i love Qiao En in any role, as she is one of my faves. as the previous commentor said, it's a bit too much emphasis on the childish brat which is also a bit unreallistic in an army academy. but that is lately the problem with new dramas ... romance of condor heroes, swordsman, etc they don't know what they want it to be. or as if they have different script writers,. so, they start out very captivating and in the middle it's all stupid comedy with no correlation to the full movie. but since you are a fan of the actress(es),actor(s) .. you skip the silly episodes and go to the ending. that should not be the case as it should be well-done and focused... like Cruel Romance, Lady and Liar, Prince and Frog, Shanghai Bund, Best Get Going... you either decide it is going to be a comedy (Hot Mama) or you stay your course as a period movie (Beauties of the Empress, Song of the Desert, City of devastating love). ... not flip-flop and going nowhere, distracting the viewer. In this one, thankfully, the cast is strong, and the stupidity is subdued by the other characters like the infatuated sister and the grudging nurse seeking revenge. also the real instructor, and the tomboy military lady. all of them are strong actresses as with most chen qiao en movies, the supporting roles are good actresses. but for this one, there is too much eye-candy. if you want eye-candy, you must also have a strong male character... Lady and the Liar , Cage of Love, Lang Lin Wang
