I believe people in these parts discussing 'propaganda' can be using the term too loosely.I believe what you're…
Based on my research on this time period, the history from this period was horrific. I've read about Unit 731, the Japanese occupation, the civil war ending with the Kuomintang in Taiwan so the material is absolutely there for a story. But watching the show, it felt like a classic sanitized production to me. Like the ending was written before the story unfolds. It wasn't really about helping you understand the period; it was about making you feel a certain way about who won . Which ,yeah, AGAIN circles back to that term 'propaganda'. It's an endless cycle.
Like I do agree that it's a binary story for sure but it's the kind where you already know they've picked the winner or precisely the 'good guys' before the first scene even starts. But nonetheless, I liked it.
Btw I read you review on this and it was so well written. The insights were on point but I might have to disagree on one point which is the title. I think the title really says it all 'War of Faith'. It's less about what happened back then and more about what you choose to believe now. Watching from the outside, it can feel kinda preachy. But if you're the person it's meant for? Then it's a perfect story or in this case 'a perfect history'.
BUT I might just be overthinking it because I liked the show so much. I’m not part of making it, so I’m just speculating at the end of the day. But sometimes when something hits right, even the title just fits, you know? Maybe it really is meant for the viewer’s faith. Or maybe I just loved it enough to give it that meaning.
what happens after that and Does Fl forgives ML? and does Novel have happened ending?
A little late but she does forgive the ML and yes it's a happy ending. It's very well-written and the synopsis doesn't do it justice at all. I would recommend this novel if you're not just looking for lovey-dovey romance as this novel is a very compelling and contrast read from other books. It's just the author's style as well.
