A Must Watch
"I won. I made a bet with God. I bet that you like me,I bet that you would give up your choice to live, to me."
Such strong female characters 😎😎🔥
Shangguan Qian-"Weishan ,Please show me mercy."
Yun Weishan-"Do we have it?"
From beginning to the end (except the last few mins),It was fabulous. The cinematography was beautiful 😍 ❤️. Fighting sequences were like swords dipped in ink ,used as brush to write a poetry for Moon burning with the sun's energy. Be it scenes from Wufeng training girls drenched in muddy water and blood,to Yun Weishan fighting and winning against Jin Fan (who isn't even using his 30% energy) ,to Gong Ziyu fighting for his beloved with his messy, inexperienced and low skills, to Gong Shangjue who is taking revenge for his little brother's death, to The intense fight of Wufeng V/s the Gong Family.
The characters were soooooo amazing-
Yun Weishan - She has my heart. A low level Chi who has many secrets and is flawless in fighting. Soft hearted but so strong that makes her character perfect. Esther Yu finally performing a mature character was such cherry on the top for me , after watching her being serious for few minutes in dramas like Lovegame in the Eastern Fantasy and Love between fairy and devil, I really wanted her to watch in mature roles.My favourite character from this drama. Her struggles, her sister's story is much more tragic and the end. Freedom is extravagant for me. A woman who only dreamt of freedom,finds herself more entangled in the politics and betrayal of this Martial Arts World.
Gong Ziyu - messy boy who isn't interested in power ,travels towards maintaining, accepting and respecting the responsibility. The growth of Gong Ziyu's character- from a boy to a Man, a person who was appointed as the Sword Wielder overnight,who learns to love,to respect legacy and to understand responsibility ,his journey from Ziyu to The Sword Wielder captures one's heart. The scene where Gong Ziyu gives a cloud(thousand years ice slab) to Yun Weishan,while expressing that - There is a lock in my heart and only you have the key, and Yun asking him to believe her this once - Mann it was beautiful, emotional and tear worthy.
Gong Shangjue - The cruel, intense, intelligent character that hides his fears and sadness . Never thinks about himself but throughout the drama , the essence of his character is revealed bit by bit which makes him an interesting person to be curious about.
Shangguan Qian- She loved only one person - herself. She was much manipulate who also had a soft spot but it never became the obstacles in her mission. At one point of time ,everyone in the Gong Residence was plotting against her and still she manages to fool them.
Gong Zishang - Her character was beautifully written - a selfless woman ,in love with Jim Fan while hiding her true emotions,scars and fears behind the veil of foolish acts. The scenes where she buys the whole lantern cart , desperately waiting for Jin Fan and him secretly admiring her sincerity and love- is just soooooo good like it melts your heart.
Even the other minor characters hold such a strong presence on the story that all you can do is admire the writing and the direction of this drama.
The three trials were interesting, engaging and the way they were unfolded, the way they tests the candidates with calm mentors - Such fun. Like everything is so intense that you don't want to miss a second of this drama.
Comedy ,thriller,action,romance ,mystery, - everything.
A drama packed with 10 on 10 moments , characters,plot, chemistries ,scenes, fighting sequences, meaningful and mysterious flashback stories.
The only sad thing it has is ---The ENDING?????????????? And to know the fact that there will be no second season of it😩
A MUST WATCH💝
