Guerra de Fe

Accustomed to watching simple romance or fantasy dramas whose plots border on the trite and boring, comes War of Faith with its intriguing plot and superb performances.

We have our humble hero embodied by the young Actor Wang Yibo, who is notorious for the enormous growth he has had in his performances after standing out with his unique roles in the cinema. We also have his mentor who will have a lot to do with his development, in addition to other characters that bring that richness of interaction that is rarely shown. Not to mention the display of scenarios so vivid that they transport us back to the time. The director has achieved an exceptional job.

War of Faith is a really interesting story. It tells the story of Wei Ruolai and his path from a naive but passionate young man to a slightly mature but still passionate man with strong principles. Hs struggles between his ideals and his delusions is riverting and resonates with the audience. As a story with espionage, the pacing is just nice with full of intrigue and makes you eagerly waiting to watch what happens next. It is also funny and I love the relationships between the different characters in the story. Great acting from Wang Yibo, Wang Yang and the rest of the cast. Beautiful photography too.

The drama started off with the narrative of Wei Ruolai, a mathematics genius who isn't doing so well and was trying to get into working at the Central Bank of China. There he met Mr. Shen Tunan, the boss of the bank, who saw potential in him and later became his mentor. The theme of this story is based around the time of the conflict between the Kumingtang and Communist Party while also dealing with a bit of the Japanese invasion.

The drama then follows a series of unfortunate events and how Wei Ruolai was able to climb to the top despite the country divided and assisted in helping his nation.

So far, the drama popularity is gaining tremendous reviews on the plot, acting, cinemgrapghy and directing. A great quality drama.

I finished War of Faith today, and I have loved it. The acting performances were top notch. The pacing was fast but not rushed. I had been a bit worried that it would get bogged down in the financial details and the historical aspects, but it never did, and I still understood what was happening and why certain actions were important. The deaths (and there were many) never felt contrived. The drama made you care about the characters by making them three-dimensional, not just sketches. Very impressed with the director's skill in bringing the script to life. Wang Yibo was terrific as Wei Ruolai. His performance was noteworthy because he had so many highs and lows, yet it was never like a melodramatic performance. Wei Ruolai felt real, and Wang Yibo himself disappeared into his portrayal.

Due to my limited knowledge of the Republican Era in China, I went looking for more info because it was such an interesting drama. If you want to see an intense, compelling drama that will keep you glued to the screen, watch War of Faith. You won't be disappointed.

I've been in a major drama slump lately and have started and dropped so many dramas because so many of them just follow so many tropes that I'm tired of. I saw a lot of clips from War of Faith on social media and heard it was going viral domestically so I decided to give it a try. I ended up getting hooked! The subject matter was interesting and the pacing kept me engaged throughout. The cinematography and acting are phenomenal! Everything really brings the time period to life and I felt so immersed in the drama and the characters.

I definitely have to give a huge shout out to Wang Yibo and Li Qin. This is my first drama I've watched of Wang Yibo and I was so impressed by his acting. It felt so natural and he really put the heart and soul into his character Wei Ruo Lai and really brought him to life. His interpretation of his character to show his growth and journey really had me invested from start to finish. He's one of the most effortlessly endearing and inspiring characters I've seen in awhile. Seeing Li Qin in her role also really impressed me because I've only seen her in one other drama as a minor role, but she was really able to shine here! Her portrayal of her character left a lasting impression on me.

War of Faith is definitely worth all the hype! Give it a chance and you'll be drawn in too! It doesn't have a romance plotline or the aesthetics of costume dramas but it really delivers to those who want an engaging story and a cast that actually delivers.
