This drama is a total waste of potential with a Cheng Lei saving the show

While all the background and war context is captivating, we are absorbed by the plots around the armies conspiracies well orchestrated with a Cheng Lei delivering an outsanding performance as a ruthless but benevolent commandant. Even the secondary characters and developments give good consistency to the storyline. BUT it is completely rotten by the romance with the FL, who's character (and acting) is absolutely unbearable. Well, from her constant hard to get attitude with the ML behaving like a pussy-whipped I often felt uncomfortable .She keeps playing her run away from me and I'll follow you, follow me and I'll run away from you with a dumb ingenuous attitude, she ends being awkward, I just want to slap her. Examples of her toxicity are multiple along the journey, ie what the f***, after pretenting to be conviced being forever in love (which already took endless time) , she run away with a baby to born witout having a f***g word. So the guy is supposed to suffer and accept it without a word? And also involving the guy life best friend in her schemes creating between troubles between them.
This is a way too abusive behavior for my heart.
It is like a rollercoaster not of emotions but of irritation. How can we be pushed further to truly hate her more?

the only real thing to praise is Cheg Lei's performance who is stunning perfectly embodying the different sides of the character.

Past the middle episodes, the ending is better though
