woahh! i'am seriously smitten with mulan, such a powerful and inspiring character, this drama was such a great great drama, it's soo good and addictive, i have NO IDEA WHY ON EARTH IS THIS SOO UNDERATED!! the cast was perfect although i didn't like the heroine at first, she looked and had the air of a weak little girl while in fact she proved me wrong as her character develops, there is major character developement in this drama, the cast proves to us THEY CAN ACT!
the first part of the story is about this girl named hua mulan who is a great embroider, coincindentally, i have started an interest in embroidery just a week before, this was perfect for me, as a series of killing happens, you'll find yourself trying to solve the death myseries, which is THRILLING!! it'll give you such a thrill and a pleasure trying to solve the crimes, then the story develops to the upcoming of war, where mulan takes us to the battle field, and teaches us the value of comradeship, home and family as well as love, the most exciting part is that she will be leading an army of wei against her lover who will be the general of rouran, okay, no more spoilers....
you want to watch this:
because you're reading reviews about it :b
because mulan is not just fiction, but a real chinese heroine.
because you love thrill and this drama is soo good and so perfect for you.
the rewatch value is low because i don't rewatch dramas.

hmm.....this drama was not what i had expected , this drama might appear too real and too fictitious at the same time, sometimes i felt that the dama is fake because they were trying so hard to relate this drama to reality, or should i say, i thought the characters in it were too real to be real, yet, we should remind ourselves that no matter how good the narration was or how flawed the characters were, human psychology and personality is way too complicated for the narrator to tell us exactly what the character is feeling and in a organised manner tell us what they're thinking, perhaps this is partly what i found fake about it, the narration obviously was Omniscient which weakened the reality element in this drama, perhaps the narrator should have claimed himself to be GOD...
the script was a masterpiece, the conversations were unbelievably good, you could post screenshots of the drama non stop, 99% of what the characters said could be quoted as if your quoting some poet or writer's words (talk about reality element!!) However; sometimes i got skeptical and annoyed of the overly "smart"; conversation they had.... i said overly, not, 'very'..that would be a mistake....
you'll get to meet characters like weiwei which you could think is a fictitous character, if i hadn't had a friend like him, i would think he's not really 'real', weiwei is someone who i knew very well from the first scene i saw him, probably because i had a friend just like him, very intersting, very captivating and mystical yet narcissistic , righteous and a wiseacre although he was not competly a quack, he is just overwhelming, too overwhelming.
fan jie, Qiu Ying Ying, qiao xin felt very real, very very real, xiao xiao and DR.zhao felt real to an
extent, Andy felt too real to be true, from her success to her 'mental problem', she was portrayed as someone who is remote yet loved, she is a very likable personality yet if you would ever encounter her in real life, you would misjudge her...
why YOU should watch it??
you want to watch this show because there are REALLY hot guys in it, you don't wanna miss it!!
you'll feel joy, hate, anger, sadness, reality, yes you will feel reality and despair watching this drama, so watch it!
real and fairy-tail love stories , this drama has it all, seriously!!
you already like it !!

to be honest, i was really attracted by the cast, always wanted to see wallace and cecelia together as the main leads of a drama, however; i really did fall in love with this drama and the plot is really good.
Story: it is basically about a band of heros who travel around solving cases and saving people, but the main plot i think has to do with li ge xiao and his choices, of course many people would find this drama to be much more than just a regular love story, but the biggest event which happens in the end all goes back to ge xiao's love story, thus he was given a choice in the end as he was given a choice at first, the difference is that he learned from his past mistake and made the right choice, there are also secondary stories but are interlinked with the main one, this drama was coherent and the events were in harmony and made sense.
Acting/ cast: the cast was great, every actor really did suited their character, wallace is a bit...well.... i just cannot see a different side of him is that because they always make him play to good guy? maybe? but his just appears the same in most of his dramas, however, the fighting scenes were really good, espcially cecelia's fighting scenes, plus they did not make her stupid in this drama, as they do to their lead actresses, cecelia for some reason always plays the smart girl, go girl!!.
Music : there were not impressive pieces of music, just coupe of alright-kind of songs.
Rewatch value : i personnaly, do not like to rewatch dramas or movies, i have already seen because i don't like the idea that i know what's gonna happen next, i already have difficulty picking new dramas, because i have this supernatural ability of predicting what cannot possible be predicted,( like it's supposed to be a surprise!!!) but i just know what's gonna happen, sometimes only based on intuition that i know, it's not only logical deductions, so i really enjoy dramas which i cannot predict what's gonna happen, i think i have wached 2 masterpieces or so in which i could not predict what's gonna happen, one of them is nirvana in fire, the other one, is chinese paladin 3. but if i could not find any other good drama, i do rewatch, that is rarely but this drama does deserves to be rewatched.
i totally recommend it !! try it!!!
