Blood River the first Wuxia drama that I truly enjoyed watching after The Blood of Youth. Everything in this drama is perfect from the cast choice, story, script, costume, visual, cinematography, CGI etc. Gong Jun and Chang Hua Sen gave an outstanding portrayal of their characters, and other cast also interpreted their roles seamlessly. All the fighting scenes are incredible delivered and Gong Jun performed 95% of his fighting scenes. The drama has no fillers, dragging plots, or lowbrow comedy, which is suitable for matured viewers or those who like concise and well written scripts. Although Blood River has connections with Dashing Youth and The Blood of Youth, viewers can watch the drama as a stand-alone one with a satisfactory ending.
