Not so good
This is the kind of Cdrama that deceives you. You expect to watch a drama full of action, with epic fights, characters deceiving each other... but what we get is 36 episodes of pure boredom. The main protagonist never seems like a general; we don’t see that side of her life. The screenwriters chose to only focus on the bland romance with the other lead, whose acting I didn’t like. I know there are different acting methods, but this cold performance he presented doesn’t appeal to me. And throughout the episodes, we see several repetitive scenes that aren’t interesting and don’t even need to be there again. The parallel plots are boring and unnecessary, just padding most of the time. In my opinion, this was the worst Cdrama I’ve watched. The script is uninspired. If they just wanted to focus on dialogue, they should have done it better because most of it feels unnecessary and doesn’t move the plot forward. By the way, at no point does the lead actress convince you that she’s a man, which is another reason for confusion. Also, scenes that should have been emotionally charged were drained of impact at inappropriate moments, or irrelevant characters appeared out of nowhere to reveal some specific secret. Even at the beginning, there’s an absurd Deus Ex Machina.
