OH GOD THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! one hell of a ride.
liking gender bender- the girl kicked the role- this was the best ever gender bender ever swamping.
me, as a person who is scared of every drama with more than 24 episodes, I was avoiding it for a long time. Especially when I was looking for gender bender type and some light romance but the number of episodes always pushed me away.I accidentally forgot the number and started watching it and it was too late when I released and I am so thankful for that!

the drama is fantastic, Bai LU (main girl) was marvelous, the cast amazing, it is true -not much of a typical romance thing, but who cares about romance when everything else was just amazing. in C-dramas it stands alogside with Love 020 and love me if you dare and my amazing boufriend (season1) for me <3

it is about a girl getting into men military academy and like a men kicking ass of other bandits and protecting country better than some men. side stories are so good as well.
I would like to applaud to the director and every person who made this drama happen.
as for Bai Lu (lead girl)- it is impossible to not fall in love with her. she is so strong, amazing and her smile <3 I can't even imagine somebody else in this role. lets not for get our lovely Xu Kai (off to watch this pair in Legends ^_^) and Toby Lee with his captivating smile that catches your hear.

the story is realistic, it gets better and better. especially last 10 episodes its a whole new world.
the ending is just what you would wish for- fantastic. OST is perfect- downloaded. cast amazing.

it is in my top 10 recommendations for life. you never notice how fast time flies (i took me 3 days though to finish it).
