Independent Female General
The drama is terrific. The cast was well chosen and encompasses all the details you would want for each role. From the start of the story, it captured me and made me anticipate the plot that would follow. For those who love to watch strong female leads who make great impacts, this is definitely the drama for you. The female lead has to relive and go through immense pain and struggle to make it back to her position as a general, as her brother and father tried to get rid of her. Originally, she was forced to take her brother's place to train and become a general, as her brother was weak. However, when her brother came back, they blinded her and tried to kill her. Fortunately, she survived and planned to regain her glory. Step by step, she worked hard, eventually reclaiming her title as a general. Along the way, the tensions between her and the male lead were both irritating at times but also really fun to watch. Their love story developed over time, which was kind of like the female lead fell first, but the male lead fell harder for her. A really good thing about the plot is that there are lots of flashbacks that show the interactions between the male and female lead during their early years in school, when the male lead believed that she was a guy. Though there were misunderstandings along the way that caused their relationship to be broken apart, ultimately their affections toward each other ended up inseparable. Clearly, the story was REALLY good, so I rated it a 9.5. The only part of the story that was a little disappointing was the ending, which did not show how some of the side characters. In my opinion, the supporting characters played a huge role in enhancing the story as they added humor into the story. Once again, the cast was absolutely amazing, all the scenes were acted out very well(even the embarrassing ones done by the female lead or some other awkward scenes). The music, though, is definitely worth praising. The intro music to the drama was exceptionally beautiful and matched the drama very well. Additionally, one of the songs was sung by Zhou Shen, which was also really nice to listen to. In my opinion, the rewatch value is definitely lower than the first watch because you know most of the plot, which makes it less interesting. BUT, I do recommend rewatching the most memorable scenes. Overall, this was one of the better dramas that I've watched, so definitely recommend :)
