TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!

I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm geniunely fuming. I'm literally lost for words. I cannot describe the hype I had for this drama just a month or so after Heroes. We are in 2022 people and we are getting such output from the modern day screenwriters. This is a prime example of a small man in a huge suit; the cast was brilliant and I won't take that away from them as they did their best to fulfil their parts, the music was bang on as it was the right music for the right type of drama and the effects just came in time, the editing was also bang on but they were all let down by the story. That story writer let them down massively; You literally cannot turn your back to your actors and the rest of the team like that.

Let's first delv into the story: It was basically drag and you kept going towards the wrong road but you kept on still. The story hits me like one written by an arrogant or amateur writer, am sorry! That's how I'm feeling right now. I would kindly want to know why that young girl (Xiaomei) was kept in the drama for that long and even given all that screentime and why was she playing the role of an adult. Then we go on, why did those two young kids suddenly become an issue in the climax episodes then theree's also the medicine sect story with the silly disciples who were to be honest introduced poorly to the story. My main issue if you're to ask me is the useless side stories (Maybe it's what the story is all about: "Side story") in the drama. The mistakes in this drama put straight: The Feng Tiannan story shouldn't have gone on for that long, Guinong and his wife carried on for too long, The medicine sect disciples were really pointless Xiaomei's role misplacement. And that's just a tip of the iceberg.

To sum this drama, it's just poor. Poor from the writer and the rest of the team had to try their best to get the drama into line but it was too late for me. I carried on watching because I wanted to see the last episodes of the fights. The drama itself is definitely not worth your time - you serious drama watcher. It's just like Legend of the nine tails fox if you have watched.
