Nothing makes sense; complete fanservice
Man, this series is really overrated. For the the entire theme to revolve around a female general, one would think they'd put in SOME effort to make it even the slightest bit realistic.
-- The FL has on the most ridiculous disguise when she pretends to be the son in the family.
-- The FL is so feminine in both the facial features and physique that it's quite comical for them to showcase her as a hardened war hero. She doesn't even look like she worked out a day in her life.
-- The FL/ML grew up together apparently but despite his superior "observant" skills, he never knew she was a female? And even worse, when her brother replaces her in court, he couldn't tell at all that it was an entirely different person?
-- They didn't bother even attempting to rationalize the height differences, how she manages to fool her fellow soldiers when sleeping together in the barracks or showering, etc.
-- In the hot spring, the half-naked ML who is also supposed to be a hardened war hero has baby white skin with zero scars. Then the FL apparently is able to hide her gender while naked with him AND fighting because she create some bubbles with her hands?
The plot so far by episode 3 is also still ultimately lackluster despite its seemingly high budget production. It's also quite sad that some series base their success off of just pretty people. I'm Chinese and I'm starting to not be able to tell the difference between these actors because they choose similar looking men/women with the same old played out makeup and features. Is this how shallow society has become - where looks override real talent? Quite disappointed because there are some actors here that I do like from other series and it's particularly appalling for them to not make any efforts to make this FL believable as a war hero/general.
