Absolutely enjoying it so far. Was super pleased with The Ingenious One, and now this. iQiyi is on a winning wuxia streak I guess and I couldn't be happier.
Is there a way to watch all the released episodes without the app? I'd be happy to pay. I joined paid membership on Youku English channel but it doesn't seem to give me access to eps 3+.
Would love a similar list but for underrated actresses. Quite often we see a supporting actress that steals a scene or two but never got the chance to really shine yet.
Is it just me or anyone else also thinks fighting scenes, pacing, and music are pretty bad? Fighting scenes do not have intensity and slo-mo is overused. Pacing is weird, the pauses between actions or between sentences are often too long. Things end up feeling awkward. Music is simply uninspiring and does not amplify what's on screen. This is not a 8+ scoring wuxia for me.
So I randomly watched the 1st ep and fast forward a couple of days, I finished the whole thing. Such an intriguing drama. Li Jia was getting on my nerves in later eps but it makes sense at the end that what we're seeing was the light/weak Li Jia. Would love to see more of the dark/strong Li Jia. Really hope S2 gets made at some point.
