Simon Gong’s not only handsome but also a skilled and versatile actor, equally strong in modern and historical roles. His expressive eye acting is especially impressive.

The cases in the drama feel real and reflect current issues. The scriptwriter clearly did thorough research, and I even learned a few things while watching.

Blood River: Absolutely Worth Recommending

Each episode closes with a gripping cliffhanger, and the brisk pacing keeps you glued to the screen. The fight scenes are epic, though the CGI can feel a bit excessive at times. Su Muyu’s inner conflict between duty and conscience gives the story genuine emotional depth, while Gong Jun’s original voice performance is a pleasant surprise.

I don’t give it a 10-star rating because the sprawling cast can be a bit hard to follow at first and the special effects occasionally feel overdone. However, the overall production is top-notch and cinematic.
