Superb Fighting Scenes!
Superb Fighting Scenes!
Normally, before I make my own review and feedback after finishing a drama, I read some reviews first to see if I’m on the same page as other viewers. But when I checked the reviews for this drama, a lot of people were disappointed. Some even rated it 4 or 5/10. Maybe it’s because I didn’t read the novel, so I’m not sure if the adaptation gave justice to the original story.
The story is about a girl forced to pretend to be a boy/heir in a family that wants to earn merit and rise in status. She later joins the army, gains achievements, and becomes known as General Feihong. But things change when the real son/heir of the family returns.
The drama itself is good. At first, I was taken aback by how she disguised as a man, but her actions toward her commander were different — she did some cute, sweet stuff. If you look at it from the POV of one man to another, it’s a bit awkward! 😵💫 But once he found out she was actually a girl, it made sense. 😅😆
The story isn’t that deep — it’s easy to follow. There isn’t much power struggle, but there are twist after twist after twist. 😆 I thought my favorite character would be Chu Zhao. Yes, he was just a pawn of the main villain, but he managed to get out of it. I thought he would turn out okay, but then he got obsessed with his ambition and with He Yan… so he became bad again! 😂😂😂 Another character that stressed me out was the emperor. Like, what the heck? He wasn’t ruthless like other emperors, but he was so easily manipulated — that’s a big no-no! 😂😂😂
For me, this drama deserves an 8.5/10. It’s okay overall — the chemistry between the ML and FL was good, and the fighting scenes were superb. The second leads were just so-so. Honestly, without the amazing action scenes, this drama would feel flat.
But I love that it shows: even if you’re a woman, if you have the dedication to pursue what you want, you can achieve it — even if it goes against the norms of your generation or the law. Laws and traditions can change as long as you stand for what’s right and just. Gender doesn’t matter. And most of all… it had a happy ending! 😉☺️
