First off, I'm not a fan of male/female crossdressing, but I made an exception for this drama as I liked the cast. The FL actually looks like a pretty boy, and actually looked strange when dressed as a woman. I loved the character Gu, Yanzhen played brilliantly by Xu Kai (the cheeky chappy who has never grown up), and the chemistry between him and Bai Lu as Xie Xiang is superb. The comraderie between all the students at the Arsenal Military Academy is great, there's no character that you couldn't like and all play a part in the overall story. There's everything in this drama: romance, bromance, action and political intrigue. I thoroughly recommend it!
