Didn’t expect to love this this much. Now I’m obsessed.
Honestly, I started The Journey of Legend with zero expectations. First couple of episodes felt slow, but suddenly I found myself totally hooked. There's something about the quiet build-up — you really start to feel for Qui Shui and his situation. He didn’t just “transmigrate” and move on. He struggles. It hurts. And that makes his journey so believable.Also… Cheng Yi is insane in this. He plays TWO roles — gentle but tormented Qui Shui and then boom, cold-blooded boss Li Chen Zhou. Same face, completely different energy. You will definitely feel the different as if they are not the same actor! Amazing!
Story-wise, it’s a mix of action, mystery, and emotional moments that hit way harder than I expected. There’s fighting, yes, but also a deeper message about standing up for what’s right when the world keeps testing you.
The drama isn’t loud or flashy, but it grows on you. It lingers. And the OST?? Gorgeous. I’ve been looping some tracks all day.
If you’re into slower-burn wuxia with emotional weight and great acting, don’t skip this one.
