So far so good.
This series is a breath of fresh air after a string of heavy, melancholy dramas. It weaves together suspense, humour, poignant moments, a yearning for justice.
Aside of XuQian who will fight for injustice fearless, I also like the supporting casts, especially gong gang, Wei, and Xu's family. Although princess LiAn's character may not appeal to everyone, she definitely has her own imperfections, I am fine with it as it is about time for a difference from the typical clever, scheming protagonists(mainly to protect themselves) . I, for some reason, find someone simple minded like princess Lian could have been a better partner for him, just like like his family, can bring warmth and happiness to him, Someone he actually likes, someone who likes him as well.
Overall, even though it has few fillers (e.g. misunderstanding on princese identity, which was like taking 2 episodes?) which can be used for more important story line, I still enjoy it a lot, especially I do need a break and some lighthearted amusement after a series of deep melodramas. It can be comedic at times, but not the over the top siliness, it evokes both tears and laughter. I find this show so captivating that I am refraining from watching other series concorrurrently until final episode, to dedicate my full attention to its story line and emotional journey that this series can offer. My youngest has also become engaged, a rarity among the other series I had followed before.
My personal favorite scenes would be:
1. XuQian vs the Avatar - it is brilliant
2. XuQian vs Zhou Li
3. XuQian vs Chu and the gong gang who tries to plead for him
4. Emotional moments of him trying to seek justice for bloody mascare and Zheng.
5. Funny moments and interactions especially from the Xu family members
