Love at First Fight -武十郎

The Chinese culture favors the male gender much more than the female. Afraid that her husband would find a mistress to birth him a son, Mrs. Wu dresses up and pretends that their 10th child is a boy. Wu Shi Lang grows up playing with the other boys, learning kung fu, and getting into fights to please her father. However, she gets older and wants to wear dresses like her other 9 sisters. This is a funny drama as Wu Shi Lang conceals her identity and at the same time has a desire to reveal it. She often sneaks out at night putting on makeup and wearing dresses and just dancing happily being able to be her true self. The drama begins as she falls in love with her childhood friend whom she practices and fights kung fu with, but is unable to tell him the truth. Things get really complicated for her when she fights in a tournament to help her crush, but it was a tournament to become the fiance to a wealthy girl. The storyline is quite complicated with the love square between Wu Shi Lang, her crush Li Yao Shou, and the siblings of Lei Sheng Da and Lei Xiao Yu. Overall, it is an entertaining show to watch even though the plot is not possible. It wouldn't be an asian drama if the plot wasn't exaggerated a bit. I rate this drama 5 out of 5.
