Initially, I was a bit skeptical about this drama whether it will be good or not. The first episode hooks my attention where I already get some tense from the manhunt. That leads to the curiosity on what will happen in the next episode and the next one and on and on...

As the story goes on, from each episode onwards you will get that tense feeling and guessing on what will happened next. I think this is one of the best C-Drama with Historical, Political and war theme. It shows courage, patriotism, loyalty, integrity and all aspects of a spy should have. Really really interesting.

The setting of Shanghai in the late 30’s and the 40’s are well built, when you watch the episodes, you will feel that you are brought to that era. The cinematography is also good. In some tense moment the camera movement adds the effect on the dire, suspense situation.

The acting is also seeming natural, not exaggerating. I think every single character played very well and worth some appreciation.

Although this is not a romance drama, and the topic is more towards History, political and war but the relationship of the Male Lead and Female Lead was built beautifully. There are not many or almost non-romantic scene to describe their relationship, but it is able to show how deep is the feeling between both characters. Both Male and Female lead are giving their utmost act where you can see their feeling, their pain, their mutual affection clearly. You are eager to know what the end of these two characters will be, will they be together or not. That will make you more attached to the show.

You may not agree with the political views here i.e., communism – but despite of that, you may disregard your political view and just enjoy the storyline.

The series has a tight plot which able to create suspense and thrill, it is spy vs. spy. Depiction of intelligence world in China that day.
