What was good.. and what was not
Having watched the whole drama, my opinion flipped a few times as the story speed kept changing, I wonder if someone else experienced the same.
The story
The story of hardship and overcoming the odds and the history could have been told more successfully in half of the episodes.
The story line was probably the weakest element in the drama - followed by charters development. More is more is more is not a good strategy in my eyes. You tire the viewers (I know a few people who gave up watching it); it was a constant repetition of the same! The back drop changes a bit, but not enough to keep you hooked and wanting to keep watching.
The notion that you can pursue a woman to this extend and she will eventually be yours is a bad backbone to any story I’d say!!!
Strictly followed by the communist propaganda - oh, yes, I can see it clearly - cheap, basic and made by a template - it’s just like I was watching a Russian film circa 1978!! The attempt to mix emotions and political agenda failed in my eyes.
The Acting
Good - but falls in the same category, the same characters, the same roles - the only evolution I saw was his father.
The OST - probably the only worthy bit in the drama!
All and all, would not recommend to waste the time on it.
