General Male Lead & Strategist Female Lead!
General and I is a Chinese historical drama that revolves around the complex relationship between Bai Ping Ting (Angelababy) and Chu Bei Ji (Wallace Chung). Bai Ping Ting is a brilliant strategist, cold and aloof, with the ability to memorize entire books in a short period, suggesting a photographic memory. She’s physically weak but mentally strong, using her intelligence to outmaneuver enemies. Her loyalty to her country, the Yan State, often puts her in a difficult position, torn between her duty and her love for Chu Bei Ji. She’s a peace advocate stuck in the middle of war, often finding herself at odds with the world around her.
Chu Bei Ji, on the other hand, is the God of War—a physically and mentally strong general and prince of Jin State. He is affectionate but also manipulative, torn between his loyalty to his country and his love for Bai Ping Ting. Their relationship is intense, as they start off on opposing sides—he’s a general and she’s a strategist—but it evolves into something more complicated. At first, Chu Bei Ji forces Bai Ping Ting to marry him, even though she despises him and his country. As the story progresses, they begin to respect and trust each other. Together, they become an unstoppable force. While Chu Bei Ji is skilled in martial arts, Bai Ping Ting fights with her intellect, often using her strategic mind to defeat massive armies—sometimes even managing to outwit 100,000 soldiers. Their combined powers make them nearly unbeatable.
Despite some ups and downs throughout the series, the chemistry between Bai Ping Ting and Chu Bei Ji is one of its strongest points, with tension in every scene and an undeniable connection. The intimacy between them is sizzling, making their moments together even more intense. However, the plot does get repetitive at times, especially with the numerous schemes, which caused me to skip through some scenes.
Another key character is He Xia, Bai Ping Ting’s childhood sweetheart who eventually turns into a villain. His thirst for revenge is understandable, as his family was used as collateral to end a war, but his actions go too far, even leading him to kill innocent people in pursuit of revenge. He becomes a fallen hero, but the actor who played him did an incredible job, rivaling the performances of both Wallace Chung and Angelababy.
The series does have some drawbacks. Bai Ping Ting’s loyalty to her beliefs often makes her prejudiced, and she doesn’t always see the bigger picture or recognize the true enemy. Additionally, Chu Bei Ji’s repeated forceful behavior toward her can be off-putting, especially in the early episodes.
In terms of acting, Wallace Chung is fantastic. His performances are solid, with great expressions that fit his character perfectly. However, Angelababy’s portrayal of Bai Ping Ting, though solid in some aspects, could have been better. Her expressions tend to be too limited and stoic, almost all the same, which can make her character feel less dynamic than the script intends.
The music in the series is another highlight, enhancing the emotional moments. While I probably wouldn’t rewatch the entire series, General and I stands out as one of those rare dramas that showcases a strong male lead and a highly intelligent female lead.
