Once, the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden, serving beside the Jade Emperor, two lovers, were banished to the mortal world for falling in love and condemned to endure ten lifetimes of love and separation. Their story now reaches its tenth and final lifetime. Juk Yin Ji, the daughter of the Juk family, disguises herself as a man and travels to the Siu Yiu Sect to study martial arts. Along the way, she is rescued from danger by Leung Jung Saan and Ma Sing Yan. After arriving at the sect, Yin Ji and Jung Saan gradually grow close, and when he accidentally discovers her true identity, their friendship blossoms into love. Their happiness is short-lived when Sing Yan suddenly returns from the capital and orders Yin Ji to go home. Before parting, she and Jung Saan promise to reunite so that he can formally ask for her hand in marriage, unaware that an elaborate scheme is already threatening their future together.

Reviews
I had very little expectations of this movie. I didn't really know the story and I definitely didn't know the actors, which meant I was a blank slate.
It was a wonderful experience. First of all, the romance feels real. You can see them falling for each other piece by piece, and it's that deep, profound affection kind of love. They like being around each other. Second, the villain. He really did it for me—as in, I could totally get behind our heroine trying to protect the hero from him, because Dude was legitimately off his rocker. That's the kind of thing not many stories pull off well; it just reads as noble idiocy. I was so pleased that this was not the case with this movie.
Next, the look and feel of the film. It's nothing amazing, but it feels and looks good, especially the mountain scenes. The end scene is also awesome. I also have to mention the music. It really carried the mood, and was never intrusive.
Last, the actors. They're natural, have wonderful chemistry, and I really enjoyed watching them. It might be a stupid point to mention, but I also enjoyed the fact that the lead actor is not a stick? Like, he LOOKS like someone who has spent his life dedicated to martial arts?
The end isn't for everybody, but if you're in the right kind of mood, THIS is the movie to watch.
