I was too emotional when writing my short comment so it is very confusing...my apologies.
I am aware of the driving force chinese actors, actresses and the crew embrace their roles when acting as japs and I bow to them. Hope during the process of filming they had the psychological support.
I've watched all the Cdramas that approach this subject. But for Man's Inhumanity to Man, my heart won't take it. The level of my hatred will sky rocket. Japs brainwashed ? With all the evidence, how come their government with the support of its population till now haven't given a word of apology. To me they are all evil.

I don't think that I'll have the courage go through an emotional spree. I hate these people to the core. I even stopped watching their Jdramas, movies. etc. For my studies and understanding of their lifes, I HAD to read their literature. I wonder where Chinese actors and actresses have the guts to personify some of their roles. A shame there are veteran actors.

This is what I call acting !

I am at episode 47 because I want to understand why this high rating. I am a difficult Cdrama watcher. I still don't understand the rating. I dare say that it is the worst story put on screen ever for the last decades. At each take I was questionning the director, the screenwriter and the ability of the actors.

I agree, it is not for every one's taste. I don't care about viewers attack. And these viewers have to be honest with themselves. There are pearls out there that honestly need more attention. To avoid hurting my rib with laughters, It's high time to drop it here.

I am a Santa fan.

Oh gosh ! How I enjoyed reading you.

Correct...international POV. I still keep in mind that international POV is based on historical books, reviews written by international historians, scientists, etc. Which means that these are mostly distorted resulting in wars, genocides, stolen artifacts, slavery, stolen natural resources, impoverished countries, depriving women and children from education, children slavery till now, etc.

I cannot be sure that the domestic audience knows all of this. China is a HUGE country and there are still too many taboos. Such as too much desire to look like westerners leading to little selfesteem. But, hey, who am I to raise such a delicate topic that is plastic surgery.

Ai Li Ya and Cheng Pei Pei are inside out real beauty. Their voices are mesmerizing.

In the 2022 Cdrama The Imperial Age, his acting was fantastic. I had watched many of his dramas prior to The Imperial Age and I wasn't that impressed. But obviously the director of The Imperial Age guided him extremely well. His role here in TVOA is another proof of his hidden talent.

What a dark ep 10 !

There were the opium war and the tea war. If Cdramas could cover these subjects, there would be a better understanding of how the brits destroyed China. Such as Robert Fortune who stole the tea by any means. And the silk road to enslave easterner population. Now there is a toned down political revenge from all the countries that were under the brits' power. These countries do not ask for recognition but for reappropriation of their historical artifacts. They are reclaiming their history and their pride.

The script shows lessons to learn but to my view point too much of a subdued script on this matter. However I could sense the wordings raging from the chinese actors. Oh gosh, I love them all.

Ouch ! Uncle Wu is back !

I rest after the 1st episode because I wanted to navigate a little longer in its dream.

Hours later, i am still wondering if it is another Nivarna in Fire. Am I still dreaming ? Is it my screen or my brain foggy ? Why has Santa landed on my roof that early ?

I need a glass of champ right now to finish this year with the arrival of this grandiose arts in its ensemble. Cdramaland...I love you.

Loved the first episodes on YT but too busy at work. Sadly YT took it off and it's impossible to find another platform.

When...when...when. My patience is wearing thin.

It's a bad remake of the 2022 Because of Love.

Hope in future Cdramas no name like Haotian will be used...gives me allergy.
Gao Hui, your declining memory saved your sinking boat.
Shu Han, trying to shine through a full glass window...shameless.

What gives the impression of saving this story are :
1. the pure love of Si Ting's father.
2. Si Ting and her father memories such as the ride under the rain, the meals, his contagious smile, his tender voice.
3. the kids dialogue and pure friendship.
4. the good acting specially the kids whom steal the show.

It's being on my list for weeks.

"Silent contact" Thanks for sharing. I am watching it right now.

"kids" adding the one at his school.
