One of the Best Chinese Drama -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

It's set in WW2 during pre Japanese war in China. A group of brats enrolled in Arsenal Military Academy and there was an exception student, Xie Liangchen. She enrolled in the military academy to replace her late brother and disguised as a man and later she became one of the most prominent students and form strong friendship with her comrades.

During the process in the academy she tried so hard to hide her identity and Gu Yanzheng who found out her identify gradually fell in love with her. Xu Kai and Bai Lu had good chemistry.

The drama also featuring good supporting roles and has good songs, good directing. It went by fast, not draggy at all. For Chinese drama rookies, this drama is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Classic K-Drama

I just finished re-watching this drama. It was made in 2005, time sure flies. Hyun Bin was still baby and chubby in this one, I believe this was his debut, his performance was bad at all as a newcomer. He was totally unrecognizable in Secret Garden.

This show that got me hooked on K-Dramas. I was very fond of this show many years ago. Now I don't find it as interesting as it used to be. It was a different time, but I really liked Daniel Henney in this one despite his terrible acting (maybe this, too, was his debut in a drama, I never follow his trivia).

I really liked Kim Sam Soon's character. She wasn't an exceptionally pretty female character, in fact she was a little bit overweight, but her hilarious character that made me hooked on this drama.

I didn't like Jin-Hyun's immature personality, he was in dilemma between Sam Soon and his ex girlfriend who left him without a word 3 years ago.

I also didn't like Yoo Hee-Jin's character, she was too whiny, immature, and dreamy, and kept dwelling in the past. Although Jung Ryeo-Won was cute in this drama, her performance didn't help at all. Hee-Jin became a character I loved to hate.

Henry Kim was too good too be true, he was such an understanding person and mature. He really had patient towards Hee-Jin despite knowing she came back to Korea to chase her ex boyfriend.

I would say Daniel Henney's performance in this one was really off because clearly to me he isn't connected to Korean culture. Perhaps they casted him in this drama because of his good looks and he was an unofficially spokesperson to introduce Korean culture to non Koreans. He was simply a spare tyre for Hee-Jin.

This show also had so many annoying supporting characters that made this drama lively. I wish they could add some more scenes of Sam Soon and Henry and some more comedic elements, it was hilarious and refreshing when the two met.

Conclusion: very simple plot, slow pace, hilarious, entertaining. Those who love romcom will love this drama and stick through till the end although it's a little bit old. This drama has good soundtrack, too.

This drama is meant for Kailu fans

For those who love to see their chemistry in Arsenal Military Academy, this one might be good to make up for what you missed.

It was good on early episodes but getting really draggy on later episodes. I pushed fast forward button a lot while watching. I wish they could make it based on the novel and didn't add too many unnecessary changes to the plot and the characters.

Bailu is a good actress and Xukai isn't bad either. This drama also has a lot of good supporting actors and actresses. The most stand out one is Shane Xiao.

I can't give this drama a high rating because of these factors, but it may be good for Kailu diehard fans.
