Worth the Wait

Zhao Lusi is a talented and beautiful actress -her acting skills are at a different level - very expressive and committed to the storyline. ML and FL make a nice-looking couple. Both portray their roles very well and appear to a good pairing. They can act silly together and also have serious conversations. Costumes are beautiful, cinematography is magical, and music matches perfectly with the story. I have already watched the first 6 episodes multiple times. Can’t wait for more episodes to be released. Very entertaining- highly recommend!

Update: Finished watching… and other than wishing there were more episodes to expand on the ending a bit more, I stand by my original review. Bravo to the cast, costume designers, and cinematographers!

Entertaining

I finally had a chance to watch this and was not disappointed. I liked the overarching storyline but admittedly had to rewind periodically to understand who some of the new characters and subplots inserted throughout the first half of the series were. But what kept me watching was the entertaining dynamics of the bond/friendship development and humorous interactions of the 3 main characters Xiao Se, Wu Xin, and Lei Wu Jie. I also enjoyed the fact that the female characters were also powerful fighters. Almost every episode was action filled. The love connection between Xiao Se and the female love interest wasn’t very strong. The music matched well with the scenes - there’s a a couple in particular that I really like. Perfect casting of the 3 main ML’s: Li Hong Yi’s calm, cool and elegant demeanor, Ao Rui Peng’s silly, naive, and high-energy, and Liu Xue Yi’s serious and domineering presence.

Overall - very entertaining and will be on my rewatch list.
