I’ve actually been thinking that this will be the first drama since VOS that I will be writing a review on.…
Totally agree with you about this being a true blue wuxia, flowing well and unravelling in layers naturally. It’s very exciting and it tests the trio but I know they will absolutely find harmony and unity in the end. They are unique individually but offer different strengths collectively when they work together and there is also the funny banter between them too. It’s just so entertaining and visually beautiful.Ugh SM is awful and there is only one person in the trio who deserves that justice. What a burden to carry in their heart.
This show is giving me everything I want in a wuxia. Swashbuckling, quirky found family friendship seeking justice, challenging morality, fighting proper bad guys, that wind instrument background and title credit OST. Clean, sharp and intentionally focussed marital arts fight scenes. I love every episode and am sad when it’s over. Whatever this show is doing, I want more of it. Ratings are subjective but I’m also sad - this show has real respect for the old Wuxia charm and atmosphere and unravelling storytelling that makes it addictive. I wish it’s loved and shared more cause it’s a pretty solid and refreshing Wuxia show for me.
Ep 12 is fantastic!So much happens from the brother’s murder which made me cry unexpectedly that was so sad. To the arguments and tension in the group of the enormity of the task at hand and morality questions around justice then the epic fight in the rain scene. 10/10.This show is just getting better and better in my opinion.
I hope this drama finally makes good use of how smoldering and attractive Wang Hong Yi is. 🤣 It looks like…
I really want this role to give his piercing stare some justice. Like it seems he can see straight into your soul kinda level intense. The last couple of shows I’ve seen from him don’t do justice to the way he can look at someone.
Wow what a strong start! This has some serious old school wuxia charm with some modern flavour as well. I was hooked from scene 1 and this probably the first time in a Wuxia where I feel more slowly introduced to clans and sects and I am following along very well. The two leads are developing a nice bond already and I’m enjoying watching them but credit is due to the fight choreo. My gosh it’s stylish, fluid, introduces martial arts styles well and at a decent length for each situation to not be over too quickly and anti climatic but also not too long that you’re yawning.
7.1? Is this really that bad, or just the usual MDL rating nonsense?
No not at all. In fact it’s quite watchable. I wouldn’t say it was a top tier show but for a smaller budget mini drama it’s oddly bingable. I was caught up in just one day!
I went into this show with low expectations and am pleasantly surprised.
Oh man also any time Zhou Yiran gets to show off his fighting skills I’m super happy ⚔️🩸
I am ready to meet my new favourite general 🥰 🗡️ 🔥

I loved how every mention about him from LL he taps the steward and says get me more of that! Bless his heart.
But he seems like a really useful and smart ally to the crew in the Capital. Seems like they need it 😬

Already the snippets of ITM are promising.
🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭
