i love this article, it summarizes shen tunan's character so well (spoilers for ep 23 and beyond) https://www.163.com/dy/article/IUNOT43U0552SX1T.html and we can deduce why he is at the "dark" side on the official drama poster.. the recent eps have really revealed his true character

also it's in chinese but maybe the machine translation can still be understandable

none at the moment

i have a feeling the drama will cover upto when the communist party takes over china and overthrows the kmt government..but that still happens in 1945 so 🤷🏼‍♀️

at a loss of words over just how GOOD this drama is like im so gagged

idk about yall but i'll take any "propaganda" so long as it is anti imperial japan 🥱🤷🏼‍♀️

also dir. kong sheng + daylight ent. + ww2 era + xz = a lethal combination for me it's everything i wished for i hope he gets this 🍰

ep 21 is my favorite ep so far.. lots of comedic moments and lighthearted scenes im actually pretty scared lol it feels like the calm before the storm...

cant remember exactly bc i watched it all in one go but it should be around eps 13-15 if i recall

he appears when the central bank is involved and when he decides to antagonize wrl which is from time to time, but not much. i find lin qiaosong more annoying and he does appear a lot

no he doesn't get any better

im finally caught up with the recent eps and can i just say that i absolutely am loving the buildup and development this drama has showcased so far...the pace didn't feel slow at all and there's always something to look forward to in the next eps... perhaps that may be the charm of republican-theme spy dramas 🤷🏼‍♀️

anyways, we're turning to a major arc, i can feel my fingers drumming in anticipation 🙈🙈

put a spoiler tag please...

on ep 15 - i find it kinda funny how the prisoners immediately adopted wrl as a xiongdi/brother even tho they beat the shit out of him when he first entered prison.. best believe they'll be a big help to him in the near future, i find this kind of found family trope endearing

🍉 xiao zhan

yeah it will be forced atm also bc they barely even have scenes together... it won't make sense at all. but i think they'll be much closer when wrl finally joins the ccp (with the influence of sjz, if im reading the summary right)

i know romance isn't compulsory in every drama but it will be an absolute waste if there won't be anything going on between WRL and SJZ like why waste such a potential chemistry...

but we aren't even halfway yet so i'll be patient i guess 🙏🏼

he doesn't have a fiance, he only said that to shoo the girl away. he's clearly lying

then do it, i'm pretty sure others will follow suit like no one's stopping you... no need to be this pressed 😂

i like characters that are the wei ruolai-type... may seem weak on the surface but definitely knows how to use his brain, esp when it comes to dire situations. i just finished ep 8 and the way he saved himself, oh i was a little mindblown like that's my man

i am definitely enjoying this, the thrill it's giving me is just *chefs kiss*

we are still just at the beginning, i'm pretty sure ML will have a character development esp when *SPOILER* he finally joins the CCP

lets be patient

when did the name change to 追光者? i didn't even notice 😅 but cctv uses that one. searched it on douban but a different drama comes up instead

i do wonder why some cdramas tend to change titles last minute...
