This drama isn’t perfect, but it was perfect for me. A big reason is that Luo Yunxi plays the lead role. His performances are always strong, elegant, and beautiful to watch. I love how he transforms in costume dramas—I think his transitions are seamless, even in lower-rated series. His background as a ballet dancer gives him an air of sophistication, and his footwork is impeccable—he could be blindfolded and still not make a mistake. His role is a major reason I enjoyed this drama.

I’m not sure how others would feel if they don’t appreciate Luo Yunxi’s skill set. The narrative itself is engaging, but there were several moments where the misunderstandings were overplayed, making me dislike the female lead, and the story stalled as a result. The conflicts that kept the leads apart dragged on too long, and I found myself wishing those parts had been edited down to give the narrative a tighter pace. While I would recommend watching it, I think its audience might be limited to people who can easily forgive tropes. The storyline is heavily focused on the pugilist world and martial arts sects, so it might also be best suited for viewers who enjoy martial arts and wuxia-themed dramas
