      Among a group of real elites, CJ is still the favorite

      CJ's actor said in an interview that every actor who participated in the filming of WW is proud to have appeared in such a classic work~~

      I was deeply moved by the scene where the screenwriters discussed the details in the late-night roundtable meeting in the extra season. To have such a group of down-to-earth talents in the entertainment industry is the source of my motivation for chasing 800 American dramas in the past 15 years~~

      Politics, history, literature, and society....

      S1E10 Veteran's Funeral

      The first time I watched The West Wing was in 2010. I watched it for about three seasons and thought it was pretty good. Then I got bored and stopped watching. The divine drama Yes, (Prime) Minister is right, what is less popular than a political satire is a film that praises virtue. I recently thought of this drama, and I was most impressed by S1E10, and I still feel sad when I watch it again. This episode is a Christmas special, and the theme is the legacy of the war: the survivors, the...

      miscellaneous

      Business and political elite dramas like this are super fast-paced and mind-consuming. Fortunately, I can keep up with it (with Chinese subtitles...) There are

      always some personal side plots of the characters in the drama, so that they can be richer.

      It really involves all aspects of the White House, the so-called glimpse of the White House. Including the work and daily life of the president and senior staff, this is the most wanted to see. It's a 24/7 decision....

      Characters by Alan Sorkin

      My overall feeling about West Wing is good.
          It just feels that the character created by Alan Sorkin is a bit paranoid and unreal. In fact, there is no such person in the world. He may want to influence the audience through TV series and let us work like gods.
      The protagonists of the West Wing are a group of political elites who work in the West Wing of the White House. They help the president win the selection and help him run the country together.
      Their ideals are lofty,...

      The White House Episode 10

      The plot developed to Leo 6 years ago as the secretary of labor, responsible for supervising drugs, but he was a drug addict, and had been to a drug rehab center for treatment. Evidence of the incident is in the hands of rival Republican Filidlin, who plans to release the information after Christmas so that Leo will resign, which would be a major blow to the image of the president and his government , because Leo is the head of the think tank, and can be called the "Zhuge Liang" of President...
