Excellent wuxia that focuses on loyalty, brotherhood and righteousness

Excellent wuxia that focuses on loyalty, brotherhood and righteousness. Highly recommend it!

I'm very proud of Li Hong Yi in this drama, so glad to see him well-styled to show his handsome, charismatic self and his strong acting abilities. I'm also impressed with the rest of the main and supporting cast -- particularly the male characters.

Additionally, CGI was pretty good. I think if there was a bigger budget, they could do even cooler CGI. The imagination and creativity is certainly present.

Hope to see more wuxia dramas in the future that show this level of storytelling, character development and brotherhood.

A unique, unforgettable cdrama

Amazing martial arts choreography, breathtaking cinematography, and a compelling spy assassin storyline = a cdrama that is unique and unforgettable. It will feed your inner demon with the delicious darkness that lingers in each well-crafted scene. If you're craving comedy, there are unexpected hilarious scenes that will make you chuckle in memory.

Romance is aplenty with 4 CPs, and you can choose to ship your sweet, heartwarming CP, your spicy hot CP, your adorable CP and/or your star-crossed CP.

Also, the excellent acting from an eye candy cast is just the lovely cherry on top! Enjoy watching!!

Stick with this cdrama, and it'll surprise you!

Even though I started watching this cdrama for Zhao Lusi, I dropped this cdrama a few times while it was still airing because I had a hard time dealing with the ML's poor decisions and the frustrating, successful manipulations from Hua Shu. I just could not seem to continue past Episode 10, so I decided to pause and reconsider coming back later if I had more patience again.

After watching a few other cdramas, I finally decided to come back and try again. And I will say -- I am super glad that I did, because starting with Episode 11 (where Nether Realm is introduced), it gets better and better with each episode. To my surprise, I actually ended up binging Episodes 11-40 in only 2.5 days. My absolute favorite episodes are when the Phoenix Queen is reborn and finally here to make sure everyone who was evil / condescending gets their comeuppance. It's also great to see Yuan Qi work hard at trying to win Feng Yin's heart, and I loved that he did what he did at that one wedding. ???? No spoilers given, you'll just have to watch to find out what he did hahaha!!

For anyone hesitating to watch this cdrama, or had dropped in the middle like I did -- I highly recommend giving this cdrama one more try. At the very least, watch when the Phoenix Queen is reborn, because from then on, it is sooo very satisfying!! ☺️
