Actually there are so many republican period dramas which also might be part of propaganda for CCP.
However, most of them are good for me. This one is a classic republican period drama however acting is very good.
The story line is classic, ended by main lead joining CCP and recover from illness, injures etc..
And The restauration, struggle between the war lords are very good points plus not portrayed as the negativity of the History but rather out of trend of period.
Acting is very good except that Dr Jin Yurong has not cut her rose long nails - it is inconvenient to see a Doctor is doing bandages with long nails - the director should have told her to cut long nail.
Otherwise i enjoyed the drama and happy ending.
Both Main leads acted really good!!
