influente) interpretato maestralmente da Chen Yucheng. In realtà questi due attori spiccano sugli altri per interpretazione e carisma. Attirano sicuramente su di loro l'interesse del pubblico.
Ciò che mi viene da dire a primo impatto sulla storia è che "Il conte di Montecristo" rispetto a questo drama sembra una storiella. In questo drama il concetto di vendetta è alla base di ogni singola storia, tutti devono vendicarsi di qualcuno, e le loro vite si intrecciano nelle vendette gli uni degli altri creando coalizioni e rompendone altre. Il tradimento chiaramente viaggia pari passo della vendetta. Il problema è che non mi è ben chiara la morale e come qualcuno ha suggerito in altri commenti bisognerebbe terminare il drama a circa 4 minuti dalla fine. Allora avrebbe un senso. Ma così non riesco proprio a capirlo.
Ciò nonostante rimane uno dei drama più belli che abbia mai visto!

37 eps de pura perfeição

O drama seria perfeito se não tivesse sido transformado num bromance, mas fora isso, nada a reclamar! Os 37 eps foram todos maravilhosos, uma história coesa em que todos os detalhes vão se encaixando como peças de quebra- cabeça. Não existem eps desnecessários, até naqueles mais enfadonhos, é possível perceber que algo aconteceu ali que fará sentido mais na frente.
Jiang Yuelou, apesar da bipolaridade, não saiu do personagem de justiceiro em nenhum momento, bem como Chen Yuzhi, que apesar de todos os empecilhos, não se desvia do objetivo principal, encontrar sua irmã. Os outros personagens são muito interessantes, mas Chu Han precisa ser ovacionada, pois além do fato de ser mulher, era uma mulher independente e corajosa a ponto de se juntar a nossos heróis e brigar por justiça; e existe a questão de ver a cultura chinesa de época, que me fascina. Uma coisa que me encanta na série, e que está posta em primeiro plano mas nem sempre é percebida, é a forma como as relações interpessoais acontecem, como é possível as pessoas fingirem de forma magistral, mentirem e traírem com um sorriso no rosto e um tapinha nas costas.

Não existe nenhum aspecto técnico digno de críticas, inclusive a ost deveria ser premiada, pq é extremamente coerente com todo o contexto, e os instrumentais são a cereja do bolo nas cenas dramáticas ou misteriosas, além de serem perfeitas e trazerem o tom melancólico que a série propõe. A ambientação é perfeita, a filmografia da série nos remete ao frio que aparenta reinar, juntamente com as cores neutras que são utilizadas na maior parte do tempo.

Existe um casal secundário: Yu Tang Chin e Zhan Jun Bai, os dois tem personalidades opostas (ou não) e gostam de coisas parecidas. Entre eles existe uma relação que vai se mostrar bem tóxica em um ponto, quando descobrimos que Yu Tang Chin se aproximou de Zhan Jun Bai, se aproveitando da confiança que compartilhavam, para matá-lo e vingar sua parente morta por Zhan Jun Bai, que na verdade é um criminoso. Como a história deles se conecta com nossos protagonistas? Zhan Jun Bai sofre de uma doença respiratória que requer muito cuidado, e por isso o Dr. Chen Yuzhi acaba sendo próximo dele. Já o desquerido Zhan Jun Bai, é na verdade participante da rede de tráfico de ópio que Jiang Yuelou luta para combater.

Em suma, não existem personagens desnecessários, todos fazem parte de uma grande engrenagem e tem função vital na série, não existem pessoas colocadas por acaso. Cada história particular se liga aos protagonistas, todo o elenco atua muito bem e tem muita química.

O que me arrasou nesse drama foi apenas o final triste, mas vc pode pular essa cena e buscar o final alternativo para sofrer menos.
