Highly recommended for Watched. Deep meaning and story, very different from other dramas.

This year's masterpiece drama from me, both the story line, acting, music are all good. Just wondering why some people gave this drama low stars. The acting of both actors is very cool, not stiff and the chemistry is tight. The story is complete with sadness, sweetness and romance, and highlights heroism and humanity. .The nature is beautiful, the place is very cinematic, the song is also good and is my top playlist.

The White olive tree

Highly recommended, in my country very popular, has been hot search and top 1 for more than a week. The story is very good, the acting of the male actors is very developed, the chemistry... Very suitable for the female protagonist. They are very sweet. I watched the making-of footage where they were very dedicated to this drama. That's why his character is so loved, maybe we don't even find such a character in real life. The male lead is so good, he can change his emotions and facial expressions so quickly, it's painful to watch him battle his ptsd. He seems to really have it, and yes but he still manages to smile and be nice to everyone.The acting of the female lead is also not inferior, I cried when she cried, there was even a 3 minute scene without dialogue. But he was able to carry it very well.The background music is very supportive, very suitable for the drama setting outside China. There was one that really gave me the creeps. The title is White Olive Tree by the Budapest Orchestra, sorry if I'm wrong. The music made me fall into silence, and for a moment I felt the suffering of some people out there who experienced things like what was in the drama. Seeing how hard it is for them and the little ones. WhiteOlive Tree might be my favorite drama this year. Because there are many lessons that I can learn. Maybe for some people this drama is slow and boring, but every episode enjoys the epic momentum presented by this drama, you will get new meaning and perspectives in your life.

Wow I really like this type of drama, with a little romance. I like the heroine song ran.Her acting made me carried away, she doesn't talk much and act. But she can bring all those expressions from her facial expression. Yes this drama may seem slow to some, but I personally feel that it is common for romance. Some romance movies also have a bit of a slow pace. However, some scenes actually benefit from this, for example the shots of the ruins and the main character with the little child. Such dramatic scenes require a bit of slowness. In order to create the desired atmosphere. Some romantic scenes that involve just looking at each other are very sweet in my opinion. And then for the songs used to be very suitable, I listened to several songs that also had not appeared in drama scenes. Some songs really make me sad and I think of those who have experienced that for real. Overall I really like it all, it's just that some scenes use cgi fortunately it's not bad. But it would be nice to use the original atmosphere.

Try watching

Still ongoing but from the start I liked it, it was satisfying.Oh yeah, I've been a fan of Chinese dramas for a long time, I was previously a fan of Korea. But now I like Chinese dramas.It was through Bailu Jie, Chen Zheyuan, Dylan Wang, and Estheryu. They're my favorite.I recommend this drama to you guys. This drama is really cool, it brings up the topic of humanity, but the romance is also very very sweet.

Nice cinematography! I also love the portrayal of the explosion while Song Ran was on live broadcast from the hotel's rooftop. It was excellently executed. Great job!

Drama ini diluar ekspektasi ku. Tidak sia sia saya menunggu drama ini tayang. Kamu hebat Yuan . Terimakasih juga untuk liang jie dan dan semua pemeran kalian sudah bekerja keras untuk drama yang sangat indah ini. Aku yakin banyak orang yang setuju dengan ku.Drama ini menghadirkan cerita cinta romansa yang begitu menyentuh, menggemaskan dan mengharukan. Kedua pemeran berhasil membawakan karakter dengan baik.Alur cerita yang tidak monoton mengajarkan tentang kebaikan dan kemanusiaan. Drama ini merupakan produk yang jauh lebih baik daripada beberapa drama militer China sebelumnya. Disini cerita nya sangat lengkap dari berbagai sudut, konflik tidak hanya sebagai penghias romansa seperti drama militer sebelumnya. Diantara nya saya menonton my dear guardian, firework of my heart dan you are my Hero. Serta beberapa remake drama Korea terkenal dari Thailand dan Vietnam. Ya disini semua mendapat porsi yang sesuai, bukan cuman kisah romantis toko utama. Sekalipun begitu mereka tetap bisa menonjolkan keuwuan pemeran utama lewat tatapan mata aja udah baper njir.Kedua banyak sekali momentum dalam drama ini yang membuat jari ingin mempause dan mengulang adegan. Dimana gambar dan shoot yang membuat kita merinding dengan hubungan antara manusia. Lagu latar, saya tidak meragukannya vibesnya sangat baru dan berbeda dengan drama China lainya. Seakan ini sebuah film dan sangat masuk dalam suasana.Dan ya ini juga mengingatkan kita akan beberapa negara yang menjadi korban peperangan. Kita belajar disini dan berdoa bersama agar dunia damai

Saya heran dengan beberapa orang yang memberikan rating rendah. Mereka terlalu bodoh dan mungkin membenci Yuan. Ayolah drama ini sangat bagus, bahkan lebih baik daripada drama militer China beberapa sebelumnya. Seperti my dear guardian yang menurutku terlalu serius, tidak romantis. You are my Hero yang katanya remake dots juga sangat biasa. Menurutku the white olive tree ini yang bisa bersanding sejajar dengan DOTS dari sekian banyak drama mirip dan remake bahkan dari Thailand ataupun Vietnam. Akting Chen GE sangat bagus aku jadi terpukau dan jatuh hati . Ayolah bantu drama bagus ini jangan memandang sepihak.

Watching this felt like the book had come…

Watching this felt like the book had come to life, every scene unfolding just as I had imagined. Their first meeting—caught between life and death—was intense, the kind of moment that lingers. Personally, it’s kind of understandable why she developed a crush on him afterward.

Very very good drama, in terms of story, acting, plot, music. Please..... You should watch it and don't forget to support this drama. The first episode already made me fall in love and smile to myself. I even went back to watch this. And I am willing to subscribe to VIP Premium. This drama reminds me of descendant of the sun. Only the story is more beautiful the white olive tree. You know every minor character is packed with details of their background. Liang Jie and Chen Zheyuan's acting is beyond doubt. The only military romance drama that can compete with Korea's DOTS. And yes, I have watched several Korean remakes of dots before. Both from Thailand and Vietnam and China my Hero. However, the only one that can bring the romantic Drakor vibes is twot. Chen Zheyuan deserves this award. He has repeatedly shaken up the overseas market in China.
