5.0/10

Qu Man Ting and Shen Ting Bai actually do make a great couple. Shen Ting Bai is a great catch. Not just because of his wealth. Apparently Qu Man Ting loves her freedom, but apparently cant's see Shen past what everyone tells her she should do or want from him. What a shame because I think they're my favorite couple on this drama!

Oooooo. Another episode where Xie Xiang has to dress up as a girl. Father's in town and of course she has to go to a fancy Banquet that her dad is going to thank Shen for clothing donation. Which Xie Xiang just happens to forget that Shen's brother Jun Shan will be there. *sighs* Though I can't fault the drama. It lead to a hilarious Mrs. Doubtfire moment where Xie Xiang gets cake frosting all over her face so that she won't be discovered. I do like that this drama does not assume that people won't recognize her as a girl.

So Xie Xiang forgets that she is a dude and needs to act accordingly around Tan Xiao Jun. They ain't both girl friends. So Xie Xiang breaks up a flirtation between Tan Xiao Jun and Ji Jin. Which I am vibing!! Did anyone else just giggle and smile at these two together? Ahhhhhh! I'm all in for that! Can't wait to see what the drama has in store for them.

Overall I do like where this drama is going. Plenty of build up. Though I feel like Xie Xiang's inspiring her to be in the army is weird. I mean there's idealism, but that's a huge leap for a girl of that time and place to make. There's more I'm sure.

There was this whole tiring conformation with some "MEAN GIRLS" and Qu Man Ting that just bored the crap out of me. So, yuck.
