Mestres Da Tropa (2021)

Enjoyable Military Drama, Must Try!

Ace Troops 8 episodes are out uptill now. Gu YiYe (aka Xiao Zhan) & Gao Liang (aka Huang Jingyu) with other boys are recruited as new trainees in a military institute. Drama is showing how ordinary boys with different backgrounds go through drills and tests daily to develop into military man! Same time we also have Female new recruit trainees team too.
Xiao Zhan's acting, voice and handsomeness is damn 100/100 that one cannot move eyes from him when he is on screen <3. GYY is ambitious and wants to prove himself and his future vision is to contribute in making army strong as whole. He is nerdy & intelligent boy who does everything in scientific and technical way, full on top student vibes :D xiao zhan looks so hot as brainy military man. Overall xiao zhan acting is top notch and satisfactory. GL character is funny and carefree who adds funny vibes in drama, same with other boys.
I liked the obvious sweet & innocent budding love between GYY and Nan Zheng {aka Zhong Chuxi, new female trainee (female lead)} and funny third wheeling of GL. Yes we have love triangle :)).
All senior commanders are great and doing solid acting. Drama is based on old times military institutes. Overall, drama is going at good pace, as it's still at initial stage where boys & girls are in training phase pulling stunts everyday, it's excites one to know what will happen in next episode and what they gonna face next.

Gu Yiye a winner

This military drama is surprisingly enjoyable. Gu Yiye played by Xiao Zhan is an interesting and very endearing character. He’s smart, brave, righteous and driven to achieve his goals. Although kind-hearted he doesn’t back down from a fight (especially with Gao Liang - played by Johnny Huang Jingyu the other male lead). There’s a ruggedness and masculinity not seen in Xiao Zhan’s past roles that is very attractive. He had lots of chemistry with Elaine Zhong Chuyi (Jiang Nan Zheng), Bai Lu (Hu Yang) and Mao Lin Lin (A Xiu). There’s a sweet youthful romance, an intense male rivalry and struggles of military life. The dreams of young soldiers are forever changed by adversities they face and tough choices they make. The development of a true Ace Force requires tough training, real battles and sacrifice. I found Gu Yiye’s determination, perseverance and responsibility to be heart-warming and inspiring.

The storyline becomes is a bit disjointed in the last ten episodes (probably due to post/production cuts). The final drama delivered is not as good as it could have been, but every scene with Gu Yiye is worth watching. Xiao Zhan delivers a phenomenal performance as Gu Yiye.

A bonus is the beautiful ending song “We Used to Be Together” sung by Xiao Zhan and Tan Weiwei. Plus Bai Lu’s guest appearance and “bite” in Episode 1 is precious!
