Start it episode 1 minute 22, finish it episode 40 minute 22 (or episode 36 for better ending...)
The most important thing I should say to everybody who is thinking on watching this drama is… go on, but skip the modern part of the drama. It has nothing to do with the rest of the drama. Really NOTHING. The best way to enjoy this drama is to start from the 22nd minute in the first episode and to watch until minute 21 in episode 40, if you want to be true to the story. If you prefer an open (happy?) ending, don’t watch the last 4 episodes.
Story: I only started this 40 episode drama because I wanted to see Zhu Yi Long. I had seen him in Guardian and he was amazing, and for the same reason as I decided to see this drama I did in the past for True Friend (big dissapointment indeed). So, after haven’t liked his role in True Friend I decided to try again with this. And OMG, he’s amazing in this one.
It’s a melodrama, so you have a lot of characters in 2D, that overact their role and sometimes they do several things nobody could never ever understand. But, the two male leads and the female lead were ok.
Even if it is a long drama, there’s no moment when you are bored (exception done for the present time). All the time things are happening, sometimes you would not understand why the characters are doing them, sometimes you are going to smile because the CGI effects are terribly bad done, and most of the time you would like to hit Xu Xing Chen cause he became a really crazy (and coward) character.
The female lead was ok. I prefered her at the beginning when she was more a “kun-fu woman I do what I want, what I like when I want” than “I need to be saved for any man around”, but, in her defense, with Fu Sheng, they have an amazing chemistry, and she worked well with both male leads. But, sometimes I could’nt understand very well her decisions...
And, on the other hand, you have Fu Sheng… so brave, so affectionate, so so cool… with an adorable smirk smile… you wouldn’t care less that the other characters had no development or kind of logical actions if you had him.
Music was ok… I have no more to say about that.
Rewatching: I’ve been already watching some videos in youtube about this drama, so I suppose I’ll see it again probably in the future, following my own advise not to watch nor the beginning nor the end.
If you do like that, not caring at all about the leads in the present time, you are going to enjoy much more this drama.
