Wow that's a lot.I knew that Lee Joongi was orginially slated as the lead, but I didn't realize Lee Minho was…
Oh, she has a no kiss policy? No wonder. The scene when they are both fully clothed under the covers... I think this intimate scene episode was very confusing and silly. I kept thinking, did they or did they not? Being under the covers seemed to imply yes, yet they both were fully clothed, lol. She acted like a 12-year-old teen, not a mature, educated woman who spent years learning medicine, and she was not convincing when she pulled her hair. I didn't hate her, but I felt she was not a good match. She looked older than him physically but childish mentally. I got tired of the endless, longing, staring eyes supposedly expressing their love. I guess without him as the main lead, I wouldn't love it as much. There is another Chinese male actor who is rumored to have a no kiss policy, and it's the same with him. He keeps playing in romantic dramas. It's a pity. They aren't convincing in their acting. The funny part is, with any other similar drama, I would have been extremely critical in my review. Why this exception, I wonder?

It truly saddens me that the author also the screenwriter and the director made the set such an unhappy environment. I do not know the first 2 actors but I am very happy it was him. This drama is full of issues, lack of budget to create exciting backgrounds and hiring enough actors. FL was not a good match for ML. The prudish approach regarding the main couple was ridiculous. The ending was frustrating. And on and on… Yet… still love this drama and adore the OST. lol
When facing taxation issues, it's very hard to recover. It's unfortunate for all the other actors, crew members who worked hard on this project. It's also unfortunate for us, the viewers.
I hope to see a mature FL, not someone with a childish demeanor and voice. I wonder if the delay is related to the court case with ZRY father. Did his father produce it? If so, being in the main role, does it have delayed consequences? I hope not. This drama looks really good!

My translation from it
Qing Qing, a girl from the Yue kingdom, breaks into the Wu Palace to retrieve her father's belongings. Jianlu steals the sword, shocking the whole palace. Qing Qing then meets Sun Wu's descendants and also meets her long-lost acquaintance from the Yue kingdom, Xi Shi, who accidentally gets involved in the open and secret struggle between the states of Wu and Yue and becomes an accomplice in murdering the great Sun Wu.

Qing Qing inherited a secret technique from a great dying soldier and returned to the country of Yue, but became the target of the countries trying to get her or assassinate her. To respect her father's last wish, Qing Qing, convinced by Fan Li, began teaching swordsmanship to Yue Kingdom warriors. However, with a soldier's accidental death, another secret is found...
Gou Jian has been training diligently for ten years. How could he not become a skilled swordsman? Did three thousand Yue warriors really invade Gusu? How many of these stories are exaggerations or lies? During the Spring and Autumn Period, how many conspiracies were plotted by the masters and their numerous disciples across one hundred and twenty-six cities in ten different countries?

I also rephrased it
It's quite amusing to see how one synopsis places the female lead at the center of the story, while the other shifts the focus to the male lead.
Which female actress do you think could match the charismatic strong personality of the male lead, so she won't be overshadowed by him?
