Keeps you on suspense till the end
Maybe, in this drama, the most interesting thing is the chemistry between the actors and how relationships develop. Friendship, love, rivalry, betrayal, patriotism, hidden identities, heroism, undercover agents missions within the Japanese Headquarters : Sparrow is all about these. It’s also about the path you take in life, real love, affection, brotherhood, ambitions and sacrifices to idealism.
Adopted from a novel, this drama is very well staged and directed. The casting is just amazing ! How good Li Yi Feng (Sparrow/Chen Shen) and Edward Zhang (Head of Japanese special forces) are together in this brotherhood relationship ! There is great chemistry, you can feel the two character’s deep affection even when they use each other to achieve their ends. I was eager to know how this relationship would end !
Edward Zhang’s acting is really accurate, just as Yin Zheng’s (Su Sancheng). Su Sancheng is very ambitious and clever. He wants to gain power, unfortunately he is also a psycho, the one you would dislike the most in this drama. Well done Yin Zheng, no one can stand your character !
If Sparrow is above all a series on the espionage of the Japanese invaders in Shanghai during the Second World War, it is also about love. I will just mention the two characters in love with Chen Shen. One is his first and only love, Xu Bicheng, the other one is the so-called « buddy » actress Li Xiaonan. I really liked all the moments where Li Yifeng and Kan Qingzi (Li Xiaonan) were on screen, there was such a great chemistry maybe because of the actress skills or her lively character, I don’t know. There was something stronger and more appealing when they were together than when Li Yifeng was with Zhou Dongyu (Xu Bicheng). I really hoped Li Xiaonan won over Xu Bicheng. Her character is so much more interesting and strong than Xu Bicheng’s. To me, she is this drama’s real heroin, protecting Chen Shen all along.
The ten last episodes are really great in actions and suspense… It’s thrilling : I rushed to watch each new episode and was never disappointed. Last two episodes aren’t easy to watch, you may get tensed… fearing a bad end, hoping for a good one !
Released in 2016, Sparrow is a timeless quality series, you will appreciate the characters, the acting, the script , the plots and the sets. A good production, a good show to watch, and re-watch.
