This is one of the best shows I've ever watched. Totally captures the zeitgeist of the time well. They do everything so well from the direction, the comparisons of Pingjun to the canaries and the flowers, the camera angles, the tension build-up, the side characters, the military plot, the set design and costume. Everything is beautiful and amazing. Feels like I'm watching a show with x100000 budget. Cheng Lei and Xu Ruohan have insane chemistry. Have to give the flowers to the side characters too like Cheng Lei's parents here and Tao Ziyi who stole the show in Episode 19 when she was crying about her engagement. Amazing. Love how they show how life was during the Republican warlord era, then the war against the Japanese. I don't think I've seen a CDrama do this so well. Cheng Lei is insanely good in this show, I think this is his best work yet. Must-watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best Republican CDrama I've watched!!!!! Cheng Lei is at his best!!!!!!!!!!! Story is on point, direction is on point!!!!! The set design!!!!! The history fan in me is in awe!!!
