Ci Sha... Need I say anything more?
I am a huge Ci Sha fan after watching this show. He is the definition of pure masculinity and a protective spirit. He falls so far in love. I am not the biggest fan of Ren Min. I think they could have chosen a better female lead, but that being said she played her part well and the chemistry between the ML and FL as well as the Second ML is beyond reproach. This was the 4th C-Drama I've watched. I would rank it tied with my number one. If you are on a POJ withdrawal this is a great next one to watch. Then follow it up with The Rise of Ning.Was this review helpful to you?

I Reached a Point of No Return!
When I first started this show it was solely because of Ci Sha. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the story line. I feel like the ML and the FL had a great chemistry. As someone who isn't familiar with chinese culture and history it was hard to follow along with the "brother / sister" romance. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the 2nd lead couple. They were so adorable and sweet. I wish that the 2nd household adopted the first household kids, but I guess that would have ruined the marriage between 6th sister and uncle. I loved that this storyline brought in a clear resolution to the familial ties. The ending was pleasant and I wasn't at all disappointed; however it didn't do a great job of explaining how the 5th sister became so kind in the end. I also HATED the way Ci Sha's character ended. UGH>>>>>> HEARTBROKEN!!! I am so in love with that man!Was this review helpful to you?

My First C-Drama and OMG
I was dragged into the world of C-drama against my will because I typically hate reading subtitles. That being said after the first five minutes I was hooked. I love the Chemistry between Zhang Linghe and Tian. She did not at all get enough flowers for her performance in this because his character is so grandiose. She totally held her own. She is amazing and adorable, however. MY FAVORITE CHARACTER WAS CHANGNING!! SHE IS A DOLL BABY!!This story surrounds the Marquis of Wu'an a general found hanging on to life by a thread by our heroine Female lead - Fan Changyu. It tells the story of their love, the battlefield, family and resilience.
Our FL (female leaad) is not only ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. she extremely strong, but she has a kind heart and good taste in men. Although throughout the story there are about what seems like a jillion men who seem to fall for her. Totally understandable though. Through her ventures she meets a best friend, a group of rowdy tag a longs that become family, the HOTTEST husband in C-Drama history (at this point because again it was the first one that I've ever watched. )
The trials and tribulations that they go through begin in Xigu Lane, follow them to Li'nan and then onto the battle field. Through cunning, wit, they survive the toughtest moments.
You should really look up the uncut scene in episode 38. I wasn't a huge fan of how it ended. I wish there was more.
There was a lot of court scenes that I didn't care for, but they are crucial to the background of the story. Also, can we talk about the level of fine men they stocked within this show? I mean DANG!!! Even Chancellor Wei! Amen!!!
All of this to say I am now watching this whole series for a 3rd time, however this time my husband and son are both totally into it and watch a few episodes a night with me. I know a log of women watch this for the absolutely beautiful men in this show; but the storyline is enough to engage everyone. Also the war scenes are phenomenal. It's not overdone. It is simply cinematic genius.
