Excellent
I have to say that I really enjoy the intro footage in a lot of the C-dramas. The artists who create them for the dramas deserve a lot of credit. Tgey are impressive.
There are some oddities you might notice in the battle scenes. 1. Battles in the foreground at one speed and then background battles are at hyper-human speed. 2. When the armies are shown in arial view the horses being ridden through the formations are tiny compared to the soldiers themselves.
The wire stunts were done exceptionally well. There were no odd angles in the actors bodies, and the flight scenes were believable with the wind and clothing going in the same direction. I saw no rubber swords flopping around during battle either.
Zhao LuSi and Yang Yang were magical in their chemistry and interaction as their characters. Their growth individuall and together was well written and believable. And, their commitment to each other was portrayed very well.
I do not remember much about the OST, because I was so focused on what was taking place that music wasn’t really important to me.
As a wuxia fan, this drama hits the spot for action, the battle between good and evil, with a side of compassion and the desire for everyone to live peaceably together - with a side of love and self-sacrifice.
Overall, I found this to be a very good production and worthy of rewatching.
