An old man with red sneakers stole the show.

A story about a college boy who, following the desecration of his grandfather's tomb, finds himself entering the world of Outsiders. A society with superpowers and qi at its core. Because of an allegedly hereditary skill, he is pursued by adversaries. On his way to the truth behind his origins, he meets an insomniac, an idol, a brainwasher, a white-haired Taoist, an unpredictable shovel lady, and a grandfather with red sneakers.

It felt like watching a martial arts drama in a modern setting with fantasy elements. Dramas with this type of backdrop are typically predictable, with the younger generation making their mark on the world and the seniors executing power plays. However, even with the cliches, I was taken aback by this one's distinctive scene changes. The comic elements were executed quite well; however, occasionally they fell flat.

It was my first time watching the main actors, and they gave a wonderful performance. Especially Wang Ying Lu. Her portrayal of Feng BaoBao with innocent and striking boldness came out fittingly.

The fight choreography was great, with good CGI. Despite appearing to be an unrelated plot, the main characters’ intricate backstory was cleverly woven into the primary narrative. The title clearly corresponds to the Zhang Chulan, who believed he was alone, that he had no one, that he was nothing in comparison to the world, but who eventually built his own family. Overall, a fun watch with some funny moments. recommended for those who wish to watch superpowers with martial arts in a present-day context.
