I do not usually watch dramas of the second world war as they are too painful. I watched this drama because I was mesmerised by Wallace Huo and the drama was very well rated. I must say it is a very well produced drama. Wallace Huo had very good chemistry with the lady counterparts in the dramas he had acted. He was terrific in the Journey of Flower and Chinese Paladin 3 which I had watched as well.

The plot and character development was fantastic. We see the different facets of the characters - the rascal died a hero, the immature grew up, etc.

The fire of ChangSha happened but ChangSha never fell into the hands of the Japs - but I can condone the inaccuracy. :) Some of the running and shooting scenes were not realistic although that of the war looks pretty well filmed.

Probably after watching this, I am not going to buy Japanese products as far as I can for a long while, in addition to not buying American products - half of Americans voted for Trump.
