This is the first republican era drama that I watched.
Honestly, at first I was hesitant to start this drama because I've watched two dramas (GBMP and TLOCH) from ML and so far it doesn't bind me but after reading the almost perfect reviews given to this drama I finally decided to start this drama and I didn't even realize he was so very handsome and his acting was amazing in this drama.

good storyline and never boring slowly pulled me into this drama, the good acting of all the actors in this drama really opened my eyes, because I never watched their drama before other than ML. ChenXingXu is very very handsome in this drama, and I really like his character as commander Tan in this drama, his chemistry with Zhanjinyi as MuWanQing is very very good and strong. I love this drama which gives us the main character couple who are very smart, somewhat cunning (ML) and mature, the passion and mutual trust between them is beautiful.

the actors and actresses of this drama have given a very good performance for this drama, although many i don't know in this drama, but their acting is really wouw...cool...didn't let me down.I also like the soundtrack song in this drama, especially the ending theme which is often inserted in the drama entitled Horse Ride by Zhang He Xuan. This is my favorite soundtrack in this drama..overall this drama gave a deep impression to me 10/10 for this drama
