Before watching this drama, it is recommended to understand the following background knowledge, otherwise you may not understand the plot

First turn to a few articles, it is about the historical data of the play, after all, the characters appearing in it are all famous real characters (or prototypes) in American history. So I don’t know what the plot is if I don’t look at the relevant information.

need to remind you that the people here are definitely not anonymous punks like pheasants or Cheng Haonan, but the same level as Du Yuesheng. They were all famous figures of that era. At the time, the American media Karma is very developed, so there are many records about them.

This drama is a historical drama produced after careful historical data research, and it is by no means a plot created by a braided script.

The following specifically talk about a few roles
1.
The prototype of the male number NUCKY NUCKY is Enoch Johnson, and its English wiki page is as follows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_L._Johnson
is just like a play in the real American history Said in the article is a corrupt politician + gang leader. At that time, NUCKY was so powerful that he dared to sell alcohol publicly in Atlantic City, but in the end he was caught by the IRS (the tax department is very powerful)

2. The second male JIMMY's best friend AI (ie Al) was a
lot of people. I feel that the plot of this drama is boring. I spend too much time on some of the secondary characters. I often "snap the house" and don’t have the taste of "The Godfather" at all. Among them, JIMMY and his best friend AI are more condemned. Wandering outside, the career passed.
In fact, the main reason for this idea is that they don’t know who the AI ​​is. In reality, AI does have its own people, and its name is far superior to all the people in the play (don’t be surprised, it’s true), although many people see it now. I think he is just a little brother, in fact, in the years to come, he will become the most famous black boss Al Capone in the history of the world.

So the so-called dull plot about him in the play is actually the history of the future "New Underworld King".

3. One of NUCKY's opponents,
many people in Luciano were impressed by the black boss who jumped out from nowhere, because his wisdom and domineering, and the many attacks he planned posed a great threat to NUCKY. In fact, this person has more backgrounds on the screen than everyone else, because the old godfather played by Marlon Brando is the prototype of him.

So, it’s best for everyone to add some knowledge and watch again. This drama can be regarded as an introduction to American cultural and historical knowledge during the Prohibition Period.
