Jen hsuan chih jen tsao lang che

An interesting political drama where we see a team behind a female presidential candidate working hard to get her elected. The campaign team includes strong female leads Ying-Hsuan Hsieh and Gingle Wan, with the latter having a dark secret concerning the male opposition candidate. It gives an insight into the workings of a Taiwanese election and the plot at times can be a little slow with the minor stories taking up time and going nowhere. The series definitely puts across the busy and creative side of an office deciding what should and should not be done in the best interest of their candidate. Overall a well acted drama but I would have liked more depth and development of characters.

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.

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.

I leave critics over all movies and tv series in douban. Since this show is banned in China mainland, i will rate here. The show is rated 9. It's not about complex political competition. It's about ideally human rights advocates, LGBT + METOO campaign and self pursuit to own dreams as normal being. Also the plots and the campaign scenes are at best close to real. I love taiwan series and am amazed by their new developments these years. I had not been to taiwan and long for a chance to make a tour. The social culture and atmosphere is close to mainland and leading+open while reviving from preserved tradition.

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.
