I had been looking for Xuan Lu's work for a while because I thought she was great in The Prisoner of Beauty and other past dramas as a supporting actress. She is beautiful in the cute girlfriend kind of way, and she is terrific in Historical dramas. She has the face and looks for the outfits from the past.

Rose and Gun: It starts like a ROMANCE with sarcasm and the FL's disdain for soldiers, at least when it comes to dating and marriage. In a nutshell, if you enjoy the items listed below, you will likely appreciate this drama. As we go along the real stars of the drama is the parents of the FL, especially the father. This was probably the best parent/child dynamic in most of the dramas i saw to-date. The father and daughter dynamic almost felt like they were real parents of the FL and kept the fun in the drama going. The ML was flat in many areas, especially the romance part. He had done romance before but this seemed flat no matter how hard the FL tried.

Strong: Fate or Small incidents that eventually tell her that she is falling for this guy
Weak: Buildup of a strong connection for ML/FL; SML/SFL didn't need a buildup
Strong: Good, constructive parents who want the best for their kids, not the typical CDrama parents
Weak: little angst as far as Love Triangle; The two couples were the primary focus accept for her rich friend who thought she wanted money and power. Maybe this is an Asian thing but she could have shut him down early in the drama but the dude didn’t understand that she had no attraction towards him.
Medium: Military rescue-type action and Action In/Out; Investigations with Danger

Overall - C+ but closer to a B.
