i don't normally watch contemporary Cdramas. By chance, i caught a clip of one scene on Facebook and found it pretty funny and comical. After watching 5 eps, I don't like certain sub-plots and characters, but will try to pursue a little further. Let's see...
Chen Jing Dian has lapsed into another language or dialect a few times, for comedic effect. Anyone know what language…
yup, i did hear something like Canton words coming out of that young chap's mouth, but he didn't enunciate the words properly. Even if he was trying to make it sound as though a Mandarin speaker couldn't speak good Cantonese, it was done horribly.
Since the above synopsis already forewarned of what was set - tumultuous time of war... heart-wrenching romance...…
It's so true about Cdramas set in republican era involving revolutionists and Japanese - nothing good comes out of it. Unless the drama is a short term one and focusing solely on sweet romance, such dramas based on historical events will leave us with either a cliffhanger or on an unhappy note.
Glad i waited till it's close to completion before i started peeping into some episodes of 2nd half. Sadly, not only it's open ended, all perishables are either assassinated, betrayed and killed, bombed, crushed and/or died as a martyr.
Six years since her escape in 1937, she became even more hopeful after reading an old article backdating to six months ago... Since the intruders surrendered in Sep 1945, i guess she's returning only after the Japs' exit. Realistically, finding someone in such a big country with no modern infrastructure and speedy communication, it's like finding needles in a haystack.
Since the above synopsis already forewarned of what was set - tumultuous time of war... heart-wrenching romance... we all kinda expect the worst, but still it's too much for the head and heart to absorb so many strike-offs night after night....
oh, please don't drop it if you're only interested in CP cos according to what's revealed in the last five min, ML didn't perish like all the others. But, it's an open ending though.
yup, it did kick off well with likeable visuals and props. Since the ending is already told in the 1st two minutes, i guess i can still embark on a journey with little expectation.

#1 don't like ML, not even once in any of his dramas.
#2 he's a total turnoff here, esp with such unrealistic script!
