Heard the war in episodes 18-19 was believed to depict one of the Sino-Vietnamese conflicts back in the 1950s…
Every movie a country makes about itself is propaganda .Weirdly , no one seems concerned about being misguided by American films, for example. It’s only a problem when it comes to non-western countries, I guess
Look, I love XZ and I can admit that he's the only reason I started this drama, but I don't really understand…
With all due respect, no one is obligated to like other actors just because they are in the same drama with their fave . It is normal to only support someone you actually like. And if someone doesn’t like other actors, it doesn’t mean they “discard” those actors’ work. People may just not be interested in it, that’s perfectly normal. I am up to episode 29 and there are at least 10 episodes where we barely see GYY. Nothing was fixed except for the billing issue. I don’t agree that others have the same amount of screentime and we just don’t notice it. There are actual stats of screen time for all actors made by someone and -surprise- GYY doesn’t have the same amount as the other protagonist. It’s better to allow people however they want to feel about it.
( Elaine Zhong) JNZ is the heart of this drama, she is really shine
She’s literally my least favorite, self-centered, protected and pushed by her daddy and behaves like a whiny teenager when she’s supposed to be around 30 yo. Even Gao Liang is doing better than her in the new episodes, his character has growth (or rather an abrupt change but so be it). Elaine Zhong is pretty but her character is uninspiring to say the least
I don’t think they will kill him off. And I doubt they’ll let a talented commander like Gu Yiye just retire. He has an old wound from a shrapnel , I guess it acts up when he’s stressed
Man this drama really likes to tell, rather then show. So now Gu Yiye says that apparently he and JNZ drifted…
I almost agree. They should have showed more of the transition. But the “drifting apart” was quite obvious in the drama. And that they were always on a different wavelength. Also the fact that he always kept in touch with A Xiu , she sent Gu Yiye food and they talked to each other in letters. And when Gao Liang told him thathe should love her, Gu Yiye was already starting to develop feelings for her. So idk, their bond many years later doesn’t comes as a surprise😅 But it’s a shame it wasn’t shown a bit more. The real surprise is JNZ suddenly being in love with Gao Liang. There was nothing to indicate she ever felt this way about him in previous episodes. In this regard, GuYiyexXiu have a much better arc than Gao LiangxJNZ. Sorry, writers, but I just don’t buy that she loves him now. It feels that they were put together because they are male and female leads, don’t understand where the sudden feelings came from
I just watched the first episode, found it boring, dropped.I usually love watching military and political dramas…
It’s ok, maybe it’s not for you or maybe you could give it another try later. This drama starts as a story about young recruits’s growth, the war&military stuff comes later. And there’s no politics in it, except for maybe internal army issues
I saw some snippets of this and I was planning to watch it for the 2 MLs but, after reading the latest comments,…
I say watch it! The problem is that some characters are so great you can’t get enough of them and wish the drama would show more of them 😂 And if there are sorts that you find boring, just fast forward. It’s not a perfect show but it is definitely worth your attention, some episodes are so great I rewatched them multiple times
JNZ is going to have to be the one to pursue GL He is fearless in battle but timid to love of his lifeShe confessed…
I feel like this is some other GL, not the one we saw in the first 25 episodes. The drama suddenly changed his whole character setting and it feels weird and fake
Don't you know? This show was heavily edited after it was filmed. A lot of GYY scenes were removed in order to…
I am also inclined to think Gu Yiye and Gao Liang were supposed to be double male leads from the beginning. That’s probably why they gave him his position back. They only forgot to uncut his cut scenes. Cause looking at his screentime now it feels like there’s less than what a 3rd lead would usually get. I am so saddened by lack of GYY in the latest episodes, I am afraid if the trend continues we will get 5 seconds of him in the last episode. I still love Gu Yiye a lot, he’s my favorite Xiao Zhan character now.
I would say that the drama is constantly shifting its focus from love affairs in a military set to military training…
There are not bts or comments from the directors or writers so far about the characters’ motivation. I think whoever wrote the script simply isn’t good at writing relationships and the patchy editing made the situation even worse. Cause yes, Gao Liang does come off as petty and jealous when he pursues JNZ but later they depict it as some sort of love of his life. I happen to like arrange marriages trope lol There aren’t many of them but there certainly are people who dislike the idea of Gu Yiye and A Xiu being together. While I think she as well may me his one and only, you know, they just need time. Releasing the cut scenes would equal to admiring they butchered Gu Yiye’s plot so I don’t think they will ever do that.

It does make perfect sense cause Gu Yiye is the emotional center of the whole drama even after all the edits. He’s the tortured soul who was supposed to overcome bullying and who represents the moral dilemma personal desire vs.duty. That’s literally main character arc. Looks like Gao Liang was supposed to be his best friend sidekick either second male lead or double male lead. Gu Yiye was definitely not supposed to be 2 male lead. So it was either first or double at least. Xiao Zhan was signed to the project first + the fact that Xiao Zhan was filming a month longer than the other guy + Xiao Zhan was first billing when the drama was gathering investment. Anyways, at this point it’s obvious Gu Yiye’s plot was cut mercilessly. They wanted to step on the actor but they only hurt the drama in the end. And he is still the one carrying the whole project. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot lol
she likes gyy and gyy likes her, but they're not meant to be together 🥲 you will see it later
Huh? Are you ok? 😅If you are having a bad day, I hope it gets better. This drama has had a lot of controversy surrounding the billing and the position of male leads to the point that the officials had to issue a document forbidding manipulation and billing fraud when signing up leads for dramas. This was also arguably the reason why the drama was refused by CCTV.
I am simply sharing official info since you seemed confused. Won’t do that again, my bad
