I'm surprised no one thought of this yet, although it is an older drama and newer international. CDrama fans may not know it. It's a very similar premise and Xiao Zhan's character reminds me of the role Zhang Ruoyun played! I hope this series won't be as tragic as Sparrow, though...but I know that hope is silly considering the time period.
This is also very nice republican era based drama ......planning of communist party for throwing away japanese army....Hidden undercover identity of male leads in both.......................................................................................................................................................................................
