Wave Makers

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.

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.

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!

This Taiwanese TV series is really good to watch, and it touches on many issues that China cannot mention! Such as elections, lgbt topics, democracy, freedom! Why can Taiwan have it, but China can't? Because China has been a centralized system since ancient times, and you must obey the orders of your superiors and cannot resist! In fact, the entry of this drama on Douban in China is taken off the shelves as it should be, which is not particularly surprising! To be honest, the atmosphere in Taiwan is a realm that we in China will never reach! And we don't even have the qualifications to participate in democratic elections to be elected by one person, one vote! And the media is also controlled by the Chinese Communist Party! It can only be said that in comparison, it is really the kind of realm that cannot be reached! Hope to see more dramas like this! When Yajing was sexually harassed, her colleagues could stand up and accuse her! And also defeated his opponent, revealing that he was having an affair with another woman! Lin Yuezhen's prototype is Tsai Ing-wen. Really, the conversation and image of the two people are too similar. He Ronglang is Lai Qingde! It is a really great show which I recommended to everyone!
