This drama claims to be the first domestic folk kung fu anti-Japanese drama, produced by the producer of "Soldier Assault," Zhang Qian, with the screenplay written by Gao Dayong, the writer of "The Divine Doctor Xi Laile," directed by the famous Taiwanese director Chen Zhi-hua. It features martial arts star Wu Yue (a national martial arts champion) along with well-known actors such as Ren Shuai, Xu Huaihuan, and Gao Xin. The series primarily reflects the heroic stories of the people in the Yimeng mountainous region spontaneously resisting the invasion of Japanese imperialism during the Anti-Japanese War. A group of folk heroes, under the leadership of a wounded Eighth Route Army company commander who is in hiding among the people, forms an anti-Japanese guerrilla squad. Each member possesses exceptional skills, including the sharpshooter Eighth Route Army company commander Chen Shaodong, the highly skilled martial artist Xia Shijie, the acrobatic thief Shi Xiaoer, the super strong giant Shenma Dali, the flying knife expert Ji Xiaonuan, and the resourceful Yuan Hengli. This guerrilla squad operates adroitly, fiercely battling on the battlefield, behind enemy lines, and even at the heart of the enemy's territory. They boldly storm the Japanese army's headquarters to retrieve national treasures; they hide in Japanese military camps and successfully plan the uprising of the Huangxie army; they employ quick and flexible tactics to break through the siege from an enemy dozens of times stronger than themselves... They are active in the southwestern Shandong area, accomplishing one incredible task after another while delivering punishing blows to the Japanese invaders until the victory of the war. After watching, one is struck by the drama's spectacular and intense battle scenes, as well as a plethora of fierce martial arts duels and dazzling stunt performances. With martial arts champion and action star Wu Yue in the lead and also serving as the action director, alongside the heartfelt performances of the cast, the martial arts design of this drama is crisp and impactful, making the fight scenes extremely satisfying to watch. In addition to the successful execution of the fight and war scenes, the drama also brings forth many new ideas. The standout fight scenes owe much to the dedicated and daring performances of the leads; throughout the filming, no lead actor was left unscathed, and Wu Yue, who juggled both lead acting and action direction, was left with numerous injuries, shooting for up to 16 hours a day. He said, "I set a record of 84 consecutive hours without sleep. I was not fat to begin with, and now I've lost over ten pounds." For instance, there is a scene set in a restaurant where Wu Yue fought against more than 80 stunt performers, descending from the second floor to the first in a single continuous shot lasting over three minutes. Wu Yue mentioned that during that shoot, he suffered a fractured cheekbone and rib injuries, and as many as six stunt performers were hospitalized due to injuries. Watching such dedicated and powerful performances, how could one not be satisfied? It can be said that "True Heart Heroes" is uniquely creative in character setup and story arrangement, akin to "The A-Team," with equal levels of excitement. The thrilling martial arts confrontations in "True Heart Heroes" provide even more points of interest than "The A-Team." Historically, anti-Japanese themed films have performed well in viewership, and with "True Heart Heroes" incorporating elements of Chinese kung fu and an engaging story, it is believed that it will be very popular once aired.
