this was a really well written traditional wuxia. No romance, no cliches traps, no nonsense. Just pure cinema masterpiece. Yang Yang truly is to me the only wuxia king. I do not understand why the rating has dropped even lower to now a 7.6 Romance was never promised nor hinted at even the slightest. If the rating is dropping because of that I am sorry you felt this masterpiece was lacking. I am glad it kept romance out of it. Yang Yang performs so much better when he’s not being a damsel in stress savior. His acting reminded me so much of TIA. I can’t wait to see TIA2. Until then. I hope everyone enjoyed this drama.
Everyone... is this drama worth watching?The rating kinda worries me but the number of raters is less than 500…
just watch for yourself. the rating is only low because when the drama first aired like all yang Zi dramas. it got 1.0 bombed on Mdl, IMBD, and Douban. You mentioned 10 star reviews by Yang Zi fans and though I agree those shouldn’t be up. There are also antics who hate Yang Zi and have rated this drama of all 42 episodes 1.0 The full drama in their list is 1.0 that’s over the type crazy works. So you have hard core fans trying to raise the score. The drama started 7.4 and made it to 8.0 and dropped. it just made it to 7.8 Again I can’t tell you if this drama is to your liking. It’s not as intense like Flourished Peony / In the name of blossom. Romance here is also not the main focus. The Ml shows up in ep.6 I believe. This is more family business, female centric then anything else. It’s a good drama. I actually love it more than Flourished Peony. Mainly because Mudan was overbearing, self righteous speeches etc. Here Li Zhen imo isn’t like that. The family branch thing is also intriguing. You will have some say differently again that’s their right and opinion. That’s why it’s best for you to decide. If you like it or you can’t vibe with it. It’s okay. Just please don’t give it a 1.0. It’s a shame the douban is looking 6.1 Becuase of haters. They also did the same for Born to be alive. however that drama has a newly raised douban score of 8.4 and 8 nom magonlia awards. Yang Zi having her 4th nom. If you haven’t seen it it’s base on a true story. I hope this helps you decide if you wanna watch it or not.
I watch many different kinds of dramas and I certainly don’t just watch idol dramas with pretty faces, but I…
it is if you think your thoughts are correct. I’m happy if you think your thoughts are correct. if you think I’m being bitter than that’s not a mature statement to imply.
Everyone is complaining, whereas I still enjoy the drama and look forward to the new episodes. I do like the friendship…
I get it many are not used to slow pacing dramas. Someone earlier replied to my comment and said they are used to it but the plot isn’t moving along just repeating itself. the plot is moving along but because the aunt hasn’t got her due justice you feel as if each scheme she does, each set back Li Zhen faces is repetitive and not moving along. This drama has 42 episodes we’re only in ep.26 the drama has to make its way through the journey in order to get to where Li Zhen will end up. The drama once chanced its title name as The Legend of Li Zhen but returned it back to Jiaye aka The Heir. The actual name Jiaye means “family business.” Not sure how they all thought this drama wouldn’t focus on that. I’m also enjoying it and can’t wait to binge watch it.
This is why one can not trust MDL ratings. This is a very solid show. At least 8.5, up to at least 9.0 rating.
your welcome S+ is like top tier drama ratings high quality, high volume and performance. The heir has been solidified as that. Yang Zi drama is doing well spite its being up against The Lead, and other dramas. It’s holding its on. Even when ratings stalled for a few days it climbed back. Now it’s climbing each day with each episode. The douban was initially predicted at 6.1 because of 1.0 star bombing but now it’s predicted 7.5 and 8.0 it could still debut at 6.1. She’s had dramas with low douban scores but high ratings BCE was one of them. That drama BCE is still one of Tencent cash cow besides LYF.

I agree. When it first aired only four epsiodes as per such with any Yang Zi drama. Her antics and haters bombed it with 1.0 star ratings on MDL, IMDB, and Douban. Once again it made such a fuss it trended on Weibo hot search. Even none Yang Zi fans were calling the antics out. This drama debuted on here with a 7.4 then it raised a point each day until it finally made it to 8.0 and they dropped to 7.3 and back. It just made it to 7.8 again. You have people rating each episode 1.0 and the full drama of 42 episodes 1.0 I keep seeing new comers ask the same question over and over. it’s not hard to grasp what is happening. Than you have those who find the drama repetitive in storyline. It’s not repetitive you’re not use to dramas that likes to showcase an actual story telling. You want the villains to get their swift justice and move the plot along. But with 42 episodes what will that serve? The drama has been trending none stop. The cast has been trending non stop. The drama is verified and certified S+ ranked and added to IQYI hall of fame. IQYI doesn’t just add any drama to that list. Yang Zi never has a bad drama. They did the same with Born to be alive and the drama has a douban 8.4 as it just increased to 8.4 and also has 8 nominations for the prestigious award magonlia award. Yang Zi even has her fourth nomination for best lead actress for magonlia awards. If she wins finally her haters will pull a Cheng Yi and couch up blood. 🩸 Because out of all of her 90s peers she’s the only one who’s been nom back to back. Neitzens in China said they will be devastated and shock if she doesn’t win. Yang Zi thinks it’s an honor just to be nominated. I want her to win for herself and her craft. To show haters can’t stop her success. The drama is doing really well. Yet people saying it’s not or it isn’t their cup of tea. It’s fine to have an actual opinion but a bias one because you hate a certain actress is not invalid. I even watch other actors I don’t like works to maybe see if my opinion changes. Sometimes they do other times they don’t. But never will I rate a drama 1.0 unless the writing was truly horribly. Even then I will give it a 5 to a 6.
