Wu Lin Wai Shi (2025)

OH MY GOODNESS!

I set the lowest expectation ever, but I didn't expect it to be so good.
I am a fan of the original drama from 2000s, starred Huang Haibing and Rebecca Wang Yan.

I can see how much of a fan the directer/writer is as well! It really shows in the work. The way male lead is still gentle towards Bai Fei Fei and walking on foot while she rides on his horse, all the little things they kept original are so sweet. The way male lead hold the female lead while fighting, it was done almost as good as when Huang Haibing did it in the past, it didn't disappoint. Lots of productions these days can't handle scenes like that, they make it cheesy and cheap. Just a little scene like that they can't even handle, don't even mention the word Wuxia, they can't handle Wuxia genre at all! But this drama is reviving the great name of Wuxia, the fighting choreography is nicely done and not lazy. On top of that, cinematography is great. I am familiar with the actor but the actress is very new to me, to my surprise she is such a pleasant pick, I'm so glad they starred the right people. I am one of the harshest critiques ever, I am only a few episodes in and VERY SATISFIED with this, speaking as a huge fan of the 2000s adaptation.
