Try to look past the eyesore, low budget wardrobe, props, and settings, because the story is worth the watch. Sandra Ma is excellent as the highly decorated female general. With her reputation as a fearsome warrior, everyone in the palace and city thought her looks would match her reputation. Although far from being an ogre, the general is still considered plain and not a beauty. The irony is that Sandra Ma is the most beautiful in the drama. With the royal arranged marriage between the fearsome general and the weak and indolent, albeit handsome, nephew of the emperor, the stage is set. What I love about this drama is seeing the blossoming love, trust, and respect between the FL and ML, and the personal growth that each experienced. Once they learn to love and respect each other, it is wonderful to see them work together towards a common goal, to defend one and another, and to make sacrifices for each other. The role reversal where the FL acts and behaves more masculine, while the ML takes on the more feminine characteristics work well in this drama with many funny and sweet moments. I love the ending because I am a sucker for a happily ever after.
