Wว gร osรน nว the stress and tension will grip you almost immediately. Very strong writing and directing that gives the actors a platform to properly show their skills.
I really appreciate the places where they inject some levity. War is no joke but the Nazis of Asia are no match for people who have a higher calling than their own individual gratification or need to dominate others for material advantage.
The whole world owes a debt to the 450 million Chinese people that resisted Imperial Japan, 35 million of whom gave their life as the ultimate sacrifice.
This drama is truly working my last nerve. After each episode I feel I need a damn drink ๐ ; the writers really know how to write tension that feels like a tourniquet getting tighter and tighter around your heart.
Yu He Wei knows how to choose a script that will allow him to demonstrate his mastery of the art as an actor and Ailei Yu consummately plays a villain that you will fear and despise equally till your dying day.
It really drives home to you the enormous sacrifice tens of millions of Chinese people made to liberate their country from fascist imperialists, and why the struggle must continue until the last inch of Chinaโs territory is finally united as one civilisation, in the fullest meaning of the word.
So for those who have started this, how is it so far?
So far I find it watchable, appreciate the injection of humorous light heartedness as the world is too heavy right now, but unfortunately the writing does not sparkle.
Iโm so glad the poison needle is what was needed to kill the Gu worms and I was more than pleasantly surprised at the end to see Jiang Hu enter his family home piggybacking Ye Hu all the way there. Round of applause to everyone involved ๐คฉ๐ฅณ๐. Eight rounds of applause to the entire team ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ

But I like to savour good dramas so Iโm pacing myself
Someone has kindly added the historical context for people struggling to grasp the wider significance of the investigations and plot points
Killer and Healer does this much better and youโre in no doubt how deeply they feel for, understand, are committed to and in love with each other.
I also enjoyed Realmโs Night Rain immensely; one of my top BLs of 2025
