I am so happy to give this story a try. Episode 3 is so hilarious and so many symbolism. The musical scores are so well "designed" to each take. The Creation of Adam or of Man whatever religion one wants to look at was hilarious. And this prehistoric men hit a wall.
First episode and I'm in. Releasing 12 episodes of 40 minutes each all at once will be a roller coaster journey. Leads are unknown to me (well I don't remember them). I still want to support their acting which is good in this 1st episode. The casting department made a good choice in regards to the general cast. I am happily taken aback with the visual, the setting, the wardrobe, the props. Nothing is cheap. It's a high quality production. It's only a 24 series so I have hope that the story will keep its pace. The slight sense of humour is what I need lately. The actors are well directed in this field.
The 4th and last story Shen Shou - The World Artist. What an epic discovery of a woman who had plowed women's new path with her skilful hands. And like most successful women their second half shamelessly do all their best to grab all the credit because of their manly insecurity.
The 3rd story Princess Jieyou The Diplomat". No love, no affection, no empathy only a pawn for a "duty" task through out her life. Fortunately, historical records were saved and finaly transcripted for us viewers.
The 2nd story is a lesson learnt. For women to keep their hard earned success do they have to give up their soul, their motherhood, their dignity because of men's insecurity ?
Watched it at the time of its airing. So good was the acting that I dropped it due only to an adult female lead wasting her time, her life, her brain compared to over millions of women on Mother Earth fighting into life to be respected, to be of good exemple to other girls and women. Good production to show when a woman is spoiled how ungrateful she is to life.
No, she is not pregnant in real life, her character is pregnant so they have her dress in loose clothing. The…
I was not aware that she also went through a depression as I don't follow actors' personal life. I shouldn't be surprised looking at her acting schedule. This doesn't shy away her beauty. Thank you for your feed back.
1st episode and I am in especially because it is a 30 minute story and only 24 episodes. It gives me time to relax between heavier stuff. I know that school bullying and random slapping women's face are brutal and illogical but easy story to follow. Hope these bullies will get their karma soon enough to allow me to enjoy the story line. The casting and wardrobe departments as usual for a republican story do an amazing job.
Was Sandra Ma pregnant during this filming ? What a courage she took for accepting that role. There were some of her scenes in which there were so many tension and abrupt physical interactions, I was so scared for her. To convey anger during some scenes is a real talent specially in her condition. Hope she relaxed between those scenes.
I'm only half way through of the You""be documentary and noticed how alike the real American aviators…
last follow up of the day, I've just messaged you a link.
Forgot to add this You**be documentary is similar to your question about Italian cooperation. Your research will lead you to how and why this country lost its French and African territories in exchange to immunity and no trials neither for its leaders nor its civilians. It was a slap on the face for the French , North African, West Indies, African civilians and veterans that kept their faith till the end for justice.
Thanks for the compliments in regards to my watchlist yours is very interesting. I just started to update this MDL's list as I was, for years, on now banned former sites (Dramaf**** and the like) and too expensive Vi**y sites. Fortunately I keep my list and comment on files so I can refer to them every now and then. And that list back to 1995 is to long including few SK and Jdramas. I have a collection of DVDs C and SKdramas and movies, a few Jmovies. When I have nostalgia of feel like watching amazing cinematography I re-watch them such as the 1997 Cmovie Journey to Western Xia Empire, the 2013 Saving Gereral Yang, the 2008 Red Cliff. Thinking about this gives me the crave to go for a hunt and buy some more althouth they are so difficult to find. Sadly there are no more DVD stores in my region. I'll have to hunt into my Chinatown.
Happy Cdrama watching (I am so behind), evenings are too short.

Shall message you on MD shortly when time allows me today but not on Italian cooperation with Germany during WWII as your local library and the net have more documents on their implications.
I keep in mind that human's memory is selective and history is written by the so called "winners" or "monney grabbers". And to summarize your wordings there is no ending to wars as they attract another war that attract more wars. I dare recommend you a 1029 page book excluding its 100 page index that would take you by the hand on how some of wars are based on and the link are made into some wars centuries back and centuries later till now. First of all I am not a muslim neither am I dedicated to any religion whatsoever, so there are sections of this book that I skipped. But it is so well detailed, written that the Bible itself or whatever would blush. I warn you though, to some extend, it is frightening to read should you compare it to actual events. I am lazy so here is a short intro from Wikipedia: Title : Al-Muqaddima Author : Ibn Khaldûn (27 May 1332 – 17 March 1406) born in Tunis died in Cairo, was an Arab scholar, historian, philosopher, and sociologist. He is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest social scientists of the Middle Ages and considered by a number of scholars to be a major forerunner of historiography, sociology, economics, and demography studies.

I've just finished watching the documentary - with a box of tissues. Tlhks (not for the box of tissues) for the recommendation. I'll carry on with your other links. I am at the 12th episode of the The Guardians and 14th of River Sunset a little behind indeed. Will catch up this week-end. River Sunset is nesting oneself into the shoes of a non professional spy whose emotions aren't to be questioned and also the motivations of the invaders. The narrative of each story helps me once again decipher the complexity of human mind, heart, uglyness and greed over another human. Quite similar to the many Cdramas I watched such as Sparrow, Hurricane, Insects Awaken, The Disguiser, Battle of Changsha, Arrows on the Bowstring, Man's Inhumanity to Man, and so forth. I am aware that the japs were intrinsectly evil for other circumstances known only to them. I would never draw a line between the german nazzys and neither between the italian nazzys (no one dares talk about) by saying that the japs were worst because it is as minimizing what the germans did with the political collaboration of Mussolini, also as if minimizing what happened in the Goulag too many people forget. Evil is evil, the wordings worst of less have no place in a war. One could elaborate endlesly not only about this war also the inhumanity on the African race but it isn't the place. I lived in Gernamy for some years and heard both sides. I met elderly and their descendants that still carry the shame of their last leaders. I cannot make a conclusion in regards to the japanese elderly and their descendants as my encounter with them were through their litterature not related to the war. Sorry to say but I am aware of my destiny not being a descendant of the invaders. I talked to much...my apologies. Anyway this comment is only for you so whoever reads it I don't care.
For the history buffs, this drama is set against the backdrop of the impending Doolittle Raid after the bombing…
I'm only half way through of the You""be documentary and noticed how alike the real American aviators and the actors in this adaptation are. ..stunning. Gary Sinise's narration is so pleasant to listen to. See you around and once more thank you.
Ep 10 : I understand Ye Bi Ying's emotions when facing the japs...I really do. Her reactions are what is needed to raise the suspense and question some viewers...and Ning Chang plays her role (Ye Bi Ying) perfectly. Her performance makes my heart beat and the only sentence that pops to my mind is : "She is going to blow her cover".
On another note, this adaptation of WWII stories reminds me of the French movies covering that catastrophic period. To my point of view, what does make it so realistic are the addition of the American settings. I should elaborate by "realistic" that are other historical facts added through the lense of American implication. These American actors are doing a good job. I like the fact that their wordings are raw and not censored. I want to believe that this cinematography would attract more people to watch.

I'm at the 1st episode that I rated 10 and will go through the remaining 3 episodes.
Looks like a 2nd season might be on its way according to the end of the credit. Loved how the credit was presented.

Fire will eliminate Inoue. Hope earlier than the last episode.
Looks like another psycho made a magic apparition.
