I just finished this today. ! Yey! ?
I finall gave this drama a shot despite the heavy bad reviews and comments. I mean of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you are not the historical period type then skip this. If you don't like seeing violence, blood and death then skip this. If you have a frail heart and could not take how everyone is plotting to kill each other then skip this.If you like watching beautiful chinese traditional battle scenes with war horses, drums and chariots then watch now. If you enjoy intricate storylines and scheming villains then watch this. If you are a crazy romantic who loves the "one woman man guy" definitely start watching now.
Binged watched for 3 days straight due to quarantine.
hahaha I always do love battle scene dramas and I love how scheming everyone was. My mind always gets excited with Art-of-War Tactics.
Okay so there are lapses on this drama, like there are scenes you can't bear to watch (then skip it hahahaha) and are really really boring. There are also characters that are totally annoying. As an avid kdrama cdrama jdrama fan, there are some scenes which are really predictable. LOL trust me, if you have watched kdrama cdrama and jdramas for too long, this is nothing special. ?
I was touch by how beautiful it was strategically made.
Their selfless love for one another. Their hell bent trust and their courage even when facing death. I love how pretty both the female and male costumes are made. I always did admired historical fight scenes in different locations. Though I know most of it are CGI or green screen effect and may need a little more editing, but still the crew made it possible to be amazing. Congrats
I love the entire cast they fitted their roles well, however I would have wished a FL that would express more. Don't get me wrong, I like Angelababy but no matter what her expressions were, theny seem to be lacking. Unless there would be tears running down her cheeks I would not understand if she is hurt, angry or annoyed. Ohh well prolly due to too much botox. lol
Now on to the ML. Many finds him unattractive but lemme tell you, don't let William's looks fool you, he will charm you all throughout with his love and devotion. His cleverness will trap you. You might wanted someone else in mind for his role but his maturity suited his part well.
P.S. The OSTs are on point in evey scene.
I would definitely recommend this drama for those who love romance in war scenes.

It's very very beautiful and also very sad I cried so much and it doesn't happen that often that I cry in dramas, series and films that's the 2nd time I cried in a drama .I think the actors are very good they harmonise very well with each other and yes some scenes are exaggerated but I can live with that doesn't bother me anymore I love it anyway. 😍❤😭🥰😍

In a world ravaged by war, the four great nations, Jin, Yan, Liang and Qin, are ceaseless in their pursuit of power and ultimate domination. In the midst of this endless conflict, the nations of Jin and Yan clash, and the great house of Jin falls. Forced to flee, the Jin prince, He Xia, and his brilliant military strategist, Bai Ping Ting escape death. But fate is not on their side.Separated during their exodus, He Xia makes his way to the Kingdom of Bai Lan to pursue revenge against the Kingdom of Jin. Meanwhile, Bai Ping Ting finds herself at the mercy of Chu Bei Jie, the Jin army’s greatest general, and the nation’s most beloved prince. Immediately recognized by the prince as the girl he fell in love with years ago, Bai Ping Ting soon finds herself the object of her greatest enemy’s desire.
Eventually recognizing Chu Bei Jie as the boy she once loved, Bai Ping Ting gives in to the desires of her heart, setting into motion a complicated romance that pits the desires of the heart against the loyalties both have for their kingdoms.

I learned the charm of Chinese actors compare to Korean through Chung Wallace (and Chan William). Instead of pretty faces, charismatic portrayal of their characters & passion turned them into heartthrobs. Can't contribute good acting for Angelababy, but lucky for her Chinese drama often dubbed voices, and her perfect heroine character made up what she lacked.
Not many characters stood out to me, except for He Zia for his perseverance . Except for main couple, I found everyone kinda dumb and pathetic. But who cares? Finally found a happy ending that made sense, avoided plot holes, hero & heroine had passionate romance. It's was entertaining from beginning to end.
Drama was basically written to make Bei Jie seem awesome. He's strong, smart, possessive but passionately dedicated to the heroine, self-sacrificing & loyal to his emperor/step-brother, sympathetic to his enemies. He was called unbeatable, god of war, and most desired bachelor - possible future king. Over the top a bit? Writers tried to balance out the hero by giving heroine intelligence, courage and virtue but she was too vulnerable and delicate to fulfill that role. As the story progressed, heroine's intelligence seemed to strengthen and climb higher above everyone else, so there's that. Interactions and match of wit between the couple was a lot of fun.
It's better to not expect a masterpiece historical Chinese drama from GENERAL & I. It's just an entertaining romance story with satisfying ending where bad guys are punished and the couple end happily ever after. Political aspect is short sighted and forced, therefore okay to skip. ^^

Non-spoiler portion of the review:Overall a well-rounded c-drama that I’d recommend. Watch this if you’re looking for very sweet, cute and hot romance with some military strategy and battles. Excellent leads, villain and supporting characters. The reason why I can’t give this a perfect 10 is because it has standard c-drama flaws - fillers were about 10 episodes long, over exaggerated fights and long stares.
I like Angelababy’s acting too. I think her negative reputation about being bad at acting isn’t justified here.
SPOILER AHEAD:
Pros:
- the romance! So hot. Beijie is just so so macho and Pingting is so demure and intelligent.
- Beijie and Pingting’s individual characters (chivalry, strategies, charm)
- well developed villain from start to end.
- good supporting characters.
Cons:
- Bai Pingting’s role as the other half. Biggest frustration is the way Pingting’s character was written with the typical cliche of trying to save her lover by leaving him 10x. If you do it once or twice, it’s fine. But repeat this formula every 3 episodes and it gets really unnecessary and frustrating. The worst filler was the 3 years separation and how they missed each other at every turn.
- CGI - not gonna elaborate on this. I think it’s clearly weird.
- Final battle - whilst it was filmed in an exciting and emotional way, it is also abit predictable and overdramatic.

Nic tylko zmarnujesz swój czas oglądając tą dramę!
Zaczynająć może wspomnę, że spdziewałam się płomienneg romasu z wieloma przeszkodami, lecz przeszkody które były w tej dramie bardzo, ale to bardzo mnie irytowały.Jak do 20 od odcinka, nawet do 25 jest jeszcze ok, to później szlak chce trafić człowieka. Jak można przez 20 kolejnych odcinków pokazywać jak główna bohaterka (niby tak bardzo kochająca generała) ucieka od niego i stwierdza, że lepiej mu będzie bez niej no hit. Nawet później jak odkrywa, że on za nią tęskni nie biegnie do niego, tylko jak jest postawiona pod ścianą idzie z łaską do niego i mu opowiada, że nie może już ukrywać przed nim, że jednak żyje no wtf… jak dla mnie straciła swoje wygodne życie to leci do niego z podkulonym ogonem, dla mnie to nie wygląda jak by go kochała!!! A on jej tak po prostu wybacza, że przez 3 lata udawała martwą no wtf… naprawdę nie kumam tej dramy serio, wiem ze wycierpiała przez niego dużo, no ale ona jemu też piekło zgotowała, więc nie mogę pojąć tej całej historii. Powiedzcie mi jakim cudem byliście w stanie oglądnąć 20 odcinków jak ona uciekała przed nim, no hit! Ja to przewijałam z nadzieją, że jednak się spotkają, a takie rozczarowanie, bo ona go porzuciła. Początkowo gdy nie miała do niego żadnych uczuć było to zrozumiałe, że go zwodziła. Nawet później jak wymusiła na nim 5 lat bez wojny, a już go kochała było do manie wszytsko ok. Póżniej to co ona zaczęła odwalać to normalnie dramat, niby chciała kilka razy dla niego poświęcić życie, ale dal mnie to wyglądało jak idealna strategia. Poźniej jak już do niego wróciła, nagle zrozumiała wszystko i jak wygra zostanie jego cesarzową hahahhaha normalnie padłam :P jak dla mnie to jest najgorsza postać kobieca jaką oglądałam ostatnio w dramie, już wole głupie naiwne główne bohaterki, a nie mądrą i przebiegłą lisice, która dla mnie kalkuluje zyski i jak dla niej jest ok to wtedy wraca do męża itd.
Chociaż muszę przyznać, że kilka razy chciała oddać za niego życie, może jakieś uczucia do niego ma, ale po prostu jest samolubna i postępuje według własnego uznania. Końcowe odcinki mimo wszystko udowadniają, że chyba go kocha, ale ja mam taki mętlik w głowie… Dlatego nie mogę dać wysokiej oceny, na pewno nie wrócę już do tej dramy, jak by tak akcja dramy przebiegała do 25 potem od 54 to wtedy drama była by dla mnei dużo ciekawsza, pozdrawiam

A Lot to Love About This Series
The episodes went by fast. Too fast. I didn't want it to end. I liked how so many of the stories tied up, but I wish there had been happy ending for everybody. Loved the characters - even the ones I hated. The villain was brilliantly played (Sean Sun) - even when you hated his actions you could see the sorrow in him. Loved the ML - Wallace Chung sealed the deal for me from Sword & Brocade. Loved the Liang men. There was a good balance of power between male/female. Loved all the love stories. I just loved this series. Sad it's over - but maybe I will watch it again.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Heavy on the political/tactical drama..
To be honest, I can't remember when was the last time I watched almost as much as I've skipped. This was poorly written and in my opinion a very dragging show.The ML written as an Uber romantic, who's willing to throw everything away for love. FL was written as an uber war tactician but an idiot when it comes to men. Honestly her character is a bit hard to love.
The only reason I finished watching the show was to see if they've a happy ending. Thankfully, they did.
Would I rewatch this? Maybe not ever.

Story
Since i don't know about the story at all, i find this drama has a promising story and it would become a hit if the story is developed well. But in fact, the story isn't well developed. There are several inconsistencies and plot hole within the drama. But fortunately i can grasp the whole big picture of the drama. It is draggy but i don't think it is as draggy as several reviews. The pace for 25 episodes (for me) is consistent and it become inconsistent afterwards. The ending is just good enough. It's is not that satisying or that dissapointing. With such a huge range of characters, this drama shouldn't just end that way.
Acting
All the cast must have done their best in the completion of the drama. But, i concern about the casts. The first male lead sometimes being inconsistent while the first female lead might have problem in expressing sorrow or pain. The casts selection is good already, but the execution of the characters isn't well done. The first female lead surely can act. But, she has problem when it comes to expressing sorrow or pain. I just don't get the feeling about it. A good point from her acting is a natural acting when it comes to calm ambiance. The chemistry is quiet good. The ace of this drama to me is the princess from the enemy's country.
Music
I'm no that fond with the songs from this drama. But it's okay
Conclusion: just watch if you have much time to kill.

Beautiful Story
A perfect ending to an interesting and beautiful executed fictional historial romance drama. The bad guys/gals got what’s coming to them. No killing offof favorite characters. A mostly sensible story with some surprises. Good pacing and acting. Some of the music reminded me of Eternal Love. (10 Miles of Peach Blossoms). A strong intelligent female character who has some instantes of stupidity due to strong emotions. A main male lead that you wish was real. Beautiful scenery, decorated sets and costumes.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Firstly, the male and female are great in parts, inconsistency and follow through left this wonderful dramas langering for some early resolution of a good story/plot, which would have been great for a 30 Eps series instead of 66?
The more I watch these dramas the more I see - palace politics, canniving scheming bitches and pricks too but more women than men that I ponder are all chinese women like this in real I wonder????...the great romance and love relationships that come across the screen I must say are second to none - I sit there with my Hollywood indoctrinated thinking and nod my head that not even HWood could beat C-Dramas, the men actually cry and they actually dont mind looking ugly screaming and crying for their beloved lady. The same with the ladies too. The bitches in most of the series are great actresses and they stir up the juices for wanting to see them get their comeuppance or Yusss take that be-arch, but the most frustrating is the pace of the each of the dramas - there are only 3 to date that are up in my top 5 that have mastered the pace of romantic storyline - Eternal Love between Ye Hua and SuSu?Qianqian / Ashes for Love between Xaofeng & Jimni / Fuyao and Wuji in Legend of Fuyao....whoever directed those did a wonderful job of keeping ME waiting with abated breath and glued to each episode that I have had to watch them again to get the C-Drama fix and appreciation of good tv making.
In ending, The General and I had wonderful content that would have made it up there with my top 3 but the pace of the developing story was WAYYYYYY tooooooo slow......when it didn't need to be....
Rating - 6/10
