Romance in revolutionary war times, with a bunch of handsome guys
STORY
The 1925 context and the rivalries/war between armies led by the governors and that led by the revolutionaries, is interesting.
We witness the struggles/issues of influence between the different powers (Concession, armies, governors, Japanese).
CASTING
The CL is quite cute (beautiful, noble and intelligent characters).
A lot of handsome actors (marshals and officers) although they don't really have the physicality of soldiers :). Big risk of 2LS with Evan Lin :)...
But some unbearable characters:
- the completely idiotic sister (with horrifying voice), supposedly rebellious, excessively childish and annoying, who is left free to put everyone in danger in times of war ??? Seriously ??? (as soon as this character appears, my hair stands on end because it's fake, badly played, inconsistent with the context)... And what's more, this character doesn't change an inch!
- the mother-in-law with a horrible voice!!!
- his vain, evil and jealous daughter.
TECHNICS
Realization of quality despite freeze frames a little too accentuated on the romantic moments.
Some bugs and anachronisms however(don't forget it's 1925 :)
- mix of jazz and french cancan in a show ???
- electronic medical devices
- sister's mini skirt
etc
The stage manager and director didn't pay enough attention to detail!!
Most of the time, the OSTs are adapted: epic, soft or very sad. Nothing particularly memorable though.
I would recommend this drama to those who want a mix of history (very nationalistic:), romance and action.
