"Sweet Combat" is loosely based on the South Korean Manwha "Girls of the Wild's". I would suggest reading it before the show to get the best experience. While I loved "Girls of the Wild's" for the most part, this show was somewhat of a step down due to a few unnecessary changes.

The biggest downiside to the show is the main female lead. Fang Yu or "Queen" is one of the worst female romance leads I've ever seen in a drama. If I were Ming Tian, the first time she wanted to break up I would have left and never went back to her. He had so many other choices, Zhengze University was all girls except for he and Sun Hao for God sakes. Fang Yu had a terrible personality, she always believed anyone, even her Aunt and Grandpa who were obviously scheming pieces of garbage. Would it never occur to her that all of this terrible news could be made up or a lie? Ming Tian couldn't control any of the reasons she broke up with him, yet she blamed him anyway. Xiaomi was clearly the more loving and attentive girl for Ming Tian but because "reasons" he ended up with Fang Yu time and time again.

The training and fight choreography in this show is abysmal as well. As a huge fan of MMA and combat sports in general it is laughable, especially if you're used to seeing professional fighters or even amateurs fight. If you're going to have a show about a martial arts college at least teach the actors proper form and how to throw punches, kicks, and engage in submissions correctly. You can tell during the "fights" they aren't even touching or pretending to touch each other at times.
