It is a Republic of China spy drama directed by the famous Hong Kong director Yuan De and co-starring mainland super popular idol Fu Xinbo, famous Korean actress Han Caiying and warm man Zhang Liang.
The sudden and mysterious death of Shen Muzhi, a business tycoon in Shanghai Beach, has left a huge legacy and a mysterious treasure legend, and many forces have swung their swords, making a dispute seem inevitable... Shen Shuhao, the eldest young master who had been missing for three years, suddenly returned, turned the tide, helped his nominal wife Shang Wanting to clear his suspicions, and smashed the conspiracy of his cousin Shen Yue to usurp the family property. However, what stopped Shen Yue was not the real Shen Shuhao, his name was Zhou Dingyi. The most distant distance in the world is not life and death, but Zhou Dingyi stands in front of his former lover He Mulan, but He Mulan thinks he is Shen Shuhao...
As the first time that the popular young student Fu Xinbo singled out the main beam as the male protagonist, he played the two roles of Zhou Dingyi and Shen Shuhao in the play, which can be described as facing a huge test! Among them, Zhou Dingyi is deeply involved in the hatred of the country and the family, has a strong insight, and has a meticulous mind, he has a mission, pretending to be his half-brother Shen Shuhao, into the Shen Mansion, and opens a poignant and sadistic love with Shang Wanting, played by Han Caiying. And Shen Shuhao is the official heir of the Shen family, a "domineering president" type figure. It is the complex character relationships that fill the audience with curiosity.
Fu Xinbo once said, "The character I play in the play has a variety of identities, he is not only He Mulan's obsessive lover Zhou Dingyi, but also Shang Wanting's beloved husband Shen Shuhao, in the face of Shen Yue, who is fiercely fighting for family property and the gangster business war, he must choose not to retreat." Fu Xinbo's understanding of the character helps him switch smoothly between the two roles, especially in the face of the emotional changes of the two heroines, giving the audience a feeling that although complex but not at all prominent, through this interpretation, Fu Simbo not only proved his strength to the audience, but also won the praise of many parties with his excellent performance.
Korean actress Han Caiying personally customized more than forty sets of gorgeous costumes from South Korea in order to play the role of the heroine Shang Wanting, which shows her importance to this character. As a result, we can see in the play that all kinds of enchanting dresses, various vintage handbags, various colored headdresses and jewelry have become the carry-on of this sexy goddess. The role of Shang Wanting is vicious and aggressive, but Han Caiying admits that even if the role he likes is scolded by the audience, it is worth it. But in everyone's opinion: this heroine is not a virgin first, she has both a fierce side and a little girl's side, which also confirms that Han Caiying is still very plump and three-dimensional in terms of character shaping.
Actor Li Xinai plays the female second He Mulan, she is trapped in the emotional vortex of Fu Xinbo and Zhang Liang (playing the cousin Shen Yue), one is the lover of Qingmei Bamboo Horse, the other is a good man who is obsessed with himself, and the three of them staged a sadistic love story. Shen Yue, who seems to be debauched on the outside, has a vicious and vicious side, and a sad and soft side. He will do whatever it takes to get revenge, but he treats his brother and the woman he loves dearly. His bad and affectionate are two sides but can be unified, the audience will see a different Zhang Liang in the play, but also will like this character image that is both good and evil, especially admiration for him after falling in love with the beautiful He Mulan, he can even give up the fame and fortune he is chasing; in addition, whether these characters are good or bad, but the spirit and belief in the face of the invaders are also very touching.
This Republic of China spy war drama, the plot is ups and downs, the characters are full of personality, the story is fascinating, and the narrative is promoted by a rhythm comparable to that of the American drama, and always runs through the main line of searching for mineral veins, increasing the strength of suspense setting. It is worth mentioning the wonderful fight scenes in the play, the director of the play, Yuande, is one of the members of the famous "Seven Little Blessings", although the image is not bad, but the people are the lowest-key, the audience may not remember the many dragon set roles he has played, but must remember the wonderful action scenes in the films such as "Scorpion Warrior", "Letter to Daddy", "Ma Yongzhen" and other films as a martial artist, and the action scenes in this play also maintain the consistent standard of director Yuande.
"Love in 1931" was filmed in 2014, and the following year Han Caiying also served as the heroine of Liu Yunlong's spy drama "Odds of Victory", and it was precisely because this drama was filmed a year earlier than "Odds of Victory", so it was fortunate that it was not banned at that time, but the drama still did not get the opportunity to be broadcast on the star. This is also the reason why there are not many viewers who have seen the show today. Overall, in addition to the costumes, scenes slightly fashionable, out of touch with reality, the actor's acting skills and plot settings are still good, especially the actors' performances in many harsh environments in the play and fierce action scenes, have shown a high degree of professionalism, which is also incomparable to many so-called traffic stars at present! So, if you're in a famine, it's still worth looking for.
