I am new to costume chinese drama but LLTG really makes me want to dig deeper to another costume dramas. It starts really slow for me, only until the Lantern Festival episode, the pace is slowly picking up. I am also not a fan of court politics, rarely watch Sageuk, but LLTG made me pay attention to every characters and every actions they took because I know, they will connect in future episodes. The story is woven slowly and carefully involving every characters and made me curious about the revelation of them all. Zhao Lusi is perfect as Cheng Shaoshang, the abandoned daughter of two generals, not knowing any conduct and proper manner but instead having the street knowledge, quick witted, impulsive and reckless. Her characters make her involved in the root of the story. Leo Wu is also perfect as Ling Buyi, cold, calculated, harsh general. Two of them have amazing chemistry. The buildup to the second part of the drama was perfect, giving me the signal on when's the climax.
