Plot holes and somehow immortal main leads

I'm unsure about this one, so many inconsistencies, inconveniences and plot holes. I was looking forward to this so badly as well.

1. She could never ever be mistaken for a man especially with her voice calling out in ep 1. In the military those soldiers would tear her to shreds because of how feminine and small she is. She also conveniently avoids the physical inspection somehow because of the horse incident what about the records, do they just leave it blank for her?

2. Not a chance in hell she could have recovered from a fatal impalement on a sword causing multiple internal injuries and internal bleeding. How the hell was she even recovered from the bottom of a canyon at the bottom of the riverbed?!!! How can you feel worried about the main character if there's no worry about her in dangerous situations?

3. The ML is always conveniently there to help her its so obviously not natural and written in. In ep 2 he even says he believes her to be the 'perfect' recruit based solely on how she handled a horse even though she is weak in all other aspects because of her injury. There are plenty of other recruits that look much more impressive but he singles her out.

4. That mask makes her stand out too much and would never be allowed, it also looks ridiculous and the silver version pretty much exposes her whole face anyway hiding pretty much just her nose.

5. The ML never recognises that her brother switched with her even though he's like a foot taller and has a completely different voice.

The good points:
The male lead is experienced and shows a great performance regardless of script etc.
