A Promising setup - miserable result

I started to watch this drama because Female Lead is Zanilia Zhao who is an really charismatic and talented actress. She is particularly good at portraying strong and independent female characters - maybe she herself is a natural born hero. At the beginning everything was promising, main plot seemed to include military, fashion design and business aspects. Lin Qian ( Zhanilia ) is a talented designer with great ambitions. However immediately when she started getting attracted to male lead, her characters behavior degenerates to a silly little 11 year old girl. This kind of role development is annoyingly common in C-dramas even it has no basis in reality. On the contrary Studies show that women act more rationally than men when it comes to love.
It was sad to watch Zanilia to waste her talent with this ridiculous character.

In the first episodes we saw action scenes which were like a copy of American special forces movies. Sorry, but different variations of these scenes has already been seen hundreds of times, so they are totally worn out. Watchable but not impressive at all. After some 10 episodes writers seemed to totally have forgot the original plot and the drama become a silly collection of borrowed scenes eg. accidental kisses, hugs, embrace and whatnot.

Overall, this drama combined almost all the bad aspects of Chinese dramas. Worn out "classic romantic scenes", patriarchal males, male chauvinists, submissive women who fall in love with men who treat them badly and on top of all that we can watch women degenerate to little girls when they get attracted to men. Oh, and as usual male lead is a "super-hero"

Some actors and actresses were pretty good - but the characters were so bad that their skill was just wasted

This drama can only be recommended to viewers who only focus on whether the Male Actors are handsome or not. Although this might be disappointing for them too
