****A FEW MINOR SPOILERS *****I REALLY LOVE THIS DRAMA!!!!
I usually am not interest in sports or martial arts movies or dramas. I decided to give this one a try for a change and that i wanted to try out a jcw drama. In terms of acting, everyone nailed it. I will say that i'm usually not impressed by female leads but she really did a great job. And Ji chang wook!!!!!! Oh my gosh, he made my heart race everytime he busted out those cool martial arts moves. This was my first drama of his and i will definitely be watching more! The only thing i wish they could have improved on was the ending. I wish the female lead could have just accepted jcw rather than him having to wait till she moves on from her past lover. But still it was kinda cute.
I would recommend this drama if you love martial arts. Even if you dont still give it a shot and try not to fall in love with jcw and the rest of the cast!

****A FEW MINOR SPOILERS*******I have watched a lot of gender bender dramas and movies. But I will have to say this is the best one and here is why:
1. Acting
Everyone nailed their roles. Especially the female lead. The main hurdle of gender bender dramas is that the actress leads to pull off a boy role. Bai Lu did an incredible job passing as a suave boy and a sweet girl. Also I really loved Xu Kai in this drama. This the first drama I saw of him and I was not disappointed. The rest of the cast did a great job as well.
2. Story
The story was really interesting but there a few unexpected deaths that made me heartbroken. The most cool part of this drama for me was the time period. It wasn't really ancient but i think was during the 1900s. Everything fit in perfectly with the time period. I also enjoy strong female leads with funny and sarcastic male leads. Bai Lu and Xu Kai's chemistry was no doubt incredible. Though i didnt have the second lead syndrome i really like the 2nd lead too. He was such a kind character. I also like how the 2nd female lead was not antagonized. Manting was a really funny character throughout the show and im glad she got her own happy ending.
3. Music
The sound track was really beautiful and the lyrics were really touching.
Overall:
If you want to see a good gender bender drama then I would highly recommend this one. Romance, action, and a handsome cast is all part of this amazing drama. I would really rewatch this drama again.

Overall, I would say this drama is pretty amazing. The best thing for me was the cast. I enjoyed Lee Min Ho as cold but sweet Choi Young . Kim Hee Sun nailed her character. I usually only watch for the male leads but this is my 2nd drama of kim hee sun and she didnt disappoint me at all! I enjoyed her flustered and quirky character. They had incredible chemistry as well. I would say the story is pretty well written too. I liked the fact that their is no love triangle and that the 2nd couple (king and queen) were pretty adorable as well. I liked the happy ending since I was worried it was going to end in a tragedy but it didn't.
I would rewatch it since I love happy but not forced endings. A great historical drama!
