Absolutely enthralling, romantic, stirring, suspenseful, scary, thrilling drama. Set before the start of WW2, in a fictional town near the Arsenal Military Academy (AMA). Although the settings may be fictional, the drama sets forth the tensions that existed between the Japanese and Chinese before WW2. But what makes this drama so compelling is the human interactions.
Xu Kai as Gu Yanzgen is magnificent, I love all his dramas, but this one is the best. He goes from a lackadaisical wealthy playboy to a committed soldier, lover, patriot. You will be cheering him on.
Bai Lu plays the beloved sister Yie Xiang, who lost her brother too soon. He wanted to attend AMA but died. She decides to takes his place and masquerade as a cadet. She does a phenomenal job, but when it's time to take a shower, dress, etc., with her roommate Xu Kai sometimes in attendance, it's problematic. They have a silent agreement and Xu Kai falls in love.
There are many more dramatic relationships, frightening encounters, funny episodes, but it is always super entertaining.
All of the actors are fantastic! From our lovers, the students, teachers, evil Japanese platters, etc. There are so many gripping, funny, romantic, frightening episodes. Just watch this drama. During the last 5 episodes, I did not leave my seat.
So far the best Chinese drama I've watched. Hits all the bases and then some. Phenomenal. Breathtaking. Romantic. Edge of your seat. Funny. Scary. Makes you think about why some people hate and see the worst and others love.

Had great expectation....but the ending was pathetic. The relation bw shen jushan and xie xiang went cold as did every other relation of her....they basically laid waste to her character completely making her only a lover. This was nothing like the initial seasons.
"Arsenal Military Academy" is a remarkable Chinese drama that seamlessly blends romance, patriotism, and historical intrigue to create a captivating narrative that keeps viewers hooked from start to finish. With its well-developed characters, strong performances, and compelling storyline, this series deserves every bit of its 9/10 rating.
Set against the backdrop of China's turbulent Republican era, "Arsenal Military Academy" transports audiences to a time of political upheaval, espionage, and resistance against foreign powers. The story follows the resilient and tenacious Xie Xiang, played brilliantly by Bai Lu, who disguises herself as a male cadet to attend the prestigious Arsenal Military Academy. Her journey of becoming a soldier with a mission adds depth and layers to her character, making her an incredibly relatable and admirable protagonist.
Within the confines of the academy, Xie Xiang forms close bonds with a group of young male recruits, each with their unique personalities. Among them is the rich, hot-headed and affluent Gu Yan Zheng, portrayed with depth by Xu Kai, and the soft-spoken and introverted Shen Jun San, portrayed with quiet charm by Li Cheng-Pin. However, both Gu Yan Zheng and Shen Jun San find themselves entangled in a complex web of emotions, both harboring feelings for the enigmatic Xie Xiang.
The chemistry between Xie Xiang and the enigmatic Gu Yan Zheng, is undeniably electric. Their blossoming romance, while complicated by the fact that Xie Xiang is masquerading as a man, is beautifully depicted and adds an extra layer of tension and intrigue to the plot. Their love story is filled with touching moments that will tug at your heartstrings.
The supporting cast, including the lovable and hilarious group of cadets, each with their unique quirks and backgrounds, adds a perfect balance of humor and camaraderie to the show. The camaraderie among these characters is one of the highlights of the drama, showcasing the importance of friendship and teamwork in times of adversity.
Furthermore, "Arsenal Military Academy" does an outstanding job of weaving historical events and real-life figures into its fictional narrative. This historical authenticity adds depth and weight to the storyline, making it both educational and entertaining. The attention to detail in the sets, costumes, and military tactics is commendable.
The drama's pacing is on point, with a perfect balance of action-packed sequences and quieter, character-driven moments. The suspenseful plot twists and cliffhangers at the end of each episode will leave you eagerly anticipating the next instalment.
In conclusion, "Arsenal Military Academy" is a superbly crafted drama that manages to strike the perfect balance between romance, patriotism, and historical drama. With its engaging characters, brilliant performances, and a well-executed plot, it's a must-watch for fans of the genre. Whether you're drawn to the romance, the action, or the historical backdrop, this drama has something to offer everyone.
