as someone fairly new to wuxia and this genre i am slightly having problems understanding haha. Ive watched coroners…
I also think that the moon envoy and the sister is the same person, they have yet to reveal it.
And welcome to Wuxia! This his how their classic world-buildings typically go. You'll be introduced to 30 different characters within the first few episodes/chapters and it can even reach upto a hundred when the drama finishes so be prepared. They'll introduce you to many different sects, just like in Xianxia, and each sect can have specialized martial art skills or secret weapons. And if you're reallyyy new to Chinese media, you might get really confused as to who Zhan Zhao actually is and even more confused to some names that they mention in passing (as of now). Basically, this drama used the characters from the Chinese novel "The Three Heroes and Five Gallants" from the Qing Dynasty (1889), which was made very famous when it's adapted into a TV series called "Justice Pao/Bao" (1993). Zhan Zhao is a significant character in the novel/series. That's to say, this drama is called "Zhan Zhao's Adventure", not "The Three Heroes and Five Gallants", so it'd be based loosely from it.
Three episodes in and it’s quite rare that I’m giving a show 10/10 so far. Everything is perfect for now, notable mentions to the fight scenes and cinematography - it reminds me so much of Zhang Yimou’s works and I totally love that. My favorite fight scene is the one at the end of ep.1 - the choreography is really beautiful.
Ep.13-14 are FIRE. It’s getting more intense (and interesting) every episode: people are dropping (dying) left and right. Anyway, I love our badass power couple! Lu Qianqiao’s jealousy era is pretty short-lived, though. (Although I bet he’ll always bear this in mind and keep bringing it up). I wonder what Su Taiyi is planning on doing: I’m not sure whether I’ll like his plan or not…
The way ML is so ready to fight (/punish) Su Taiyi at the end of ep.12 is so scary. I want the FL to witness how ruthless he can be yet still falls in love with him.
