I started this drama out of curiosity and immediately felt overwhelmed by all the action, the fast pace, and the number of characters continuously being introduced. The mysterious Xiao Se (Li Hong Yi) and the charismatic & powerful Wu Xin (Liu Xue Yi) convinced me to continue, and I was pleasantly surprised by the heartwarming friendship that soon formed between the main characters. I'm giving a special shout out to Lei Wu Jie (Ao Rui Peng) because I initially thought was just a silly kid. He has a silly charm and a pure heart!

This drama tells the story of several 'youths' who are honing their skills in the martial arts world, as well as the stories of their elders and the alliances and rivalries between different sects. Although there are a lot of characters throughout, I found myself interested in every single one of them. There wasn't a moment where I felt like anyone was filler. (And the powerful characters aren't all male either.) I don't usually pay much attention to fights in c-dramas but the ones here were very exciting to watch. The struggle between princes in Tianqi city becomes the primary plot later on, and it was a thrilling series of schemes that didn't drag on for too long.

40 episodes didn't feel long at all, and I enjoyed this from beginning to end.
