Don't waste your time and energy for this drama. Action pack but very repetitive script.
In the Name of the Brother is a Republican Drama set in the 1940s about espionage, where an undercover communist person infiltrated and worked under the Secret Service to deliver Japanese plans to the communist party.My Reviews:
1. The acting could be better, and the story could be more varied and engaging. Instead, it is repetitive.
2. Yang Mi's character is the head of the secret service who works for the Japanese regime, but her team is incompetent yet brutal.
3. It is an action pack. It is an upgrade from the Chinese standard for espionage and the republican-era genre.
4. Qin Hao played the twin brother characters, spies for the communist party. The older brother, Song Zhuo Wu, is more brutal and daring, whereas Song Zhuo Wen is calm and calculated.
5. The story is so repetitive, dragging, and boring that it could be better if it were cut short by 10 episodes.
6. I like the hairstyles and the costumes that Yang Mi's character got to wear in this drama. They are exquisite and nice to look at.
7. Yang Mi did her best acting job in this role for a couple of episodes where she showed some emotion, but she was stern, cold, and tough for the rest.
8. I watched up to 30 episodes, and I wanted to give up. I did not continue with it for 3 weeks. I wanted to see the ending, so I watched the last 10 episodes at 2x speed just to see the ending.
I could skip 31 through 39 and only watch episode 40.
What a disappointing drama. Don't waste your time and energy with it if the Republican era is not your genre. I give it a 5.5 rating.
