what's more important love or nations?

for me killing me softly is really good drama! even though its a sad ending 😭💔 the last ten episode are the most touching and tear,jerking 😭💔 to add on xiang yichen secretly gathers intelligence,insuring humilation and hardship for many years,harboring great ideals and love that subly influence others.guan zulin starts off being forced unto assassination,but after awakening immediately becoming stead fast in her mission to spread faith through literature.the core massage is "light one lamp,pass it on to many , until all the lamps are lit".Xiang yichen and guan zulin represent countless patriots in turbulent times. and the plot i really like it they are soldiers and their sacrifice them lives they have a mission 😭💔 guan zulin 3 beses nyang gustong patayin si Xiang yichen 😭💔 yichen he love her so much 😭 pls watch this drama very nice story🙏 and Ma Xiaoyu acting superb 😭😍👏 the emotions the kiss you will feel it!he love her so much i'm so proud of you Ma Xiaoyu 😭👏💖 our versatile actor 😭😍👏👑✨🫶

FL was burden to everyone

I'm a die-hard fan of this combo and so far this is my least favorite from Ma Xiao Yu and Jin Zi both leads are delivers their respective role, the plot rushed at the beginning, and the pacing was off. Since this is republican drama, 9 of 10 always have bad ending and this drama included in majority of common republican drama.

SML is also very conflicted, his love is full of contradictions, and he keeps sending FL to her death. In the end, everyone helps the FL escape abroad with the intelligence. FL, from beginning to end, treats good people as bad people, constantly killing the ML, conflicted about whether she loves him, and then she leaves.

After watching it, there was hardly any plot, just a lot of chanting slogans, using one lamp to spread the word. None of the characters, good or bad, accomplished anything. Wait, SML killed the FL's parents. In the finale, he suddenly realized his mistake and died with them.

The script has a high theme about patriotism but a poor plot and the production lacks to make this plot conjoined with the premises. ML is restrained and patient, which is very engaging! FL is weak, constantly mindlessly killing ML. FL's sister is well-acted, very lifelike and intelligent. The whole plot can be summarized in one sentence: Everyone risks their lives to send the FL abroad. I felt like I watched nothing and the ending was no better. A drama with good acting, very patriotic, but also very empty.

Only for hardcore fans.
