This was an amazing drama, one of the best republican era dramas I've seen. Most of them bore me, but this kept me watching without getting bored.
Zhu Yi Long is great in this role as Lin Nan Sheng. This is the first drama I've seen with him in it and I'm now a fan.
Tong Yao's character Zhu Yi Zhen was just ok, pretty much your standard FL in this type of drama. Rather forgettable.
Zhu Zhu as Lan Xin Jie was much more of an interesting character. She's one amazing actress, I've seen at least 5 of her dramas in the last year and she was great in each one. This was no exception.
Love Chen Mo Qun's actor, I really like his calm way of speaking. And he does a good Crazy Eyes. I thought Chen Mo Qun was going to be the baddie in this drama, but he's tame compared to Shi An.
If you're wanting to watch this for the romance, just know that the total interaction between the ML and FL is probably less than 20% of the drama. We know their feelings for each other, but very little of the drama is actually about the romance. This is true of pretty much any republican era drama though.
The ending was quite unexpected for me, I believe they changed it from the book ending.
This sounded so promising, but ended up disappointing. The cast is absolutely perfect, but the story was so typical,…
Agree, Lee Soo Hyuk was so underused in this drama. I wish his character had more interaction with Tak Dong Kyung, they're a good duo to watch, their banter was awesome.
i was team Joo Ik but after episode 10 I'm thinking they all need to go their separate ways. Joo Ik made a decision for her, instead of letting her and Hyun Gyu play its course.
This gives me Fearless Whispers vibes, it's basically the same story but just the mentor is from the opposite party. I'm hoping it won't take that long for the ML to switch sides.
Having seen the first 2 episodes, this drama is fairly easy to understand. I usually have trouble understanding republican era dramas that involve spying and many people from both sides, but they make it pretty clear here who's on each side. Many familiar faces in this drama.
Does anyone know why they only released 1 episode today? If they started on the 24th and only released on Mondays and Tuesdays, shouldn't it be 2 episodes per day?
