This series was so well executed and it had my full attention from the start to end. I rewatched certain scenes several times, just to make sure I missed no elements because it was literally like putting together puzzle pieces to figure out what is each character's next move and still you would be surprised because it's nowhere near what you guessed. At times i wondered how the writers didn't get confused and lost when writing this plot. There were twists and turns in every episode. And still in this chaos the series didn't lose my focus one bit. This is definitely not one of your light-hearted series you can watch to sit back and relax. But that was the fun in LOZH.

And man, you could trust no one in this series. everyone had their own goal they were trying to accomplish. everyone in the story had an amazing story line. At one point I convinced myself that the Marquis was actually a good guy. That is how complex the characters were. And I love how the ML is finally not the most physically or spiritually gifted and is instead relies on his intelligence and strategy. Also the FL rocks. In this story she is the one with the badass moves and sword skills which she uses to protect her man. We love a strong FL. ZH had around him truly supportive and loyal couple of friends even though everyone else in the story were treacherous.

And the master has my heart. Shifu is the best and I cried when he died at the gate for ZH's safety. Oh that was such a selfless act. This story had everything. Everything good. Would 100% recommend to anyone. This is actually in the top 3 of the c-dramas for me. I would also re-watch once my mind settles down :)
