Incredibly Fun and Entertaining Wuxia Drama with Impressive Fighting Scenes~!!

Wow! I'm truly impressed. I never thought this drama's going to be this good and entertaining to watch. It reminded me why you shouldn't judge a drama merely out of peoples opinions and feedbacks.

Well, First thing first, SCRATCH all those negative feedbacks I've red about this drama even before I decided to watch this. People do really have different tastes and expectations to almost every single thing however I felt like this production didn't deserve any of those at all. In fact, this drama served and exceeded so much of my pre-set expectations; thank god I trusted my instinct and chose this one among many others.

There are really so much good things about this drama and this review might become 20+ pharagraph long (Hahaha) so let me just enumerate most of them.

× The smooth, Fun and entertaining story that got me hooked up from the very start till the end. I swear to god there's no dull moments in this drama.

× Fighting Skills are mostly impressive and detailed. You can definitely see that they took their time to practice those stunts to make it look pleasing and cool in the camera.

× Characters are well coordinated and for some reason they found a way to make them look interesting that you got no choice but to remember them even when they only appear 1-2 times for a short period of time.

× Cinematography, Color scheme and overall representation of the drama look pleasant in the eye. Nothing extra and bizarre going on and the costume are well matched and fits each individual characters.

Oh well... A drama can never be perfect and I admit to have creased my forehead several times due to some repetitive and ridiculous story plots and twists so let me mention some of those stuff as well.

× Let's start with the 6 member of Top 10 Villain who're supposedly strong and wicked but are just a bunch of tricky, gullible and weak individuals. I expected them to have atleast intermediate Kung Fu skills but they just don't. Bunch of disappointments on that area honestly + they lack an actual sense in the story and was killed as if they don't have anything better planned for them.

× Overly gullible Female Characters... I'm just so sick of people making women look strong and tough only to make them highly deceiveable and emotionally weak. Come on! Y'all can do better than that.

× Last but definitely not the least is the somehow predictable and bland ending. Like, How do I even start with how cringy and plain their actings are at the final episode? It felt forced and awkward. Did they shoot that scene at the very beginning? cause I never had any problem with their acting eversince aside from the final episode. That realy made me go "Ehhh! what was that? Lol".

Anyways, A drama that everyone can enjoy specially to those who are looking for nice, smooth and light Wuxia drama.

Story - 9.5, I contemplated a lot and ended up with this score after considering everything. Don't get me wrong, story is real good and have good ending. It's just that most of the scenes during the last episode felt so ordinary and plain. It felt like their creative juices was squeezed and drained so much throughout the entire run of the drama that they just throw what's the most obvious and simple at the end.

Acting/Cast - 9.5, This drama got the most irritating antagonists there is but that's actually why I love this story even more. I was very amazed on the way they personified and executed their characters to the point where I hated them so much too. What a love-hate relarionship Hahaha + The only thing that made me disappointed about it is the Final Episode. That's just so underwhelming in every single way. /sighs/

Music - 10, I love the choice of BGMs and I'm really impressed on how they inserted those sounds in the most comfortable way. They were all smoothly placed and Ballad is everything. <3

Rewatch Value - 10, This drama is high-praise-worthy and is one of the drama that made me binge-watch continuously this year. It is so exciting and made me look forward to each and every coming episodes without a miss. Will definitely rewatch it 100%.

Overall - 9.5, It should've been Perfect 10 but the continuous display of women manipulation + lack of actual character sense and value made me frustrated.
Not to mention the ever-plain-ending that made it even worse which led me to this conclusion after so much contemplation.
