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.
