Outstanding Actors Support a Mediocre Script
The mediocre script does not do justice to the acting talent that came together in this drama. Chen Zheyuan, in particular, is an outstanding actor bringing depth and sensitivity to Li Zan's character while provoking your raw emotions at the horrors of war and the resulting PTSD suffered by soldiers and victims . The storyline however meandered too much and there were episodes where I was tempted to switch away altogether. A better script may have won Zheyuan a best actor nomination, but the mediocre script probably tanked his chances.
