Xie Xiang is the most badass female lead ever in a Mulan plot set in the early 1900s!

I highly recommend this drama! I am personally a huge fan of the gender bender genre dramas and this drama did not disappoint!

Xie Xiang/Xie Liang Chen is by far one of my all time favorite female leads. I love her character development so much. Episodes 39-41 is where you see her at her best.

I love all the other lead characters and a lot of the romantic/friend chemistry. The cast, including villains, did a great job!

The cinematography is wonderful and I personally love dramas set in this time period. The music is good, my favorite being the intro song.

I actually just finished rewatching and found it just as good as the 1st time. I had to binge even though I already had seen it all! I did fast forward past most parts that did not involve the main students because I already knew the intrigue that was happening around them. There is only one random side plot towards the end that I thought was stupid and just seemed like a time filler that I completely fast forwarded. It just randomly adds a new non main character as a minor non important plot device that the show could do without.

The only downside of this drama for me is the limited romance but the drama is so good that I still rate this drama a 10! Action packed, funny, and I found I like dramas more when there are animated/"real" side characters/friends.
