I'm writing this review because I'm incensed by the hate I've seen on this drama here, and I fear it may lead some to bypass this fantastic watch.
Some of the major discontent comes from..."What genheral, what legend? it was more like the romance of the female general..."
First of all, very sexist that a girl can't get it while toppling heads, severing limbs and shit...
Second, In my understanding, the legend existed, even before the drama started, right from the first episode. The general, He Refui, was already acclaimed and renowned. We got to watch her hard work and determination since she started out. Got to see her succeed and exceed in her family's expectations. We saw her journey in the Academy and the recognition that led her to get the twin sword. Saying that she wasn't really a general is just hate speech.
The drama focuses on her journey to reclaiming and owning her title, AS A FEMALE... it is the whole point of the drama, as the TITLE suggests. She went back from the start, worked harder, proved herself again, and again, and in the process, fell in love.
The legend of the female general doesn't show much of battles and wars, and all the gory details that come with the rank, at least not that much. But they show the rise, fall and rise again of a fierce,h ardworking girl. that she got a man in the end, doesn't negate all her prowess!!!!!!!!!!!
He Yan worked so hard; she gained recognition and respect from her peers, even after they found out she was female. Her reclaiming her legendary title is just icing on the cake.
That being said, yes, please watch the drama; it is a perfect blend of all the emotions you'd want to experience from a historical war drama. The love triangle doesn't want to make you pull out your nails, and the FL isn't nauseatingly dumb with a nasally child-like voice. The ML isn't some damaged psycho who gets a rushed redemption. I think the hype and wait were worth it.
Think Mulan, without the snarky, sassy dragon side-kick....
I waited till it finished airing, and watched it in one sitting while doing my hair, I'd watch it again.
P.S
Dudu can get it...
