Mu Guiying Takes Command (2012)

I will make it short. If you are ever interested in a Mulan like type of strong willed girl in the Chinese history, this is for you. Those two are the symbols of strong women in the Chinese history, even tho they both have more an legend like existence.

What I love, is how this strong and skillful girl is portrayed. She can be called a feminist of her time, but she's not portrayed as what we called "femnazi". She's not portrayed as a genius strategic type warrior only, but also as daughter, as a wife, as a young girl with a big heart.

I would like to add that the strategic battles in this show are awesome haha.

Ridiculous

What a waste of good actors. I kept waiting for the story to get serious. How can a strong female lead role be so shallow and silly and be taken seriously? How can a strong male lead role be taken seriously if he's portrayed like a spoiled child? 10 episodes in, with no hope of either of these characters growing up and getting really fed up with the corny comedy and the awful music score, it's hard to see how Mu & Yang could turn out to be great war strategists and military leaders. I love Chinese dramas, this one is a serious letdown. I'm giving up after this episode.
