i was a little reluctant to start this drama for the longest time because i'm not a huge fan of dramas set during this era. it was released in 2014, and i've only decided to watch it in 2019 as i was reminded of this drama after watching yang zi from ashes of love.
this drama is so bitterly sweet and heartbreaking. i loved everything about it and did not regret shedding tears with the characters on their journey for survival and victory. it was really realistic in terms of storyline, as well as the portrayal of diverse characters during the times of the war. i checked on duoban and it has a rating of 9.2. that's really impressive for duoban. i later found out that this drama has the highest rating on duoban until it was bet by nirvana in fire by .1. IT TOTALLY DESERVES IT. i think this is a good drama for international viewers to watch too because it depicts the kind of hardship that the chinese had to go through for them to stand where they are today. yes, they still have problems in their society, but what shaped them as a country now was a result of these kinds of wars. this is the same for every other countries and culture.
i especially fell in love with xiang xiang's brother-in-law. i felt annoyed at him at first, but when you sit down to fully see his character and the reasoning behind his corrupt actions, it was all for survival and his family. it differentiated him from other traitors because even though he was a corrupt officer and even though his temper was always bad, we can't deny the fact that he loved his family and that all of his corrupt actions were to protect his family. this was oddly the sincere way of loving and showing love to your loved ones. this was quite realistic because sometimes it's just easier to go with the flow of things for survival than what was right, especially during wartime. a nice comparison to why his character is so great would be xiang xiang’s father, who does not agree to xiang xiang’s brother-in-law. although the father is a righteous man, he cares too much about pride and integrity, which is actually an issue within the chinese community in those times and the ancient. despite showing love for his family, i felt that he cared more about himself because he was protecting his own principles too strongly while xiang xiang’s brother-in-law was willing to embarrass and lower himself and beg for survival through his corrupt position.
i think it was a clever idea to add the clips of the hu family smiling in the ending. it gives you this sad but sweet feeling as if bringing closure to your heart, and then it gives you the sense to move on and live with life even though you've lost your loved ones.
never thought that i could love a war drama...i think wallace was amazing in this drama and it's safe to say that this is his best drama to date. i would give this drama a 9, but i cut it down to 8.5 because it makes me really sad with thedeaths of characters, which was unavoidable because this is a war drama...
