What can I say about this??? This is SO GOOD!!! It has become in my favorite Wuxia so quickly and undoubtedly!!! Ashes of love have been always at the top ( Deng Lun may have or have not A LOT to do with that) and I still love it but after watching this I am just OBSESSED.
My absolute favorite thing about this drama is the female lead, her character is SUCH A BADASS. And I think thats why this has taken the crown as my new favorite against many other Wuxias. Usually female leads are written as such useless characters, waiting for the rescue of the male leads, this one is not waiting for the rescue of ANYONE!!! She is strong and so ready to fight everyone to save everyone she loves!!! She has ideas and is smart and witty!!
Also! She is so brave and feisty!!! Love her so much.
I never watched the actress (Zhou Ye) playing Yanhui before but I am a fan! She is absolutely killing the role! And she has so much chemistry with Neo Hou as the Dragon King I have been following him for a while and watched him already in a few dramas ( my faves when we where Young, and a Girl Like Me)
My least favorite thing has to be the dead fish kisses, but im so used to about them in asian dramas, I don't have tears to cry anymore.....
Everything has just so much quality, but specially the story. Is so original, fresh and absent of clichés.
Filled with multiple characters with different personalities which gives to the story a lot of angles and flavors. There's a lot of comic moments and lighthearted scenes between the drama so it doesn't get too heavy.
Also, there's not just one plot, there are so many different ones, and when one finishes another one starts and there's subplots and backstories as well. Nothing repetitive at all. Is just so entertaining. Not like other dramas dragging the same plot over and over.
Effects and CGI are awesome too and main leads have loads of changes of clothes and costumes which are beautiful, you can tell is not a low budget production.
No rushed ending and no cliché either!
Watch it! You won't regret it.
