Surprisingly Enjoyable!

This drama absolutely caught me by surprise. I’ve never watched Chinese Republican-era-themed projects but I’m so glad I tried this one. Not once did I think I'd be patiently waiting for new episodes, simping over men in military uniforms and getting a YOUKU membership, but I did 'em all! So, here’s why you should give it a try:
(I tried to keep the review short and spoiler-free)

We have an anti-hero who, by the way, is one of the best anti-hero characters I've seen. Xuanlin stops at nothing to get what he wants. He's got the smarts and the looks that will trap anyone.
Wanqing is not the usual damsel in distress which is one of the many reasons why I love her. She is just as quick-witted and knows how to stand up for herself against anyone.
Their first meeting is definitely not a pleasant one but the story/makers brought out the smooth transition of these two very clever people from enemies to lovers. I love how his character develops from an absolute jerk to someone that deeply cares

This is one impressive cast! Both the MLs have notable projects while the FL’s latest movie was gripping. I've watched the behind-the-scenes & it seems like all of them enjoyed very much on set. I guess it’s safe to say that it was those off-screen friendships that resulted in the good rapport on the show.
All their interactions are so fun to watch. Apart from the main couple, my favorite interactions are between
Xuan Lin and Guang Yao
Xuan Lin and Sung Yu (Tan Siblings)
Xuan Lin and Tan Si
(It may look like I'm biased towards Xuan Lin. You're right, I am! )

Men in Uniforms erm Visuals!!!
The show offers such great visuals. Whether it's the direction or the cinematography, the show has some great shots!
And of course, the men in military uniforms! Can I say how great they look? Okay, I'm sorry if I sound superficial but, I can't help it! They serve exceptional visuals! Check for yourself!

The soundtracks are so well-fit! I liked them all but the intro song got me playing it on loop.

Now that it's one of my favorite dramas, I’ve re-watched the episodes more than a couple of times. This should tell you just how much of an impression this show has made on me. If you’re like me and have never tried such dramas, let this be your first! I’m very sure you’ll like it!

Happy Viewing!! :)
