"I really wanted to like this show more than I do. The beginning started off strong but about 3/4 of the way through the focus of the show completely shifts off the protagonist, which was weird. The character arcs are also weak, not to say that the characters are not likable, just not well explored via the plot. That being said, all of the acting cast was phenomenal. Bai Lu did such a great job in this show that when I watched her in another drama, it felt weird seeing her dressed like a girl lol!"
"This is one of the best C-dramas I’ve watched!!! I loved it so much! The visuals are just so stunning that you genuinely feel like you’ve been transported back to the early 1900s. The storyline is so good with moments of happiness, and moments of complete sobbing. The romance between the main and side couples is so cute too! (However, if you’re into steamy romance and some sizzling kisses like me… that’s not gonna happen lol) The ending isn’t rushed whatsoever and is perfect to such an amazing story. Now if you’ll excuse me… I have to get over my show-hole. :,)"
"Great cast, phenomenal acting, interesting time period, costumes are INSANELY perfect. Dialogue, witty and charming. Story .. interesting and exciting. Leads.. gorgeous and funny. This is probably the best Chinese drama I’ve ever seen. I freaking loved this show. Warning. It’s long. So don’t expect to power watch it all in one go. #bestchinesedrama"
"A twentieth Century Mullan. During WWII after her brother dies a girl assumes his identity to enter the military academy he was going to enter. Unknown to her parents. Along the way she makes friends tries to handle a brutal training program keep her identity a secret and fight the invading Japanese. With lots of action fight scenes plotting and some romance. A great show."
