I just watched the first episode of this series, and paused before watching the second to read reviews and, now, to write this. I think the show is remarkable--for the script, the acting, and the pace of action and dialogue. The naturalness of the performances, all of them, struck me, as did the surprising shifts in rhythm, as so-called "storylines" are introduced. The nitty-gritty of politics in this moment of instant communication is represented in an almost thrilling way. So too are the tactics and strategies of political calculation. As another reviewer said, people and ideas and interactions are brought on so thick and fast that it's hard to adjust to-but that's just one of the things I found admirable about the direction and photography, not to mention the script. After watching a day in life of a main character, I was exhausted when she got home!

As a Taiwanese, I am extremely proud of this show.

We are a very new country where the country was still under martial law just 36 years ago, and now our democracy is fully bloosmed and people can speak freely what's in their mind without worrying their safety. Wave Makers shows the world the energy that democracy has brought to the Taiwanese society, at the same time, perhaps also reminding those politicians, in order to win, after getting the power, have they achieved all the promises they made?

The actors are brilliant, and the story line is captive and make you think about more in terms of how election and politics make a difference to our life.

This is the best Taiwanese show ever, a must see.

It's hard to imagine such a show, they didn't point out the structural part explicitly, but they have been telling women's stories dutifully, maybe a little old-fashioned revenge. But it's all reproduced by women, those more Close to the actual victim's perspective, "repeatedly open the video website to see if there are any photos of yourself, Let's not forget it like this. Kingmaker? No,Queen maker, these subtle statements really represent changes that can be changed strength. Change is not a world smashed by an axe, but a change of gradual compromise that will wear away the rocks. They are full of compromise and helplessness, but they still seem to be asking themselves "What is your original intention for governing?" What is your original intention? It seems that almost no one here asks this question anymore. We have no strength, no rights, and no voice. To be heard is a gift, so how dare we stand up and question what we believe in? "If you want to know how to really understand yourself, you just run for election." This sentence seems to represent their ability and helplessness. Who would expect a good change in the democratic system? None of us have this kind of confidence. Human beings are full of uncertainties, and the democratic system is so fragile that it is necessary and indispensable to tirelessly question and hear the news and all censorship questions that may have nothing to do with the ultimate goal. But compared to other citizens, it is an adventure for me to even watch it. It relatively shows another possibility. The political education we receive is obedience, acceptance and praise, or how to use policies to come up with countermeasures. But no one seems to want to be a wave maker, but a refugee behind the iron walls of the larger system. Too tired, too tired, no confidence, and no one will be given the heroine's last confidence "I want.... legislator, mayor... who knows?" Who knows? Even this sentence who knows is a luxury, we know what the future will be like, we know, we know clearly. This is the most melancholy and sad place.

This is a program that brings you behind the scenes of what it takes to get a political candidate voted to office. The guy is soft and no backbone, but the lady is strong minded and determined. The rest of the cast was okay. They kind of looked alike especially the women but I am not complaining as they are very attractive. I wonder though if China would get offended by this type of program. They should realize that it's just entertainment. Any way not really much to say as it was only 8 episodes I believe and that was the best part. They were able to complete an entire story without stretching it unnecessarily. This is what a good series should be like short and to the point.

As a Chinese who is living in Mainland China, I really love this series which provide me a different Chinese world.

Unfortunately this show is banned in China and I had to use BT to download it and watch it privately.

The plot is not actually more routine, but it is also very novel for mainland Chinese people, after all, we can't really participate in elections here.

Purely from the point of view of film and television, the most I can give this drama is 8, but considering its political significance, I will give this one 10.

The issues involved in this, such as LGBT, and bureaucratic corruption, are very need to be addressed in the mainland, it is a pity that there is nothing we can do, but envy the Taiwanese at home.
