A Gem in the Drama Industry
This series has a very captivating story, plot lines, twists, aesthetic value, and a perfect balance of humor, romance, action, and drama.Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi as headliners are already a superb combination of actors. I usually see Lusi in cute rom - coms but in this series, she is definitely something else, Yang Yang speaks conveys emotions through his eyes and it is very believable. Also, the supporting casts did their job perfectly.
The storyline and the plot twists, some are cliche but I can say it is not boring to watch. The Lines are well written.
The aesthetic of the series is just so good, you already have visuals like lusi and yang yang yet the cinematography, costumes, and CGI effects were done so well.
Overall, I rate this drama a 10/10 must-watch! I laughed, cried, and relate to some of the characters in the drama. Thank you for this masterpiece.

Hei-Bai Fengxi = best duo
Overall 11/10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨
Who Rules The World is such an incredible drama! I truly enjoyed the entire experience of watching this. 40 episodes were enough but I would have loved even more! I feel that shows just how good the drama is. I was an absolute trainwreck during some of the final episodes but I truly enjoyed it! Following the story of Hei-Bai Fengxi was so fun and just the development of the characters blew me away. Zhao Lusi has yet again showed me that she is such an amazing actress and I have yet to watch a drama of hers that does not impress me. Yang Yang also brought his character Feng Lanxi to life in such a way that I could not help but fall in love. The plot twists keep you on the edge of your seat and the slow/forbidden romance is to die for!
Highly, highly recommend watching!!

Totally love it
Great movie, great casts, great music!Had this on my "Want to watch" list for some time but was hesitating in watching it because it was 40 episodes long and I rarely have the time to binge that many. But, no regrets doing the binge.
The series is awesome, alot of familiar actors and actresses in this series, including my favorites Yang Yang and Zhao LuSi. The storyline is indeed interesting and awesome, surrounded with loads of action, drama, romance and even humor. Yang Yang and Zhao LuSi indeed have great chemistry together, be it romantically or the humor parts. I especially love watching the parts where you find a confused Yang Yang when it came to Zhao LuSi's funny antics. It is especially funny to watch how, from the beginning, that the Male Lead actually likes the Female lead but is oblivious to it. The jealous moments are really cute to watch also. Overall, the entire cast for this series really did a great job bringing this series to life - especially the evil Stepmother queen (with looks and attitude xD).
The music paired with this series is also very beautifully paired. Love every single song they have. Too bad that Yang Yang and LuSi did not do a duet together. Would have loved to hear these 2 voices together - have listened to all of their individual songs.

The chemistry tho
I've really like Zhao Lusi since Romance of Tiger & Rose and she is just as great in this even though the her character is this is completely different as the martially adept, charismatic and daring Bai Feng xi . Yang Yang is dashing and passionate as Hei Feng xi and their chemistry is off the charts . Loved the story as well . It is full of intrigue and twists and I feel like everyone got the ending they deserved. Plenty of light hearted and cute scenes between the two leads. I would have liked maybe a few more episodes to flesh out the ending a bit but overall I loved the show and would definitely rewatch .Was this review helpful to you?
Power Couple
As a wuxia/xinxia fan and an avid novel/manga/manhwa/manhua reader of martial arts/murim genre, I find this cdrama really good with strong fl and ml. This became by far my favorite cdrama.The only flaws are the ending which did not follow the novel and the plot which became so-so on the middle of the series.

Great drama, great pace and good acting!
A MUST WATCH if you love YY and LS!What can I say? The whole drama was well paced, covering sufficiently for every character. I loved how despite the odds against the ML, the ones who were by his side stayed true to him despite everything like ML’s elder brother who didn’t even share the same mother as him and always supports ML against his younger bro who he shares the same mum/dad.
I also liked how the drama didn’t focus on love triangle and Qiwu backing out of the “love triangle” and forming a great relationship with the FL.
The acting of all characters were good. OST a little weak as there were only 1-2 main songs played throughout the show.
The ending was done in a great way where it is a little open as we all know how there’s the presence of the magical flower. Hopefully a S2?
All in all, a great paced drama with no episodes of boredom!

Breathtaking drama
Excellent drama. The plot is very impressive, it takes me to an ancient time that boredom doesn't exist, everything is done to be perfect. Each actors and actresses gives justice to their character. You can see that they had it prepared and practice each lines of their dialogue to put an emotion that audience can really feel the satisfaction. I am fan of Zhao lusi and yes, she nailed it. She portrays different kinds of emotion, sometimes she shows her badass role, then funny role and as a normal person who feel the love of Yang yang but she hards to think him as a man. Her fighting skills very impressive so also Yang Yang. I know they struggle to do those scenes but they perfect it.The chosen setting of the drama are really suitable for every scene, you can really see its relevant to the drama. The editing are perfect, as if all the fighting skills where protagonist and antagonist are naturally done by them. The transition are all good.
For the background song, its all suitable to the drama, it added a strong emotion and feelings of it.
I really suggest to rate this drama as high as 10, the overall output are so goood. Can't wait for the next episodes.

You can't miss such a wonderful WUXIA drama!!
I was looking forward to this drama before it was broadcast! Because Yang yang and Zhao Lusi are well-known Chinese actors, and I am also a fan of costume drama. I especially like the clothing and culture of that era, so I pay close attention to this drama. I've watched 10 episodes, which didn't disappoint me. Both the cast and the martial art scenes met my expectations.I saw Yang yang's "You Are My Glory" and "The King’s Avatar" before. Both of them are modern dramas. This drama is the first time I saw his costume drama. He perfectly fits the role. Hei Fengxi is a man with strong force, intelligence and strategy. Yang yang plays this role very brilliantly.
I have also seen Zhao Lusi's "The Romance of Tiger and Rose". She plays a lively and lovely girl, but in this drama, Zhao Lusi plays a Jianghu leader. She is valiant and wise, which is completely different from her previous role.
ML and FL are also very matched. The chemical between them is very magical. They are both well-known figures in the Jianghu. Finally, they love each other. The story line attracts me very much!

Awesome Drama.. Can't wait to watch..
Who Rules The World 🌍 is the bestest drama I have seen till now.It's the only drama for which I have waited for a long time. Everything is perfect in this drama. The drama has strong+handsome male lead Yang Yang and strong+cute+gorgeous Zhao Lusi. They both are my favorite. And the songs of this drama are also superb. The song unparalleled sung by Liu Yuning perfectly fit's in this drama and the romantic song breath of rain is also so beautiful. The fighting scenes in this drama is also awesome. All the cast did their best. But I loved the fighting scenes of Zhao Lusi. She did a great job in this new character. She took the challenge and won it. I also loved the chemistry between the leads Hei-Bai Feng Xi. I can't wait till 40. Love this drama and everything of this drama. Everything is perfect in this drama and all the cast are perfect for their character. Waiting for the next episodes.😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️

Almost but not quite...
The series started off with a bang and jumps right into action, which may cause some confusion as to who is who and what's going on with the different factions. It does come together more with each episode and it kept me engage until around episode 10 (less the FL/ML flirtatious scenes). I've been debating on whether to sit through more episodes for the positives, but the negative are starting to outweigh.Positives
- An interesting underlying plot and somewhat unique relationship with the three main princes. There is quite a complex relationship between the three which is intriguing.
- The overall actors are great and the action scenes are done well.
- The gradual unfolding of various character histories would be a reason why I'd want to continue watching.
- The ML has been the most interesting character so far with his multiple roles (though his skills and charm are starting to falter slightly).
- The politics (so far) are actually not as boring and long-winded as with other palace dramas, though I can see its potential in becoming repetitive with 40 episodes.
Negatives
- The FL is supposed to be on par with the ML per the synopsis. But other than having high martial arts skills, she's been quite useless. I've been waiting episode after episode for her to step up to the plate to no avail. She's yet another one of those FLs who constantly states she doesn't want anyone's help, but then requires help from the ML over and over again. You'll get scenes such as her twisting an ankle and the ML is then carrying her on his back. But we are supposed to accept that she is jianghu tough and independent.
- The romance between the FL and ML feels overwhelmingly forced. And the corny of their scenes together has been so bad that I've been skipping through most of it to get to the other parts of the plot. One scene in particular that was so off, I would have fired whoever wrote it in. In the middle of a conversation between the FL and ML, two birds just suddenly falls from out of nowhere giving her the opportunity to just randomly ask him to take care of the white bird while she takes the black bird for obvious symbolic reasons. What??
