summary: In this modern Mulan retelling, Mulan is a finance bro whose father ends up hospitalized just before making the deal with a man-centric whiskey company run by the Li family. In order to get the deal, Mulan pretends to be Zhao, the senior partner of the company, which would work fine if she didn't have to prove how good she was as a rancher.
tropes:
- fish out of water
- woman in a man's world
- big family-little family
what I liked: the basic Mulan retelling.
what I didn’t like: a little repetitive and she didn't do anything that wasn't her except change her name
overall rating: 3 (of 5 stars)
