I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

It does stick to its genre of being ROMANCE, COMEDY, HISTORICAL and MILITARY!

NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT!

Well, where to start. hmmmm.

[The Story]
YOU ARE SO GONNA LOVE THE PLOT. Its about a woman pretending to be a guy for the war. She became a war hero so when she revealed to the emperor her real identity, she was pardoned. After knowing she's a woman, the emperor took this chance to marry her off to a prince. This prince is quite opposite to the girl. Their roles here might be a bit reversed however, from time to time, you will see the main girls feminine side bought out by the guy and you will see the guy's manly side bought out by the girl. They complete each other's personality. In the entire series, YOU WILL LOVE the development of the characters relationship. One good thing about this, is that it's not just about the two of them but also how they contribute to their country and how that contribution helped their character progress in time.

[The Ending]
Well, the ending is good but not THAT satisfying. Just finish it and find out for yourself. DONT WORRY, YOU ARE NOT GONNA REGRET IT!

The OST also deserves an applause! It makes you feel SO EMOTIONAL! The song makes you cry out of nostalgia... It makes you feel like the main characters are real people from legend..Their love really feels so real.
[P.S. The main guy sang it too with some other singer which is not the main girl]

Speaking of legend, they kind of remind me of the real ballad of Mu Lan. The main girl is Mu Lan and the guy is her lover. The series really does make you believe that the main characters really were legendary lovers from the past, like they were actually part of history and that you can still feel their love resonance to the present. Watching the series makes you feel like you were back at those ancient time too.


Will I re-watch it? I already did for the 4th time already AND I WILL AGAIN after I finish the rest on my list
Do I recommend it? YEAH! OF COURSE!!! GO WATCH IT NOW!

Don't drop midway or you will regret it!

I'm here after finishing the series to say a few things.

I REAAALLY RECOMMEND IT.

The way the drama makes you feel confused about the characters (on which side you really support) is amazing. The actors are really talented to make their characters transition to someone really detestable to someone very likable and vice versa. It also makes you confuse on which ship you should pursue but in the end, it will eventually lead you to the correct pairings and be satisfied with it.

There is romance and comedy in case your wondering. The main character "YE YUANAN" - you are SO gonna love her, her personality is so adorable and she really has cute facial expressions. The romance between the main characters in the first few episodes might be lacking and not convincing, BUT dont ever drop the series because of it - just be patient and eventually in the second half YOU WILL BE FANGIRLING SO MUCH (well, i did). The ending ... you can discover yourself. DON'T WORRY, YOU WONT REGRET FINISHING IT :))))))

From the review of others ^^... I didn't have any issues about the plot being confusing AT ALL. It was well organized but there really were some invention imaginations that were forced like flying with a kite (but that's it!) (nothing to do with the plot).

The first half might be a bit boring for the main cast but the second half will cover up for it all. You just need to be patient and give careful attention to the plot or you will get confused like others (honestly, I still don't get why other say its confusing - the plot was really really easy to catch up with)

Will I Re-Watch it? I already am re watching it for God knows how many times already (but only the episodes with scenes that I like)
Do I Recommend it? YES! YES! YES!

Honestly, this is my FIRST EVER Chinese Drama AAAANNND because of it - I COULD'NT STOP WATCHING CDRAMAS ANYMORE!!! I GOT ADDICTED TO IT! (That also sets a warning to you all if you don't want another thing to be busy about on your list)

Im writing this review not immediately after I watched the drama, im writing this 10 dramas after. So my impression might be a bit biased already since I didn't write exactly what I felt after watching it.

So here is what I liked about it.
1. The main guy is so handsome, he is like a fairytale prince that you can't get your eyes off
2. He and his friends are so funny together
3. KO is soooooo boyfriend material
4. The game concept is reaally awesome

What I don't like
1. The main girl has a boring personality and really needs a sandwich (the antagonist even seems to be more interesting)
2. One of her friends is just plain annoying, her acting of being a naughty noisy friend is SO forced
3. The PLOT is sooo slow and not satisfying, romance scenes were barely there
4. If there were romance scenes, its the common ones you might have read in romance novels (e.g. wattpad)
5. There are so many cringey characters, especially the antagonists

HONESTLY, I don't even understand how I came to like it.
Well, credits to the CASTING FOR THE MEN though.. Their acting is so good and they have good looks to ;)
The men were able to cover up for all of the negative in the movie. Especially Xiao Nai and KO.

Okay, I might sound shallow for just watching the drama because of the handsome guys but come on, IT IS TRUE that they were the only thing good. They covered up the lacking parts in the series with their acting and making you believe that it is a nice romantic comedy series.

Why I was hooked up with CDRAMAS after this? (even after claiming that it isnt a good one)
Well, I came to like the Chinese idioms and I also like their series concept where they narrate what the characters are thinking. This also introduced me to a bit of ancient china SO THATS WHY the following 10 dramas iv'e mentioned are all historical ones. :)

Would I re-watch it? NO
Do I recommend it? YES if you're into handsome guys and NO if you're into plot
