Love in Flames of War does have a captivating story despite the constant misunderstanding in the romance and a questionable female character. So, if you are open to more heartbreaking romance and see lovers’ suspicions and misunderstandings as normal, then this would be a great drama to watch. But if you see the quarrels as never-ending and pointless, this will become frustrating. I think you really need to enjoy Republican era dramas to love this because of the tragedies that are often depicted in that time setting. It is different from City of Streamer whereby the focus is on revenge rather than war and romance. It also doesn’t have the wittiness and schemings found in Fall In Love. Instead, Love in Flames of War has that typical message of patriotism with Japanese aggression being an important part of the plot apart from the romance. With war, comes deaths and separations, and the drama has plenty of those. After watching Love In Flames Of War Republican era Chinese dramas. This is the sort of role that Shawn Dou would fit into, suave army officer, separated from love, tragically reunited but conflicted. Hhmm... I wonder if he naturally gravitates to this kind of role? I've seen him in Princess Agents, Legend of Xiao Chuo, Tears in Heaven, and now here. They seem to have that kind of similarity.
