Watched the drama. And I kept thinking about "The Ingenious One." Which was much better. The story, the subplots, the acting, the art work of the film and everything else. The main character was a very handsome man. Later I found out that he was very famous too... Let's hope he gets something really good to play

I may not be the right person to answer - but still. The world has become faster and people have become more "impatient", so to speak. Not all, but the tendency is. It is possible that it is this little "weapon" called a mobile phone in our hands. If you once had to get dressed and go to the library to get information, now you can press a button in your pajamas and slippers and voilà -The whole world is there. Films were watched in the cinema (along with everything else nice and a little sinful that went with it). And it was nice when a new series of an exciting film came out once a week. You could immediately buy wine and other goodies and watch it. It was an event. Actually, I watch films (now Chinese films) out of interest in mythology. And especially the transformation of this basic "hero myth". And other eternal archetypes as well. In both falling and rising cultures. I myself am a representative of this so-called "slow life". And some younger people may also turn there when this "impatience" passes. Whether this now answers the question - I have no idea. But I plan to watch this series too - I am going to my "shabby chic" porch, where familiar wild foxes (waiting for something "good") are waiting for me, I comb my cat, sip wine and watch a film on the internet. Someone " "impatient" probably invented internet .. Otherwise I would watch the cat and the foxes chase each other in the garden every night.....So this modern impatient world has a good side too.

watched the whole movie out of interest in hero myths. It was a great movie and with a really happy ending. As in a proper myth - bad boys and bad girls are the most charming and beautiful. So is this movie. But that's not the best. The best thing is that the "hidden protagonist"( and the most handsome actor in movie ) Liu Sui Feng ends the happiest. He doesn't exactly have a happy beginning - abandoned, suffering and not particularly cared for by anyone. And yet he is smart, not too trusting, not too "good", knows how to be grateful where necessary and also make sacrifices (when nothing else helps). Loyal - but not in a stupid way. And hurray - he finally gets the most beautiful girl (who is not a gentle bird but loyal,sweet , cute ,patient and intelligent).... All the other characters (the invisible "middle child", the youngest son "golden egg" and the oldest "annoyingly fair and "proper" will disappear into eternity.....Where is their place in the myth. And yet - the young "golden egg" will come back someday, but a little wiser - maybe if he happens to find the next spy who steals, cheats, etc....then he will never again announce loudly - "I'm going to the police with this evidence...."That means death for sure .....The simple-minded "boy" must disappear - otherwise there will be no passionate and loyal "red phoenix" for you. Great..

I agree with you. I just watched "The Longest Day in Chang'an" and I admired the camera work, colors, costumes and interiors. Great. Same with "The Leaque of Noblemans" and "Fangs of Fortune"... The entire design, interiors and film shots were well thought out and the efforts that were seen were also effective - the visuals were enjoyable. Everything in this film was raw and at times random. It is possible that since success was certain (that cute actor with the fluffy tuft of hair is probably quite famous) - they didn't make any effort. Which is a shame, because the story was great. But I hope that the money that was saved on the production at least went to the actors' salaries......

But why not try to explain it then ? People are very capable of understanding poetic explanations. Cultures are not so different in their human so-called "ground of being"If something important gets lost due to simplification - I really want to know what it's really like.

It was decent, funny and entertaining. Along with the cuteness meter at the last frontier.Absurd, fun and the actors were top notch. The men were not only curled, varnished and made up, like ancient "male concubines" in so-called hero dramas, but really over the top. Flowers on their heads and faces, like on mannequins in a luxury department store. I liked it right away. If I usually leave a movie unfinished at the moment when the beautiful souls belonging to the "just sect" with flowing hair start chasing demons while flying, then this movie was like a black humor summary of the whole wuxia style. There could be something like that - I hope that China has its own so-called Tarantino, who can film a funny story out of a hero cliché......

As always, the bad guy in a drama is the cutest. Because it's boring to play decent people. All the heroes are so heroic that they look alike, like two drops of water. I always confuse them in dramas, who's playing who. Everyone is very beautiful and well-dressed. But since we wouldn't need heroes without bad guys, the most important character in every movie is the "bad guy". And the bad guy in this movie was incredibly charming. He reminded me of my school sweetheart. He was fun to play with.......But he reminds me of me and makes me laugh.....I hope that actor Deng Kai gets many more great bad guy roles.......

Like it , like it and like it....... Much better than these so-called "hit films". Since I watch films after my daily work and Hollywood has become weak, I accidentally (actually starting, as a Westerner would, from the stories of "Judge Di"books ) ended up watching Chinese films. My opinion should not be taken seriously at all. Because I also understand why in category A films the men men have strong make-up ,their hairstyles are unprecedented and theyr hair and lipstic don't even get damaged when fighting or dying.And there is a deadly serious fight to save the world. Usually I stop at the point ,where Ml saves the naive FL for the third time. But I really like "Duel on mont Hua" series. In this drama, the men are not beautyboys and have a cute messy hair, their characters are great and a bit humanly funny. Strong women are also believable - a man has to be poisoned ten times. To keep him under control. I laughed like a little hyena..... Besides my undisputed favorite "The Great Shaolin", and with the cute meter "White cat legend", this is the series that I really enjoy. Even knitting in front of the TV got messed up.....
