A Gem of a Trio in the Wuxia World
Not gonna lie, this drama delivers some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen in a Chinese drama. The dynamic between Zhan Zhao, Ling Long, and Bai Yutang is an absolute gem and one of the show's biggest strengths. Once again, this drama proved that Yang Yang's face card is absolutely undefeated in the C-drama world. Now I'm craving a romance drama starring Yang Yang and Zhang Ruonan as they would look amazing together.
I wasn't a fan of the ending, and I can see why the lack of romance made it less popular with the general audience. I scored the story a bit lower because the ending lacked the closure it deserved. It probably won't make it onto my rewatch list, but it definitely left me with a serious post-drama effect. The fight scenes were so good that they've completely raised my standards. Now, whenever I watch another wuxia or historical drama, the action scenes feel pale in comparison.
This show definitely caters to a more specific group of viewers, but if you pass on it, you're missing one of the greatest wuxia dramas ever made.
