Tried my BEST to remain interested in this show but unfortunately it's TRASH
Chanced upon this drama because of the leads being Chen Duling and Joseph Zeng, naturally with these talented actor and actress, I assumed the show was going to be good. It unfortunately turned out to be trash here's why:
1. Story
The story and motivation behind it is nearly non-existent. Characters seem to pop out of nowhere, get a short and quick introduction and they are suddenly part of the main cast and mission. The mission itself pops out of nowhere as well.
2. Character Interaction/Dialogue
The script is very "unserious", each of the characters in this show communicate between each other as if they were part of a sitcom setting, Less Show More Tell. There's way too much dialogue without the necessary action to accompany it making the entire show really extremely dry/boring.
To summarize, while this show has decent quality VFX, Cinematography and Action scenes AND not forgetting great actors like Chen Du Ling and Joseph Zeng, the dry/awkward/boring script and story ultimately makes this unwatchable.
If you're looking for an actual quality Wuxia show check these 2 series out: Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber (2019) AND Pursuit of Jade
