XFN need some training in fight choreography. Why he always crouch when he try to fight. Looks weird. Come on…
Because he never learned martial arts when he was young. Even his bestie Old Huang kept pestering him to learn. XFN isn't a master of fighting yet. He's been picking up tools along the way and as he was told - his expertise will depend on how much he can pick up the techniques given to him. You'll probably have to wait for Season 2 to see whether XFN will master any of the techniques and weapons given to him.
The rating for this series on douban is pretty low, 5/10 while here MDL 8/10 and Viki 9/10. Many complaint about…
I thought Teresa Li did a good job portraying the homeless Princess. She was able to convey her angst of having her kingdom destroyed, being grateful that the Xu's took her in and even though she was made a servant for XFN, she was never mistreated. She was also able to show how much she cared for XFN while trying to kill him (albeit half-heartedly). I really loved their relationship and also her relationship with Master Li.
I'm really close to the close of this drama - just the last ep left to watch. I must point out that although I've been loving this drama, I've noticed some things that stood out: A lot of the last eps were so draggy. The dialogue between the characters had so many pauses in it that it felt like it didn't flow right. I literally fell asleep during some of the eps and had to rewind to find out if I had missed anything. Another negative were the fight scenes. Most of the fight scenes - I don't think there were that many actual fighting between the good guys and the bad guys. It was mostly done with CGI especially when the masters fought. Basically they just waved their hands to generate their powers when fighting. I still liked it though - it went beyond the usual martial arts fighting and more like using super powers. Zhang Ruo Yun does another great job as the main lead (I loved him in Joy of Life). To me it seem like he lost weight towards the end of the drama as opposed to the beginning of the drama. I wished the dialogue for the characters were a lot more flowing than some of the stilted conversations that I felt in some of the eps. And I want to say that I would love to see Ning E Mei and Qing Niao as a couple! All in all I've been enjoying this drama
XFN understood ZK's struggles and empathized with him, but he said one sentence that summed up why ZK is doomed…
I totally agree with your description of ZK. I haven't seen the ending yet - I tried last night but it was getting late. Anyway I never really cared for ZK's character. I know he was greatly influenced by his master in thinking he should be King and he was brainwashed so much that he had blinders on towards that path. I thought when XFN spared his life that maybe he would go on to redeem himself but I guess from these spoilers that he didn't. There was a reason why XFN's sister didn't want any part of ZK.
So true. That character is off the tracks delusional about how great she is. Narcissistic to the nth degree. My…
And how many times is she going to trip and hurt her foot? She's so damn clumsy - how about learning to walk first before chasing after her "man"! Annoying!!
Just started watching this last night. So far I love the interactions between the main leads. But I'm already hating on the conniving step-mother & bitchy ass step sister! I really can't stand the fact that the Wanqing is the legit daughter but the step sister thinks she's all that and is better than the legit daughter. Why do they always have to write these characters this way?! I just want to smash Wanting's face in already! :) Clearly the second male lead wants nothing to do with Wanting except for the fact that he's expected to marry the bitch. And she is so smug thinking Guang Yao likes her and we clearly see he DOESN"T! Ugh...
Ok so finished watching it, the drama was good, action scenes were really good, BUT the story was a bit meh aside…
Maybe it's like a Mission Impossible thing: "As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions"! But yeah...I agree...his name should have been cleared and her dad made a hero posthumously since he put his life on the line. It doesn't make sense that his daughter should have been left with her dad's name being smeared like that! WTF?!!!
How can I watch this if it has a sad ending?!! Lee Do Hyun had a sad ending in Hotel Del Luna and Sweet Home (although I'm hoping he survived for Season 2) and now he's going to have another sad ending again?! How cruel is that? Argh!!!
I’m on episode 5 and FL’s behavior is becoming more and more immature and annoying (the opposite of what I’m…
I’m on ep 7 and the FL is so cringey! She’s starting to annoy me more with her constant pursuit of ML. Just because they had an early kiss, she thinks she’s in love and doesn’t give a crap how he feels.
I'm still in the 20's eps but my head is reeling from the never-ending crisis tossed to JJL. Every time there is an obstacle hurled at her, you can see how she conveys how she is thinking through the problem and how to solve it. But for goodness sakes...can't she have a bit of respite from these constant obstacles. It was the same watching The Sword and Brocade: there was problem after problem thrown at the heroine which required her to get out of it. Also, JJL has all these suitors who fall for her. I know who she eventually loves but I also like Ning Zhao & Chen Yu (although he's too young for her and I see him more like her little brother or cousin). LYQ is obsessed with her because he thinks she is the original Princess that he fell in love with (which she is) but his love is more like an obsessive love. I read from other comments when she will reveal her identity to Zhu Zan and I can't wait to see that ep. So far I like this drama and I can't wait until everything is revealed!
it's been a month since it ended. you should go watch it on kissasian or dramacool cause you need a premium account…
I have Viki so that's not the problem. It's waiting for the eps but I haven't gone back to this drama yet since I started others since then. I do watch dramas sometimes on Dramacool but then I have to deal with the ads.
