Smart ML FL pairing
I like that there is a good balance of power and brains between the ML and FL. I am tired of dramas where the ML is the sidekick candy. ML is a strong character always played well by CZY and the FL is acted by veteran Wu Jin Yan. I have always enjoyed her acting and she brings depth to her character.I enjoy the decisiveness with which the bad guys are dealt with and although they are sinister (the baddies), the FL and ML are invested in over throwing them. I am still waiting for the latest episodes to air and can’t wait for the discovery of many questions to be answered.
Will continue to follow the series with anticipation.

Great Military Drama
I am really enjoying this military drama and I am a girl. It is not a military romance drama but focuses more on military advances in modern warfare, tactics, manoeuvres and the hero pushing past traditional soldiers with a strong resistance to change (such frustrating fuddy duddies).The hero is mildly flawed with ambition for progress and has to work through his character to mature and deal with envious colleagues, too blinded by jealousy and bias against our brilliant hero.
I enjoy watching the missions given in which the hero’s handling of warfare is modern, different and progressive, outshining his opponents and upstaging the commanders who are still stuck in traditional warfare and its playbook. I keep waiting for episode 27 to air to watch the outcome of a tactical mission and how the hero will overcome odds to succeed.
This series has got me searching for more military dramas with similar coverage on warfare tactics and missions. There are a lot of romance dramas out there to whet the appetite of audiences who love romance and it is good that there is also a drama that offers something different, such as Wind-born Warriors. I am thoroughly enjoying this series.
The cast performances are good and there are some characters I want to punch, a good indication that the audience is involved. I would rewatch, definitely.

Love it❤️
I love this drama and would willingly watch it over and over again. I’ve written this review to address some comments.The story follows an unconventional heroine and it’s not all about her. I love that this drama showcases the ML as a strong individual who willingly works together with the FL to achieve joint goals for the country. I like that the ML and FL are intelligent individuals and the story moved nicely along. It balanced a throughly believable plot of fighting for love of country and personal love. Hence the title.
Victoria Song was good as the FL and Ryan Deng was perfectly cast as the younger ML who had to fight for the FL’s love. Ryan Deng was not under-utilised. I would say Zhang Linghe in Pursuit of Jade was. There is so much fighting scenes and it tells the story of a ML who fell in love at first sight but was also suspicious of the FL’s motives. When the ML finally accepted his infatuation with the FL, he chased her intently. This is all amidst war, political and court affairs.
There is a lot of chemistry from the ML but unfortunately, due to the FL’s past experience and circumstances in which she brought upon herself, it was difficult to acknowledge the ML’s love but once she did, both of them were devoted to each other and nothing could stop their love. I like that. Their love was fraught with challenges which they overcame together.
The supporting cast were all intelligent, helpful and loyal as well. I like how they made good decisions and were not deliberately ‘stupid’ in actions and therefore they needed to overcome their circumstances just to create a storyline.
Overall, I have happily re-watched it three times. Good story line, good plot, good cast. It should receive higher reviews merits.
