This drama deserves at least an 8.5 rating—it is truly one of the best dramas of the year. It’s rare to find a wuxia drama that genuinely focuses on the martial arts world without relying too heavily on fantasy-like effects. In recent years, most martial arts dramas have leaned more toward the Xianxia and Xuanhuan genres, where CGI dominates almost the entire storyline.
I really hope the rating for this drama continues to rise, and I also wish that future Chinese dramas will follow this path—similar to The Journey of Legend, Mysterious Lotus Casebook, Joy of Life (Seasons 1 & 2), Heavenly Sword Dragon Slaying Sabre (2019), Love Better than Immortality, Handsome Siblings, Listening Snow Tower, Legend of Fei, Word of Honor, The Long Ballad, Sword Snow Stride, Who Rules the World, Heroes (2020), and My Journey to You.
