FL was burden to everyone
I'm a die-hard fan of this combo and so far this is my least favorite from Ma Xiao Yu and Jin Zi both leads are delivers their respective role, the plot rushed at the beginning, and the pacing was off. Since this is republican drama, 9 of 10 always have bad ending and this drama included in majority of common republican drama.
SML is also very conflicted, his love is full of contradictions, and he keeps sending FL to her death. In the end, everyone helps the FL escape abroad with the intelligence. FL, from beginning to end, treats good people as bad people, constantly killing the ML, conflicted about whether she loves him, and then she leaves.
After watching it, there was hardly any plot, just a lot of chanting slogans, using one lamp to spread the word. None of the characters, good or bad, accomplished anything. Wait, SML killed the FL's parents. In the finale, he suddenly realized his mistake and died with them.
The script has a high theme about patriotism but a poor plot and the production lacks to make this plot conjoined with the premises. ML is restrained and patient, which is very engaging! FL is weak, constantly mindlessly killing ML. FL's sister is well-acted, very lifelike and intelligent. The whole plot can be summarized in one sentence: Everyone risks their lives to send the FL abroad. I felt like I watched nothing and the ending was no better. A drama with good acting, very patriotic, but also very empty.
Only for hardcore fans.
