It's a creatively refreshing Republican-era espionage drama. The production design is excellent, and amidst the backdrop of historical events and choices, it manages to maintain a consistent sense of excitement typical of the genre. The twists and turns in the details of the characters' identities are enough to pique one's curiosity. Han Dong Jun's temperament once again harmonizes perfectly with his role, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this storyline unfolds.

They face the complex challenges of human nature with unwavering beliefs and beautiful love. Throughout the series, there is a strong sense of national destiny intertwined with personal emotions, adding a profound depth to this espionage story.

What is the most exciting thing in playing cards? Of course, it's playing with open cards, where you know all the opponent's cards and they don't know that you know.
In the midst of raging battles and imminent danger, the worst part of that era's stories was not knowing how many cards the opponent had or whether their cards were red or black.
Once they were intimately close, but a bullet could accompany a kiss; now they are at odds, yet they find themselves intertwined amidst the blades and shadows.
Guan Xiaotong wearing black stockings, Han Dongjun in a suit— their story takes place in a period of history we are familiar with, yet at every turn, their story leaves us uncertain about the next card, whether it's red or black.
We only know that those people from the past didn't know what cards they held, whether the outcome of this game was a win or a loss, but they still joined the game with great enthusiasm.
With each passing scene, we see cards being revealed, and we will come to know what constitutes victory or defeat, what is black and what is red.

Guan Xiao Tong's portrayal of "Zuo Shuang Tao" and Han Dong Jun's portrayal of "Chen Jia Ping" create a flawless image of former lovers in the eyes of outsiders. They are like a perfect couple, while being caught in the midst of war and decisive battles. Their relationship is a constant push and pull, with hidden agendas and deception. This dual strength setup, combined with an atmosphere of suspense, presents a unique spy drama that becomes more addictive as you watch.

Started watching it immediately and it turned out to be unexpectedly good. Not only does it have exquisite costume and makeup, but it also captures the atmospheric ambiance of the era, transporting me back to the mysterious and tumultuous Shanghai of the 1940s. Behind the facade of Guan Xiao Tong and Han Dong Jun's "fake couple," the drama unveils the power struggles among various factions at that time. The progression of the intricacies within the enigma, as well as the simultaneous development of the hidden and visible plotlines, is incredibly satisfying. It's worth mentioning that Guan Xiao Tong's acting throughout the series is top-notch. She excels in both intellect and martial arts, showing significant improvement in her acting skills compared to previous years. Her portrayal of the challenging character Zuo Shuang Tao is completely under her control, leaving me deeply impressed. I highly recommend it!

Guan Xiao Tong's first spy drama showcases her fully equipped with a sophisticated temperament, and both she and Han Dong Jun portray dual A-level agents. The reunion of former lovers, their accidental coming together while concealing their identities, creates a strong contrast and raises the anticipation to an unprecedented level. It's difficult not to have high expectations for such a fantastic drama. With 32 episodes, it is substantial enough to ensure a rich and compact storyline. Without further ado, I'm diving into the chase tonight.
SilkenLord1 year ago rating:5.3
I barely watched a snippet and didn't feel like continuing. Guan Xiao Tong suggested going to kill a Japanese person to seize untranslated intelligence. Shouldn't untranslated intelligence be entrusted to specialized decryption experts for deciphering? And shouldn't it be immediately duplicated multiple times? If it gets stolen, they should give even more importance to this intelligence. Doesn't it have the opposite effect? The other party might not even have it on their person. It's just too amateurish.

The female lead starts off wearing black stockings and applying lipstick, and I was still wondering what she was up to, but it turns out she's going to the train station to assassinate the Japanese! I don't understand why her companion picked up that photograph. It's like handing over their heads on a silver platter. Is the photo really that important?
The espionage aspect of the drama is really childish, but I'll give it two stars because of Guan Xiao Tong's beauty.
Eva1 year ago rating:6.4
When the male lead proposes with a bouquet of roses, accompanied by a pop song playing in the background like an idol drama from twenty years ago, it's undeniably another romantic drama disguised as a spy thriller. At this moment, I firmly decide to give up. It completely dissipates any positive feelings I had towards Han Dong Jun with its pretentiousness, leaving only his deep nasal voice making me uncomfortable. The spy elements are portrayed in a childish and forced manner, with abrupt and absurd plot twists. Neither the male nor female lead seem to have fully immersed themselves in their roles, making it difficult for the audience to get into the story. The female lead has a beautiful face devoid of any sense of storytelling, and her acting is on par with shooting a music video, solely focused on showcasing her physical beauty on camera. The male lead seems to be playing with his daughter rather than being in a romantic relationship, and their love story is so awkward that it makes me cringe. Therefore, even the romantic aspect of this drama feels completely off.

Some things are unnecessarily mysterious, as if everything is just to highlight how amazing the male and female leads are. So much information, but they exchange it all in such a short time? The male lead takes a body out of the freezer, takes off his own jacket and puts it on the body, then throws the body down and climbs out of the window onto the wall outside, all in just three minutes? This world is truly insane.

Intelligence agencies, Japanese, and traitors are all so idle that they went to great lengths to prove that those two are spies, but in the end, they ended up killing themselves with their own designs?! Do they have a serious illness? I have such doubts. If they're so suspicious, why not just execute them secretly? Are they playing house? Shouldn't they ensure judicial fairness and have solid evidence?

The biggest fear in spy dramas is self-indulgence and immaturity. The slow-motion scene when the main characters meet was really not well executed... And what's with the scene of sniffing perfume through stockings? That's not what the audience wants to see, there's no need to cater to male gaze aesthetics...
Han Dong Jun doesn't feel out of place, and Guan Xiao Tong is doing fine for now. Let's wait and see with a three-star rating.

Two and a half stars. Essentially, it leans more towards being an idol drama. Many of the plotlines are truly absurd and lack logic, leaving people speechless.
However, this provocative drama's editing in each episode lures you into the next, making you curious and eager to find out what happens. Perhaps I shouldn't seek logic in this kind of drama.
After all, there is only one undercover-themed drama, but the dialogue between the male and female leads is quite good.
Sweetheart1 year ago rating:5.4
The plot of this drama is like a joke; it's been absurd from the very beginning. You have a photo of the person you're supposed to guard, yet instead of looking at their face, you're searching for a blind person and an artificial eye? What kind of bizarre logic is this? Identifying people based on their features by looking at a photo is basic spy skills, my friend. How did these people even graduate? And to top it off, you knew the other person had an issue with their eyes, but when someone with only one eye bumps into you, you don't recognize them? The audience recognized them, for heaven's sake. The deductions made by the left-handed character are even more ridiculous. Just because someone holds a bag with their left hand, does that mean they're left-handed? Take a look at how many women carry their bags on their left hand when walking down the street. Are they all left-handed? And that scene where they talk about poisoning, who told you that right-handed people can't drink water with their left hand? I was using my left hand to hold a blanket just a second ago. What a bizarre scriptwriter.

I watched an episode, and I was speechless. How come spy dramas have become more and more foolish these days? The photo of a crucial target being intercepted can easily fall out with just a light bump. I'm truly at a loss for words. And even if it fell out, once you've walked away, why would you come back to pick it up? Could you please use your brain a little? There's another thing. A disguised spy agency openly discussing classified intelligence in the corridor. Are they out of their minds? What kind of people are they? And they even join the spy agency despite being so intellectually challenged? It's unbelievable that some people still give it a five-star rating. Apart from praising the good-looking actors, there's nothing else worth praising, right?

Did all you espionage drama screenwriters attend the same training program? The character backgrounds and plotlines of the male and female leads are identical, it feels like a parallel world. The brains of the screenwriters must be connected, forming a human centipede mutation, a screenwriter centipede, with the same template passed down from generation to generation. If you put all the protagonists from your espionage dramas together, you could create a universe of espionage.

This drama made me laugh. Oh, episode six! Let's call it "Spy Couple" from now on! Fake couple, ancient couple, and our spy couple! I'm amazed by the creative screenwriting! Our Xiaotong's acting skills are really lacking. In several scenes with the male lead, she was not just defeated but completely crushed! There are quite a few bugs, and the antagonist Zhao An from the male lead's side seems to be overacting a bit. I'm amazed by our spy couple, truly amazed. It's like a fashion show every day.

Sincerity is an actor's greatest weapon. You have considered all the necessary aspects, have a deep understanding of yourself, and are willing to delve into the character, staying in sync even during difficult moments.

What is this? I really don't understand. Guan Xiao Tong's acting skills are truly hard to comment on, okay? And this is set in the background of the Republic of China, isn't it even more awkward for it to be so pure and innocent? If it were a modern drama, it might be somewhat tolerable, but I can't really watch this kind of Republic-era spy drama. Young people don't like watching this type of genre, right? The target audience is completely off, and they still expect this drama to gain popularity.

Typically, with domestic TV dramas, you can start watching from the fifth episode and still easily understand the plot. By the 11th episode, there's a minor climax that allows you to see the "acting" that those fan-run media outlets like to boast about.
The plot feels a bit like playing house, and it seems like the production team didn't intend to hire a relevant espionage consultant. It's a youthful romance drama where talking about love turns the revolution into a side plot. Both career and love are successful, so what's not to like?
You can think of it as a mishmash version of the domestic drama "The Smiths," except the action scenes are all performed by stunt doubles, so you can't see their faces.
The characters are quite one-dimensional, and they particularly enjoy emphasizing the romantic subplots of supporting characters. The drama is almost turning into a soap opera with all the romantic entanglements. As for the two main characters, there's a lack of chemistry between them. After finishing painting their newlywed home, they lie down on the floor for a rest, but their bodies are so far apart, yet they have to act like they're hugging each other. It's truly a challenging task for them.

Why are there so many five-star ratings plastered all over the screen shortly after it premiered? Are they all genuinely from real viewers... Guan Xiao Tong's original dialogue delivery is excellent, and her demeanor and eye expressions are decent, but I feel like she lacks the spirit of a revolutionary youth. She's only in her early twenties, so why does she exude such a strong sense of weariness? It's not related to her acting skills; it's just that the actress herself lacks vitality and youthful vigor. Her young face carries the weight of a world-weary soul~

I think it's quite enjoyable. Except for Tan Kai, I don't know the other actors here. Although I'm familiar with Guan Xiao Tong, I haven't seen her in any other dramas before.

The attention to detail in the makeup and styling of the female characters in this drama deserves applause. Madam Luo's clothing style is alluring and intricate, with a myriad of vibrant colors. Fangfang embodies a cool and elegant blue and white color palette. Han Lu, on the other hand, often showcases luxury through the use of velvet and pearl materials. And as for Taotao, there's no need to say much—her appearance exudes a hint of youthfulness amidst maturity.

A decent spy drama. Han Dong Jun's performance is really good, and I've noticed that the plot flows smoothly, compactly, and captivatingly when it focuses on Han Dong Jun's character. It makes you want to keep watching. However, when it comes to Guan Xiao Tong's side of the story, it becomes a bit messy and lacks tension and excitement. It feels like a pity to abandon it, yet it loses its flavor. In simpler terms, the male lead's storyline is about career and thrilling moments, while the female lead's storyline feels chaotic, involving character development, love, and career, giving a sense of confusion. I wonder why the director and screenwriter arranged it this way.
Lastly, Guan Xiao Tong's acting skills still need improvement, and her voice can be quite distracting.

The plot couldn't withstand close scrutiny, so it didn't receive a high score. However, there was one aspect that left a deep impression on me. The female protagonist sat in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau for half a month, while the staff speculated whether the man had died or not. Yes, he had died instead of running away. Suddenly, it felt very much in line with the historical context of that time, where human life was treated as insignificant as grass and weeds.

The Smith couple's reunion has a familiar taste, but the setup sounds impressive, yet the plot follows the cliché spy and undercover agent formula.

It's not a sophisticated espionage drama, and the character development feels rigid... After watching one-third of it, I have already lost interest.

Little did he know, after indulging in the gossip, Zhao An would put a hat on him. Haha!

This drama tells the story of an unexpected reunion between Zuo Shuang Tao and Chen Jia Ping, and the rekindling of love in the world of espionage. The female protagonist, Han Lu, portrays a highly anticipated film and television superstar. Not only does she possess remarkable beauty, but she also exhibits superb acting skills. She has captured the attention of Japanese officer Colonel Yamashita and has become his esteemed guest. However, fate brings together Han Lu, Zuo Shuang Tao, and Chen Jia Ping, who are assigned a mission to assassinate Colonel Yamashita. During this mission, with Han Lu positioned at the train station, when the gunshot rings out, Chen Jia Ping steps forward and saves Han Lu's life.

Lastly, Guan Xiao Tong's acting skills still need improvement, and her voice can be quite distracting.
Amazing, amazing! At first, I thought it was a spy drama, so I didn't have high expectations. But the plot is incredibly tight and exciting, and as a fan of details, I'm thrilled. There are also multiple CP (couple) storylines for those who enjoy romance.
The main actors' performances are top-notch, making it worth watching! Guan Xiao Tong and Han Dong Jun have great chemistry in the drama, it's hard not to get hooked.
The plot couldn't withstand close scrutiny, so it didn't receive a high score. However, there was one aspect that left a deep impression on me. The female protagonist sat in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau for half a month, while the staff speculated whether the man had died or not.
Yes, he had died instead of running away. Suddenly, it felt very much in line with the historical context of that time, where human life was treated as insignificant as grass and weeds.
The Smith couple's reunion has a familiar taste, but the setup sounds impressive, yet the plot follows the cliché spy and undercover agent formula. Many plot points feel forced and contrived, lacking depth. It becomes mere background music, with a predictable framework that can be seen through at a glance.
It's not a sophisticated espionage drama, and the character development feels rigid... After watching one-third of it, I have already lost interest.
Cheng Zi really cracks me up! I love his scenes with Zhao An. And the two-faced character is hilarious. He's never focused during missions, but once there's some gossip to indulge in, his eyes light up.
He adds fuel to the fire, afraid the drama won't be big enough. Little did he know, after indulging in the gossip, Zhao An would put a hat on him. Haha!
This drama tells the story of an unexpected reunion between Zuo Shuang Tao and Chen Jia Ping, and the rekindling of love in the world of espionage. The female protagonist, Han Lu, portrays a highly anticipated film and television superstar.
Not only does she possess remarkable beauty, but she also exhibits superb acting skills. She has captured the attention of Japanese officer Colonel Yamashita and has become his esteemed guest. However, fate brings together Han Lu, Zuo Shuang Tao, and Chen Jia Ping, who are assigned a mission to assassinate Colonel Yamashita.
During this mission, with Han Lu positioned at the train station, when the gunshot rings out, Chen Jia Ping steps forward and saves Han Lu's life.
