Same as others I was quite hesitant to watch this and have been on my watchlist for some time, the reason is it is 60 episodes. At last, I was able to watch it before 2023 ended and all I could say is that it was one of the best series I have binge-watched for the year. I gave it a 9/10 because it could have been so perfect from episodes 1- 20 however after came the war plot and the side characters which made the story lengthy but predictable. I for one am a sucker for romance and plot twists, however, the war twists of the story are predictable. I could have moved some episodes because of the war plot it's just that at each episode the FL and ML show a little screentime and it was soooo good and sweet! and I ended up watching all episodes because I didn't want to miss their screen time.
Ma Si Chun and Peter Sheng have an absolute chemistry! just the kiss smacks, the eye connection, their foolish air kissing and hugging each other is enough to sizzle. Until now I still think about how Ma Si Chun got the general role, she has a sweet face but she conquered the role! I liked that she wasn't portraying a manly man, she was a general but she has a soft and sweet side whenever she is with the ML. Peter Sheng on the other hand complemented the sweet side of Ma Si Chun. He is hilarious and at some point, it seems Ma Si Chun would smile because she finds it funny.

I have finished the series but I am watching it again however from episodes 1 - 20 only when the cousin arrived did it spoil the fun!
