I really appreciate the voice actor on this one ... he did a wonderful job of interpreting the character.

That's what it looks like. Still waiting for proper eng subs, tho ....

Just watched a couple of interviews he did after his Scorpion King role ....
PLEASE let this beautiful man get some more roles .... he is so lovely!

I've found a few episodes subbed in Indonesian on YouTube ... Looks like a totally different story line, with only only Chu He reprising his original role. There is a different actor for the male lead, and while the FL is the same actor, the character she portrays is a very different person. Not sure if I'm going to like this version as much, tho... as the ML and FL seem to be more confrontational with each other than with a common enemy, as was the case in season 1.

To be honest, I'll be skimming through to watch the scenes with Chu He in them ... I love Chen SiQi!

IMO it and Ancient Detectives are some of the best recent examples. Lots of decent martial arts representations and good development of the Jiang Hu community / culture.

I like the concept behind this, but the plot was ridiculously and unnecessarily convoluted. I'd love to see this cast given a better script to work with.

Thanks for this in depth review that clearly expresses much of what I was thinking about this drama.
I would add in the high value impact of the costuming and color palate for sets and clothing. It was a pleasure to see the characters wearing colors that highlighted their looks and / or carefully represented their role / status.
The scenic backdrops were also very well selected and quite beautiful.
