Arsenal Military Academy Episode 7

6.0/10

Hmmmmm. So they're adding a connection between Guo Shu Ting [Deputy Director, Tactics Instructor] and Man Ting. Is he her real dad or something?

This episode was pretty fun and exciting! I spoke to soon about Yan Zhen as he rushes to walk Xie Xiang home. From there he continues to pester and look after her. Though he did really step up to protect her. He keeps coming out looking bad. Xie Xiang thinks Yan Zhen's harassment is going that extra step. But she has no clue about the real threat.

That said. Xie Xiang is a woman posing as a man. Her only true skills so far have been combat. Though now I'm wondering if they let her have hand to hand. I thought it was mentioned, but we only saw her with a training sword. Still she has the courage to pose as a man in the military, there's no way she'd be that cringey and scared. Not to mention cold. She was wearing layers and a jacket! I thought the drama was doing a decent job until all that nonsense.

We get to see Jun Shan be a good person. Xie Xiang is definitely looking up to him. Enough so that Yan Zhen is jealous. Who isn't quite sure what he wants from Xie Xiang. Jun Shan is facing the effects of his brother's gangster actions. Killing a poor sweet girl and 12 workers. Though I wonder why the girl didn't wake her mom.

Overall a really fun episode and I did not feel compelled to speed anything up. Plenty of laughs and great character chemistry.
