A truly authentic and well-made wuxia drama
I gave it a 10/10 rewatch value because I had to watch it a second time to fully appreciate the sophisticated connections between the different characters and the details I missed on my first watch of Blood River. I also have to rave about the fight scenes! The large scale action sequences, featuring actors literally flying through the air and running along walls, are swift and incredibly smooth. Gong Jun’s portrayal of Su Muyu is stunning, and his Umbrella Eighteen Sword Array is just too cool. The fight scenes are so slick that I kept rewinding and rewatching them to catch every detail.
