War of Faith

I have never watched a republican era drama... I have almost nil knowledge of Chinese history and i zero knowledge of capital market. That said.. this drama have all these aspects and i thoroughly enjoyed all 38 episodes. Each episode keeps you on the edge.

About Plot; The journey which began with the sparkly eyed poor mathematical genius, a 23 year old young boy called Wei Ruolai and his ambition leads to such a rollercoaster ride.

A very commendable mentor-mentee relationship which is the foundation of this story all built on their Mutua love and respect for each other and how it transforms over the years while both stick to their ideology believing that's what the people of China needs is the heart of the story.

I laughed, I cried, I had 6 people on my hitlist before 10th episodes.

This drama keeps the audience engaged ,where u feel for the characters, their pain their helplessness their anger feels like yours.

About Cast: Wang Yibo! What a commendable actor! Wang Yibo's interpretation of Wei Ruolai makes you root for him. You wait for his smile , you wanna slap the people who hurts him. He is that good! C-ent should be proud to have this young and extremely talented actor.

Wang Yang, Li Qin being the lead role in this series, they played their roles very well. Wang yang have that very polite intellectual who loves his family and his mentee and his country. He is the one who has to make choices most of the time and he has to fight the ones he love. Li Qin gave a powerful interpretation of young lady driven by the thought of doing good for her nation and she is ready to go to may extreme length for that.

All the supporting castes of this series played a very amazing role that each of them stays with u..

I can write a book about this story I guess and I will surely miss all of them!

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.

I really like this drama, with republic era style.

The plot of the drama is very interesting about financial strategy wars in the 30s era mixed with political interests in China.

Wei Ruolai (Wang Yibo), a financial genius who only wants to serve his country, is accidentally drawn into the war.

Shen TuNan ( WangYang) with his skilled financial strategies, succeeded in defeating his opponents who wanted to fight the government at that time, later he's become Wei RuoLai's Teacher.

While ShenJinZhen (LiQin) was actually a spy for the communist party who was trying to fight the government that time.

The cinematography is very beautiful.

The acting and visuals of the actors are very good. This drama is a must watch 👍

This project is masterpiece and rare in this republican era genre of Chinese drama. Plots and scripts are solid and interesting and intriguing till the end.

All characters are portrayed by amazing actors!!

Directing, cinematography, background music, theme songs, storyline with economic background, dialogues, acting performances are amazingly outstanding which I haven't seen in Chinese drama land before, as int'l audiences!! Wei Ruolai scenes are mostly deep and heavy but wang Yibo portrayed this character perfectly you makes it happen!!

---- completed all episodes now--- -natural color correcting without over skin-smoothing!!

Script is not slow and fast-paced and interesting plots.

->All casts are really good at portraying in their own characters!!!

-> this is about historical fiction drama, based on true event but not propaganda totally.

->Although this is republican main theme drama, int'l audiences will not be boring!!

There are strong chemistry between main lead characters and supporting senior actors.

We can see potential of script level after watching episode 1 and 2!

Firstly I thought this would be boring banker story, but now it is intriguing unexpectedly and makes me continue to watch next episodes.

#WangYibo portrays as Wei Ruolai character in natural way without overacting.

Wang Yibo is really talented in acting and we can see his progressive and improvement acting skills in his every new projects.

We can see his emotional scenes for his brother which is totally different acting performance with his previous others projects!

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.
