i didn't know what to expect when first watching this drama. it was really interesting from the start but i was also able to take breaks in between episodes. as an avid historical drama watcher, i can usually predict the storyline, but with this drama everything was a surprise.

i loved all the characters in this drama and their acting was on point. especially the ones who are really good at fighting... just out of this world. i even liked some of the villains.

honestly i didn't pay much attention to the music which was pretty shocking because usually the music is one of the more important aspects to me, but for some reason the music just didn't stand out this time.

i don't know about rewatching yet as i just finished this yesterday. i'm gonna need a break before even thinking about rewatching it. but there is a chance i will in the future.

overall just a really well put together drama. had some humorous aspects and the fighting scenes (again) are so good.







MINI SPOILER (except you'd only understand if you watched the drama):
i know they're probably planning to film a season two, so i want to see more of 黄蛮儿, he seems like such a wholesome person and he's really good at fighting so i wanna see more of that. i also want to see 徐凤年 at his full potential. also the guy from 龙虎山 who said he was gonna be the best in the world... i wanna see where that goes
