I watched it from beginning to end with great curiosity. I liked the acting, the direction. I didn't like anything else. In other words, if it weren't for the excellent cast, this series wouldn't have been watched. If you cast unknown actors and didn't have Cheng Yi, you'd just throw it away.
It's become an inconsistent, illogical, mediocre series. Simply put, the villain, Quan Jing Ting, doesn't die no matter what you do. Not only does he not die, he also wreaks havoc on everyone in sight. There's no need for another enemy. He's self-sufficient. He dies and resurrects. They destroy everything. His hands, arms, legs, bones, lungs, and spine are destroyed, but he gets back up and continues his evil deeds as if nothing happened.
Fu Gui, on the other hand, has one of his bones taken. He can't use a sword. Suddenly, he's gone. He's relegated to a secondary role. There's such absurdity. How can a leader train his own child to kill and force him to do it? It's illogical. He even makes a mistake, and the other leaders tell him to fire him, take away his abilities, and his father does the same. It's illogical. And this man protects them from demons. He kills for them. If you render this man incompetent, who will protect you? There's no answer to that. It's illogical. They're driving him away. Even if it's logical, I don't understand. I mean, the characters of Quan Jing Ting and Hong Ye are worthless. I don't understand what the screenwriter was thinking to impose these meanings on these characters. It's a shame for these actors, it's a shame for these images, and they've wasted the actors with the characters they've placed on these two actors.
For example, Ru Mu dies, and a girl, Wei Yun, suddenly has a mausoleum built in the middle of the desert. And it's beautifully designed, as if crafted by a master. It's completely unconvincing. You'll say, "This series is fantastic. This man burns a hundred people to death with his bare hands. He moves mountains. He raises water. He wields a hundred swords in the air. So, you're stuck with dementia?" I found it pointless. There were so many negatives. They didn't think or plan anything. It was a complete waste.
The chemistry between the leads was also lackluster. So, there was no real love, no connection, no trace of affection. It was very superficial. I didn't get any emotional content. They didn't contribute anything.
If the actors weren't good, even these scenes wouldn't have been watchable. Absolutely. Guo Jun Chen, He Ru Xian, Chang Hua Sen, Zhang Kai Ying, and Wang Hong Yi in the supporting roles were excellent. The relationships between these two, even if comical, seemed to contribute something. They became watchable because of the actors. I really liked Cheng Yi, Guo Jun Chen, and Chang Hua Sen. They were great together. There were some good scenes, too. I gave the series a 7.5 for their sake. I was going to lower it even further, but considering the cast, I decided it would be a shame.
Aside from that, some very valuable actors appeared in brief scenes. The series was like a celebrity parade, but the poor script took away their efforts. It was as if they'd said, "Our series is so bad, let's at least save it with good actors." I don't recommend it to anyone.
