Not my style
There is no doubt as to why this series averages such a high rating. It depicts the historical settings of the battles at Changsa with great production quality and an abundance of great supporting actors. It also does a good job in portraying the individualism with many characters. The first few episodes drew me in right away as well as the charisma of the main family.
However, while I enjoyed the FL for her acting and her character initially, her and her twin brother's spoiled ways really doesn't sit well for me. The first scene to have irked me was when the brother ran away to join the army (the first time) when he stayed over at a woman's house. She kindly let him in to have water, etc. and then happened to get killed by Japanese invaders. There was zero reaction from the siblings from what should have been their first close encounter with someone getting killed and they simply continue to act foolishly and risking their own lives but worse of all... other people's lives. The series wants the audience to chalk it up to them being raised and spoiled by a well-off family and simply immature because they are young. But I can't imagine even grade school children acting this way during a warring period. Nevertheless, I patiently waited for that turning point when they showed growth and development with every tragedy encountered.
While there was some growth, it didn't feel natural or impactful enough. The FL still continues to have others dying for her because of her thoughtless actions. Even with the concept of her being desensitized to the environment, she doesn't seem to have any self awareness.
The romance between the FL and ML are also not very natural or fitting and the series does what many others can't seem to stop doing, creating way too many forced "coincidental" situations for the couple. Additionally, while Wallace Huo is good-looking with charm, have yet to really see great acting from him. Kudos to the Xue Jun Shan character and actor however. He is by far the most developed and complex personality in the series.
