Let me say this upfront. I really liked the series. I enjoyed watching it. However, there are flaws, errors, contradictions, and a departure from reality, especially in the script, in the flow of the story. Normally, it deserves a 9. But I lowered my score because of these inconsistencies in the story.
First of all, it started well. The series captivated me. It drew me in. But when we get to episode 18, especially the character Sui Qin is shot with two arrows, receives three or five knife wounds (not counting the other blows), and falls off a cliff. Normally, it's impossible for her to survive. Let's say she does survive. Bandits find her, bandage her wounds, and treat her. As soon as she wakes up, she doesn't feel any pain, she acts nimbly, and in two minutes she beats up a woman who is the bandit leader and everyone else. No pain. Then, this woman takes the bandit's men and raids the town, killing everyone in sight. It has nothing to do with reality. It's thoughtlessly written, someone who should have died is doing Kung Fu as if nothing happened. It's unbelievable how she looks, as if she hasn't been shot, hasn't had any broken bones, but has instead been injected with strength. There's a lack of care. There's a lot of exaggeration.
In episode 19, the woman who narrowly escaped death wakes up. As soon as she wakes up, she carries a blind woman on her back. She falls down a mountain. Her husband saves her. So, the series should have been called "The Immortals." There are many contradictions. For example, the nanny who raises the children of the treacherous Prince is kind-hearted, loving, brings the little children together and watches them with admiration. She is even killed while rescuing a child from the hands of the traitors. By whom? By the child she raised. Now, shouldn't the children raised by such a nanny be well-intentioned, loving, and helpful? No, quite the opposite, they have become cruel-hearted. The character analysis is wrong. It starts wrong and continues wrong. The screenwriter hasn't cared about the characters at all.
In episode 22, our frail, 40 kg female protagonist, who only knows kung fu, lifts 150 kg and climbs to the top. It's not believable. At least they could have made the female protagonist a big, burly guy to make up these things. They're making a mockery of the audience's intelligence.
In episode 23, the dam bursts. Everything is flooded. People in the flooded area die. Sui Manor is also flooded. The manor is submerged. Everyone dies. Sui's master finds and rescues the woman he loves from those raging waters. The Sui master's soldiers die in these dam waters. He watches them from a height. In the next scene, he rescues the woman he loves from the waters in the manor. How can he be in two places at once? It's unbelievable. In another scene, this master catches and kills the fleeing nanny. So, without any sequence or timing, this person is in different places at the same time. I found it wrong. I couldn't understand what the screenwriter wanted to do. Similarly, this little Sui Prince is cruel and ruthless. He kills everyone he encounters. But he also does good deeds. But he also kills those who do him good. He's a psychopath. Cruel. A maniac who enjoys killing. Can you expect good behavior from him? No. It's a mistake. There's a contradiction. This little Sui prince, despite being stabbed several times, falling off a cliff, and being shot with arrows, just won't die. After these events, repeated not once but several times, he finally dies. It's as if he was going to die the first time he was shot, but they were pleased with the actor and extended his scenes. That's why they killed and resurrected him several times. Something like that.
We could add more to this. I was going to lower my rating even more, but I liked the series. I liked the cinematography, the direction, the costumes. There were only flaws in the script. That's why I gave it an 8.
As for the actors, there was a very good group of actors. The main roles were very, very good and harmonious. Zhang Ling He looks good wherever you put him. He looks very charismatic and very handsome in the costumes. Tian Xi Wei was very beautiful. I liked her. Snow Kong was quite good. Deng Kai was very good. He also looked charismatic in costume. Li Qing was cute. Yu Zhong Li was beautiful. Ren Hao was good, but he had a kind of "what am I doing here?" kind of demeanor. Yan Yi Kuan was very good. He was charismatic. Guan Yun Peng was very good. I liked him. Lin Mu Ran, our hero who just won't die. Evil suits him. I hope these roles don't stick with him. I liked him. There were many young actors. They were all very handsome. I liked them all. I liked the veteran actors. It was a good drama. Despite these criticisms, I recommend it to those who haven't watched it.
