Aside from the visual candy. the overall storyline was interesting to watch. It typically focuses on a military training, patriotism, love triangles and friendship. Barely any typical romance or skinship. The cast did a wonderful job, they're all great actors.
However there were a few things that irked me.
Gu Yan Zheng played by Xu Kai. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to watch this drama because I finished The Legends where Xu Kai and Bai Lu were also main leads. I was also a fan of Xu Kai, however, I really dislike his character here. I've never disliked a main lead so much to the point I don't want him as lead. Why? His character's personality is very irritating, immature and annoying. He doesn't care much about the consequences of his actions at all. He's basically blinded by love. He also annoys the female lead like a 10 year boy crushing on a girl. Its ridiculous. Sure, they're cute but I rather have Xie Xiang with Jun Shan than Gu Yan Zheng. Aside from his irritable personality, I really love his hair styling here; even the clothes from this era looks marvelous on him! When Gu Yan Zheng is serious, he gets serious and is able to kill people with accuracy. His skills are top notch despite his laziness and goofiness. I admit sometimes I like his character when he's goofy but there were times when I really think he needs to stop. haha
As for Xie Xiang played by Bai Lu, her character was interesting. It was funny to watch her run back and forth as herself and as her "brother." I like that she somehow reminds me of Mulan, she may be weaker than the other military comrades, however she has the speed to knock you out! There was even a mission she managed to handle all on her own! BRAVE and STRONG woman! I like that she's able to fight back with men and not be your typical weak, timid, female lead.
She's not the only girl who showcased how strong she is. :)
The cinematography is beautiful. I don't usually like this era because of the war talk gets boring but I love the clothes, the old, rustic buildings, the cars and even the home decor! Although there were some scenes I notice were filmed with a green screen which was a bit disappointing. haha I guess its to be expected.
I recommend this drama if you like military hot guys, watch girls whoop ass, and love between friends.

Happy ending but simple
Story was based on the Chinese and Japanese conflicts which happened in the 20th centuries. So it may be a true story so if I see it as a true then I can't say much about the which I don't like because director also becomes helpless at this situation . He has to show the way story was .Bit if it is not a true story and director pick the concept of Chinese and Japanese conflicts and how much Chinese people suffer because of this so he could give some more romantic scenes among the couple and her brother's story also . Except last two -three episodes ,it was not clear that who got female lead though by poster of the drama we can guess but still this had create confusion.
My favourite chay of the drama is Qu Man Ting . She was just Fabulous in the drama.

This drama is a masterpiece.
I love the story overall. I watched it for about seven times already and I still enjoy it. I love the characters really especially on how Bai Lu fits the role. The flow of the story never disappoints me. I highly recommend this drama to anyone who loves rom-com, yet the drama is more on the mixed genre; action, romance, comedy, thrill, and adventure. More KaiLu drama please.I love the story overall. I watched it for about seven times already and I still enjoy it. I love the characters really especially on how Bai Lu fits the role.

Awesome amazing will rewatch a million times
I originally watched AMA after watching the legends. However I was a little hesitant because I hadn’t ever watched something like this before. My doubts quickly disappeared. This drama is so good. If it’s not my favourite it is definitely one of my top 5.Xu Kai and Bai Lu did an amazing job I absolutely loved both their characters. All the side plots and side characters were interesting too, I rarely found myself bored with them. Occasionally I was a bit disinterested but that was mainly when the main plot was really roaring.
I have now watched AMA twice in the span of less than two months, both times I binged it. Even on the second viewing I couldn’t stop myself from watching.
Overall it’s a great show with action, a great plot, interesting characters, and a romance I can get behind.

a little touching scene
the storyline was not so bad. I used to be familiar with military dramas in western movies involving women. They were usually nurses or female soldiers. In this drama, getting a female trainee in the dormitory for men could be impossible. First of all, a women would be through the physical checkup. I don't think Chinese military is that sloppy or careless. Though I feel very sorry for Chinese people over the invasion of the Japanese army, depicting our army looks rather too rough. Of course, I like the male lead , but I felt he showed off too much there. His friend's relationship with the flower shop owner was quite touching. Their scene was a minor thing. But, in another site, I found another woman has the same idea as me. Also, the soundtrack for passing by the tomb by her was short but unforgettable. I loved the background scenery such as streets, towns, or the regular pub.Was this review helpful to you?
Review on this Drama if you dropped it from the first episode
When i first saw or watched this drama back in 2020 i dropped it from the first episode because i didnt like the characters but now ive been admiring Xu Kai's acting and looks, i planned to watch it again and it was good and not bad as i thought. This drama has romance if you like romance but it comes as a support of the story so i guess thats why it wasnt in the genre or in the tags of this drama. The characters and roles were all funny. And like any other dramas if theres a happy and joyful scene, a tragic scene comes in. Some of your favorite characters may die and some may not.I like the villains role. Its a girl and theres not many Girl Villains in dramas. but this one played out so well. Now i really really really like girl villains because i think they are all misunderstood and this one showed ot really well. Although we might not know what her plan really was or why she did all of those things but i think she was a puppet of the japanese.
I think this is it for my review. I hope you find this review helpful and you enjoy the drama

It's just love! It's just love Who knows what is true
It's being trapped by willIt is to serve those who win, the winner
It's a possession with whom loyalty kills us
As opposed to you is the same love
temos varios tipos de amor, o da família, o amor entre amigos que se assemelham a irmãos, o romântico, o que ama, cuida, o mais precioso e o que nao se pede nada em troca..
It's a series about patriotism, I don't understand the historical context of the time because I'm not Chinese so I only speak for the history itself!
PERFECT SERIES!
Characters very well developed by the actors, each episode has a short direction, and EACH EPISODE IS VERY WORTH WATCHING!
1 - WOMEN: if you want to watch series to fall in love with perfect men and dream of someone like you, here we have six! (Shen Ting Bai, my favorite) I removed the female character.
2 - the story is beautiful, about true friendship, companionship, friendship between brothers, why not talk about generosity and kindness too
3 - there are no moments of romance, kisses, hugs but there is THE COURT, WANTING MUCH MORE THAN WANTING GOOD, DOING IT WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN, doing it because you love it.
4 - Get ready to be undecided between two VERY DISTINCT characters, and cry with the recruit you will hate the most.
5 - DON'T GIVE UP, VALE CADE SECOND WATCHED, for me as a story as I said, I wanted to have had the perspective of someone from China on the events of the time.

Então é reaberta a Academia Militar do Arsenal para treinar os jovens. Aí então Xie Xiang resolve se inscrever no lugar do irmão que morreu.
Lá ela tenta manter um perfil discreto, porém com o nascer de uma amizade com alguns de seus colegas de classe esse segredo vai ficando cada dia mais difícil de guardar.
Gente, sério, recomendo demais, apesar que faltou algumas cenas de romance porém o foco do drama não é esse né?😅

Protagonistas femininas fortes, ação e romance na China da década de 20
Normalmente eu não gosto de dramas que tem personagens que assume outro gênero, eu acho um tema clichê e não gosto das interpretações, por isso, fiquei relutante em assistir essa série. Outro ponto que sempre me deixa desmotivada nas séries chinesas é a quantidade de episódios, já que eu costumo preferir séries mais curta. No entanto, essa série vale cada minuto!O primeiro ponto que eu gostei na série é a protagonista feminina forte, ela precisa superar os próprios limites e esconder a verdadeira identidade em meio a um monte de homens, na China da década de 20. Além da protagonista as outras mulheres que aparecem na série também são fortes e com personalidade.
Um ponto que merece destaque é a ambientação e figurino. A produção da série é muito bacana, você é transportado no tempo.
Por fim, eu gosto da química do casal e o relacionamento de amor e ódio que acontece entre os dois. Você vai lentamente se encantando com o protagonista e torcendo pelo romance.
Essa é uma série bem completa com muita ação, comédia e romance. Além disso, ela foge da mesmice e faz com que você mergulhe em uma outra era.

He disfrutado cada episodio, de verdad
Este es mi drama favorito ahora mismo. Al principio no creí que pudiera sorprenderme tanto, pero fue toda una sorpresa para mi.La ambientación, el reparto y la trama son elementos muy importantes y esta serie cumple con todos ellos. Por una parte, tiene una ambientación de diez, con escenarios preciosos, una dirección de cámara genial y muy buena forma de comunicar lo que pasa en cada momento, consigue que te metas de lleno en la historia y te atrape desde el principio. Sientes el miedo constante de que descubran el secreto de la protagonista.
Por otra parte, el reparto es brutal, con Bai Lu como personaje principal no esperaba menos. Bai Lu ha demostrado una gran habilidad para desempeñar su trabajo como actriz, he visto varias series de ella y en cada una es una persona totalmente distinta. Tiene sus rasgos como actriz, pero no deja que su personalidad entre en el personaje (al contrario que otras actrices que no voy a nombrar aquí), y eso es lo que construye a una buena actriz como ella. El personaje de Xu Kai a veces me resulta un poco molesto e incoherente, no voy a mentir, pero su habilidad como actor es inmejorable, es uno de los personajes más desarrollados de la trama, tiene un cambio paulatino desde el principio hasta el último episodio, y el actor es capaz de representar ese cambio, hace que te lo creas. Por último, el otro personaje destacable que me gustaría mencionar es Oda Hiroshi, interpretado por Gao Yu Er; creo que es una de las mejores villanas que he visto en un drama chino. Su personaje está bien construido desde el principio, sabes perfectamente que no pinta bien desde su primera aparición en escena, llegas incluso a sentir lástima por ella en algún momento. Es conmovedora y odiosa al mismo tiempo, y por supuesto el trabajo de la actriz tiene mucho que ver.
La trama quizás es algo densa, al principio cuesta coger el ritmo, yo no he sido capaz de ver más de cuatro capítulos seguidos de esta serie. Cada capitulo requiere atención y paciencia, no creo que sea una serie para ver de forma rápida, sino para apreciar la historia, entenderla bien y fijarse en cada detalle. Lo que más me gusta de esta serie es que el motivo principal no es el amor, sino el orgullo, la familia, los valores del ser humano. No quiero dar muchos detalles, solo espero que os animéis a darle una oportunidad y disfrutéis tanto como lo he hecho yo.
Si has llegado hasta aquí, muchísimas gracias!

La historia parte de una premisa sencilla, una chica que ingresa a una Academia militar y tendrá que compartir habitación con el más rebelde de la Academia. Eso solo es la punta de iceberg, el contexto social y político está realmente muy bien desarrollado y con gran habilidad vas conociendo acontecimientos importantes de la época en ese pais puesto que muchos afectan a los personajes. Las distintas formas de pensar y vivir van viendose poco a poco creando una imagen muy amplia del contexto social. El vestuario y los escenarios son maravillosos.
No solo nos relata la vida de la protagonista sino que hay varias otras tramas que van confluyendo y uniendose. Los distintos personajes, sus distintas formas de ser, su pasado y presente van descubriendose poco a poco consiguiendo que te encariñes y conozcas muy bien a cada uno.
Sin duda lo que más me ha gustado ha sido la pareja protagonista (una pareja espectacular de la que voy a ver todo lo que hagan juntos). La química entre ellos es increíble (ya los había visto en “the legends” y también me enamoraron). Como se desarrolla su vida como compañeros de habitación, como se hacen amigos y como poco a poco sus sentimientos aumentan. Es un romance lento pero es de los que merecen mucho la pena ver… sobre todo por lo divertido que es el protagonista, ¡lo que me he podido reir con él! Cuando se metía con la protagonista o la chinchaba o intentaba camelarla me sacaba carcajadas. El actor lo ha hecho espectacularmente bien, su expresiva cara lo decía todo y contrastaba mucho con la cara más bien calmada de la protagonista. La protagonista es fuerte, decidida y valiente, me ha gustado mucho su carácter y forma de ser.
Una de las cosas que menos me han gustado han sido los múltiples triángulos amorosos de los que no soy muy fan pero han sabido hacerlo poco dramático y eso ayuda a que no me molestase verlo.
La trama se desarrolla de forma muy dinámica y amena, hay fluidez entre los momentos de drama, acción y comedia que consigue hacer la serie mucho más entretenida.
Un drama que lo tiene todo para convertirse en un gran favorito.
P.d: Tengo la canción que cantan a dúo los protagonistas y es parte de la ost en bucle, ¡qué bonita!
