The first half of the show was good

Story: At first the story got me interested to see the show and it was working. The first couple of episodes up to around 20 moved at a great pace then the story just dragged and confuses you with the plot twists. I was very disappointed in the fight scenes in the show as they weren't many memorable. The first half of the show featured more fight scenes than the second half. It didn't help that I honestly didn't care about the romance between the male lead and the female lead. I didn't like the female lead's character nor did I care.

Acting/Cast: I like the character Lu Ping and the actor Arthur Chen is someone I will consider watching more films/dramas of. This is my first time seeing him in a drama and the character wasn't the best but not the worst. I was very impressed to find out that the actress who plays Su Tang was very young while filming the drama. I didn't like the acting who plays the female lead. I don't know if it's her acting, the character, or the story but I didn't care enough for her to be with Lu Ping.

Music: The music to me is the best part of the show. Well I certainly loved the soundtrack in the drama. I like the ending song more than the op by not by much and I don't really like pop style music for wuxia dramas. They really did a great job with the soundtracks. They were pretty good memorable one's I like but I can't find the name of them.

Rewatch: The first half you could say of this drama was great if I would watch it again. I don't see myself watching through the whole episodes again based how the second half of the show went.

Overall: I can't say I hated the show because of how poor the second half went or the lack of fight scenes due to the soundtrack and the first half of the show. I ended up finishing the drama instead of dropping too. It was an ok drama.
