Guerra de Fe

This is not necessarily my type of drama but I'm enjoying it. The story grabs you from the start. The actors are good, the story is amazing. Not 2d characters. It's always hard to find well written strong women and this show has them. Have your handkerchief ready your going to need it. But it's worthed. I cannot stop watching. Wang Yibo is amazing on it. I believe this is one of his best roles yet. The seinor actors are also amazing they work together to make this story amazing. If they keep the quality going I'm pretty sure this would be one of the best dramas of this year. Give it a chance you won't regret it.

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.

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.

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.
