Sparrow (2016)

Almost same situation as insects awaken & eternal wave but the lead couple, one is single guy & a married woman(fake one). Warning, if you're not a fan of the actress, you probably a fan of either actors or a fan of this kind of genre to complete this series coz I'm out.

Both drama have the same vibe where the story is revolving the spy during that era. Theres a scheme, manipulative mind, revenge and just a lil bit of romance involve.

Both shows are dramatic and thematically poignant. They both give a kind of nostalgic, dark vibe. Both are full of intrigue and beautifully shot. Both are script wise strong and have a cast that you'll love and both are super bromance heavy and I loved the humor in both.

Police officer Pang Hong Mei amid the many obstacles created by U.S. and Jiang spy agents, rescued Ji Danyang, a patriotic scientist who returned from the United States from the enemy spy. She accompanied Ji Danyang to Lumen City to participate in the "Water Drop Project". Enemy special forces formulated a sabotage plan codenamed "Operation Rock" and concentrated their forces and tried to destroy the "Water Drop Project." Pang Hongmei and Ji Dan Yang fought a life-and-death battle with enemy agents in Lumen, thwarted the enemy's conspiracy, protected the "Water Drop Project" and finally achieved the expected success. The couple who went through the test of life and death, also realized their dreams and firm ideals.

Both are about a female undercover agent from the Chinese Communist Party ; both are gripping stories (although Sparrow meanders around a mysterious file) and both pay much attention to details filmed.

Espionage drama with 1941 era setting background. The main lead go undercover as Japanese agent. The danger of playing between 2 parties is the main theme of this drama.
