REFRESHING to see in cdrama land!
I didn't think I was into fantasy adventure but this is so refreshing to see in cdrama land. It has 7 interesting interlaced stories (I really enjoyed 1, 3, 6, 7) about 5 people plus a scholar coming together as a team to fight against an evil omen relic. Male lead Song Weilong steals the show with his charisma and close combat fight scenes. He does remind me of City Hunter back in the days but a more loyal updated version. Director has a good rep and is doing a good job with story telling and pacing, CG gets a passing grade for me. Got me excited and chasing to see what each story brings and almost every episode ends with cliffhanger leaving you wanting more.
My only issue and as a result deducted half point is the female lead's inadequate acting and poor believability (especially her fight scenes). However I don't want to punish the whole drama, writer or the rest of the cast because of one actress' inability.
