Are we watching the same show?
I feel like I'm watching a different show from the rest of the reviewers.
Let me start by saying the story, production, costumes and music are all fantastic.
However, there are two bad actors I can't see past. One is the female lead and the second is the male support role (Chen He Yi).
It really feels like the male lead is carrying the whole show. He's the main character you get any emotion and chemistry from.
I understand that the FL plays a hardened general but that doesn't mean she needs to be stoic 99% of the time. She has like 2 expressions, and doesn’t give off chemistry or sparks. This is not acting.
I have to say the same about CHY, the male support. This happens to be the third drama I've seen him in (Perfect Match and The Princess Royal are the other two) and he always disappoints. Little expression, and many times even seems to just deliver the wrong facial reaction in a given situation.
It's really a shame because the story is good but it needed a few cast replacements in my opinion.
