This drama is definitely worth the watch, I'm actually re-watching it now. The character development was done extremely well. It's like Mulan on steroids. There are at least 3 distinct sections and each one is great. I like how they throw in some of the Daoist philosophy. It's unfortunate there aren't more realistic romantic scenes with the main leads (no kissing). And although I like Leo Wu's acting, the way he walks with his arms out, is it because he's trying to look bigger or older?
