A typical wuxia drama but an interesting one

I come here because many of my favourite actors (Yang Yang, Zhao Lu Si, Xuan Lu, Liu Rui Lin, etc.) are in the same show. But sadly Liu Rui Lin is somehow an antagonist here (know him as a carefree guy and a good friend in Miss Crow and Mr Lizard).

Back to the storyline. the story sets in a warring state period, but it is not a historical drama. Therefore, one may guess how the story unfolds. Simple Simple. The story is about the power struggles between royal family members and between states. The question is how the black fox and the white fox deal with these power struggles. So far, I think that the best part of the storyline is how the black fox takes care of the white fox. That's sweet and special.

In terms of acting, all of them are good. The fighting scenes are familiar, nothing new.

Plot, story and the ML and FL chemistry

This series is worth waiting for, it gives me goosebumps every episode especially how the ML and FL fighting skills and how they save each other. This WRTW is my most anticipating, and I cant wait for the next episode which is the 11&12 up to ep 40. I really love the character of Bai Feng HeiXi, how they understand each other move, how they argue, how they fight against the enemy and as well as how they save and protect each other when one is in danger. It also gave me how the Hei Fengxi family treat him and so on. I can't wait for the upcoming episode that makes me excited. Waiting!

Its Boring Plot

The Plot:
Because the tag is wuxia I thought there would be lots of typical wuxia fight scenes with some political intrigue as usual plus ML and FL who are great people in the wuxia world. What I didn't expect was that the plot was more political than wuxia, which made me disappointed. If the political plot was interesting at least I wouldn't be as disappointed as this, but unfortunately the political plot presented is very boring, made over and over again, and resolved easily and then repeated again and again, even I already guessed what would happen.

Chemistry :
At first I liked the chemistry when they fought each other but were friends and the relationship was neither bad nor good which was interesting but then the process of them turning into liking each other seemed too fast in the middle of a plot full of political intrigue such as romance which was out of place. So it makes me feel bored. I would prefer if they were friends who help each other rather than lovers.

Ps. I think Zhao Lusi is more suited to a comedy or naughty character like in LLTG because here her neck always looks tense. And for Yang Yang some reason I see him here like seeing Xiao Nai.

THIS IS PERRRRRFECT

Who Rules The World
The interesting story line with alter ego and hidden identity of both leads intrigued me to watch and obviously the casting of Zhao Lusi and Yang Yang.. These two as always acted up the expectations and i couldn't have asked for more.. literally when i first saw the trailer months ago, i got chills and goosebumps all over me and when it finally aired i couldn't keep calm.. Everything is so good, the ost bam Liu Yuning's and upcoming osts from Wang Sulong and many more, the ending music is cool too and NOT TO FORGET ! The outfit, the weapon choice, The makeup, The hair, The set, Everything is really well set and i can't wait to watch more episodes of it. Its really worth the wait ✨

People be complaining about overdubbing but watching all these mainland dramas, its what we should accept as not everyone knows every dialect and This drama has acceptable dubbing .. Its not over the top, Yang Yang's voice is of Wang yibo's voice artist from The Untamed .. Zhao Lusi's voice is the same from her in The Long Ballad (their voices match pretty well) and talking about the role and acting.. its spot on

The flirting isn't cringy and there isn't the typical romantic scenes like mouth to mouth medicine feeding, accidental kiss and all that .. This one has light cute moments and the humor, sarcasm of these characters cracked me up.. its really fun watching it and i am LOVINGGGGGGG IT

Almost but not quite...

The series started off with a bang and jumps right into action, which may cause some confusion as to who is who and what's going on with the different factions. It does come together more with each episode and it kept me engage until around episode 10 (less the FL/ML flirtatious scenes). I've been debating on whether to sit through more episodes for the positives, but the negative are starting to outweigh.

Positives
- An interesting underlying plot and somewhat unique relationship with the three main princes. There is quite a complex relationship between the three which is intriguing.
- The overall actors are great and the action scenes are done well.
- The gradual unfolding of various character histories would be a reason why I'd want to continue watching.
- The ML has been the most interesting character so far with his multiple roles (though his skills and charm are starting to falter slightly).
- The politics (so far) are actually not as boring and long-winded as with other palace dramas, though I can see its potential in becoming repetitive with 40 episodes.

Negatives
- The FL is supposed to be on par with the ML per the synopsis. But other than having high martial arts skills, she's been quite useless. I've been waiting episode after episode for her to step up to the plate to no avail. She's yet another one of those FLs who constantly states she doesn't want anyone's help, but then requires help from the ML over and over again. You'll get scenes such as her twisting an ankle and the ML is then carrying her on his back. But we are supposed to accept that she is jianghu tough and independent.
- The romance between the FL and ML feels overwhelmingly forced. And the corny of their scenes together has been so bad that I've been skipping through most of it to get to the other parts of the plot. One scene in particular that was so off, I would have fired whoever wrote it in. In the middle of a conversation between the FL and ML, two birds just suddenly falls from out of nowhere giving her the opportunity to just randomly ask him to take care of the white bird while she takes the black bird for obvious symbolic reasons. What??

Worth watching 110%

When I heard about this drama last year, I was very excited. I was looking forward to the 2 main leads' collaboration because both leads had previously done great work. I am primarily a fan of Zhao Lu Si (English name: Rosy). I have seen all her work, and I found her acting very innovative and effortless. She tends to understand her characters very well, and a joy to watch her performance. Whereas Yang Yang, the first-ever cdrama I watched, was Yang Yang, I found him very handsome and hardworking, and I wanted to see more of his work. Both leads from the first episode showed us great chemistry and outstanding acting skills.
The characters they are playing make you want to keep watching repeatedly. I have rewatched the episodes again, and I love every minute of it. They are believable in the way they pursue their goals, by Witt and intelligent and fantastic combination of fighting skills, not to forget the romance between the leads and the drama showcase their complex emotions for each other, the world around them, and their values.
The storyline is definitely one of the best I have seen in recent years. The other cast members are very talented and have terrific interactions between them. The first few episodes showcased their fighting skills; they were breathtaking and moving. Later episodes show us a subtle romanticism of how the 2 leads started to see each other differently and the feeling of affection and protection and wanting to see each other; by the way, they would look for excuses to stay near each other for a longer time. The cast has done a great job, and the whole team should be very proud of their work. Definitely keeps us guessing and yearning for each episode.
Looking forward to watching how the leads characters develop and their romance. 10/10

Excellent

I have to say that I really enjoy the intro footage in a lot of the C-dramas. The artists who create them for the dramas deserve a lot of credit. Tgey are impressive.

There are some oddities you might notice in the battle scenes. 1. Battles in the foreground at one speed and then background battles are at hyper-human speed. 2. When the armies are shown in arial view the horses being ridden through the formations are tiny compared to the soldiers themselves.

The wire stunts were done exceptionally well. There were no odd angles in the actors bodies, and the flight scenes were believable with the wind and clothing going in the same direction. I saw no rubber swords flopping around during battle either.

Zhao LuSi and Yang Yang were magical in their chemistry and interaction as their characters. Their growth individuall and together was well written and believable. And, their commitment to each other was portrayed very well.

I do not remember much about the OST, because I was so focused on what was taking place that music wasn’t really important to me.

As a wuxia fan, this drama hits the spot for action, the battle between good and evil, with a side of compassion and the desire for everyone to live peaceably together - with a side of love and self-sacrifice.

Overall, I found this to be a very good production and worthy of rewatching.

Great watch

I enjoyed my time watching this. It has good story, great characters, and I enjoyed the funny moments. I like seeing a female character who was an equal to her male counterpart, however, for a drama where the female character was supposed to be an equal, it does feel like the drama focused more on the male lead a lot more. I've seen a lot of comments about the female character having to be saved many times, but this wasn't a problem for me, as she did a lot of saving and protecting herself too. The villains were... to be honest, boring, there's not much to say about them unfortunately.

I feel it dragged on in the middle, and I wished that they tighten things up in the middle and expand towards the end because that ending... it's just rushed.

Overall, I had a great time watching this drama and it has a lot of entertaining moments, so I'd still happily recommend this to people.
