Thank you for such a wonderful article Cryssy Anne and Xiang83. This film looks amazing.
Given how hard everyone has worked for this, a lot of wuxia fans are excited! I'm looking forward to the action stars I grew up with duking it out, and seeing how they win or draw. Wu Jing fighting Jet Li is definitely something I am anticipating. And Zhang Jin! Plus Tony Leung Ka Fai!
Cinemas in USA will also air this film on 17 February.
The gals also worked very hard. From the weibo buzz, Chen Li Jun's appearances will be noteworthy (I'm intentionally keeping quiet about the other two ladies plus one awesome guest female star): https://kisskh.at/767811-blades-of-the-guardians#comment-25003288
I'm not familiar with Win Win or Jun, but I respect everyone who has a main role, supporting role or guest role in this film. Yuen Woo Ping is very old-school when helming a movie. Sore muscles and bruises are the minimum medals in finishing a film of his XD
When Yuen Woo Ping is in the driver's seat and he also controls all the gear sticks, only the truly-dedicated will survive and excel in his films. He's very old-school. I automatically respect anybody who has a main role, supporting role or special role in this movie.
Chen Li Jun really has my admiration. From the weibo buzz, you can see snippets of how hard she trained and a bit of her action sequences:
Thanks!! Yuen Woo-Ping was the martial arts director for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?! Some of the best martial…
Those of us who are seasoned C-Ent watchers also familiar with wuxia artists will always focus on the details that matter. CGI and stunt training cannot fool us as to whether an artist knows martial arts or not. I admire artists who are physically able and willing to go through intensive stunt training despite no martial arts background, to make their work in a drama or movie as convincing as possible.
Trolls who know nothing will talk trash and focus on gossip and if you see that kind of rubbish, I advise ignoring their noise pollution :)
I will be waiting for this too...thanks for letting me know....
You're welcome :) Yuen Woo Ping's career spans more than six decades, whereby he has directed at least fifty films. This might be his final film as a director, so it takes on special significance, especially when we only have two dragons left after both Bruces passed away (Lee and Leung).
Thanks for the summary🤩😍. Excited about this, grew up watching Yuen WooPing’s WuXia show. This definitely…
"The Shadow's Edge" grossed at least RMB 1.2 billion in the domestic market (more than RMB 77 million on Opening Day, and RMB 1.031 billion within the first three weeks of release). I don't see how this will fare any worse and should not be an issue. Multi-generational is very appealing, this is an A-list cast in Sui Dynasty settings, plus the director will be in his element.
When Nashi had to be replaced due to a huge education scandal of her own doing, costs were further added to the movie budget of approximately RMB 550 million. That made the news internationally.
But that's over now, so we can focus on the movie!
The most-wanted fugitive Zhi Shilang is to be escorted by Daoma (second-most-wanted fugitive) to Chang'an. To do so, Daoma must join forces with allies A-Yuya and A-Ni and his adopted son Xiaoqi, as he aims to fulfil his mission and outrun various pursuers. Across the desert, various factions come into conflict, whereby the success or failure of this mission could shatter the foundations of an empire.
Shot in the Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region, I'd say everybody who has a role in this movie was properly sun-baked multiple times over XD Sun, sand, no sea. True wuxia immersion means practical filming for all major action scenes, complete with bruises and more after months of rigorous training for close combat, horseback chases and skirmishes.
I believe this movie will screen nationwide on 17 February (first day of CNY).
My preferences for his next gig1. Plays an arrogant pop idol but a vigilante at night saving a Gotham like city…
Ignore some of the comments on that page, and focus on Kang Da Wit. Jung Kyung-ho turned in an amazing performance as a judge who became an attorney at a specific firm. The ML has to have personality, by turns serious, charming, menacing, poker-faced etc. Even when he appears to possibly be defeated, he has charisma on-screen (and he steals the scenes). Jung Kyung-ho and Tamaki Hiroshi are very talented actors in their respective countries, and I'd say Luo Yunxi could definitely do this role in a modern drama and impress the wider audience :D
Several films have been officially announced for the upcoming Lunar New Year period, and "Blades of The Guardians" is one of these films attracting a lot of attention. A trailer and more information has been released over the past few days, whereby Wu Jing can be seen in several promotional videos emphasising a collaborative martial arts feast created by five generations.
Yuen Woo-ping is a world-renowned senior action and stunt director, who has choreographed countless classic wonderful kungfu scenes. The reason why the film is considered to be a collaboration across five generation of film makers is also due to Yuen Woo-ping's involvement.
Many action stars familiar to the audience have collaborated with him. This heavyweight filmmaker has directed yet another action blockbuster at the age of 80, naturally resulting in eager anticipation from generations of movie fans.
When Wu Jing starred in the 1998 TV series "Tai Chi Master" as his debut, one of the directors was Yuen Woo-ping. In comparison, Grandpa Yuen has collaborated more often with Jet Li, such as personally directing the 1993 classic kungfu movie "The Tai Chi Master" which has aired countless times on television. "Master Z: Yip Man Legacy" starring Zhang Jin was also directed by him. Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen will not be further mentioned here, since they did not participate in this film.
News about the recent death of Hong Kong action star Bruce Leung Siu-lung (you may recognise him from Stephen Chow's movie "Kungfu Hustle" as The Beast) has made people realise collaborations between action stars and filmmakers of all generations is very rare. Leung Siu-lung is a few years younger than action star and martial artist Ti Lung (one of Hong Kong's "Four Dragons of Cinema" alongside Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Leung Siu-lung and Ti Lung), and Ti Lung is almost the same age as Yuen Woo-ping.
The number of action filmmakers from this generation who can continue to make films has gradually decreased. Several generations of stars rubbing more than shoulders in a big-budget wuxia (martial arts) movie should be a masterpiece of this era.
Compared with martial arts veteran Yuen Woo-ping, the one in this film with higher achievements and global popularity naturally goes to film and television superstar Jet Li, who is more than 60-years-old. His appearance in this movie breaks through various rumours. Previously for the sake of pursuing traffic views, some self-proclaimed entities and individuals have claimed he is seriously ill and sickness-ridden. Later, others have claimed he has regained his vitality and strength, etc
Judging from recently-released BTS videos, Wu Jing who is in his 50s admits his senior Jet Li is still very fast but experiences some guilt over his own strength and condition. As producer and starring actor of this movie, Wu Jing has gathered everyone here to finish a rare agreement of the century. He is naturally the backbone of this collaboration. Major twists and turns were encountered during the process of filming, such as controversy over replacement of important roles. It was not easy to have this movie released in time for the Lunar New Year Period of 2026.
Other than Jet Li and Wu Jing as action stars in this movie, Zhang Jin is the same age as Wu Jing. He has martial arts skills and has participated in various martial arts competitions. After retiring from those, he has worked as a stand-in and martial arts instructor for the Hong Kong action film creation team comprising Yuen Siu-tien's children (you might recognise Yuen Woo-ping's kungfu-moves-pioneer father as Beggar So from the infamous 1978 movies "Drunken Master" and "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow"). Zhang Jin's performance in 2013 movie "The Grandmaster" and 2015 movie "Ip Man 3" is easily notable, and his involvement with this movie will further enhance the action and drama.
[ Do note there is a second half to this article mentioning other actors and actresses in the movie, and I have only summarised the first half].
Scrolling the comments I see that's another problem for the rating of this drama... but somehow, when the series…
The unfinished novel is somewhat enjoyable in itself (but with some caveats of triggers certain readers may not like), although Teng Ping clearly didn't know where she was going or what she wanted to achieve with it before she stopped writing and abandoned it for more than 10 years, only to resume when said novel was adapted to become this drama.
RBF is one of the contributors listed in the Group Collective Efforts forum post and is responsible for that gem of a post explaining the image poster, plus they have carried out what I consider to be the best English translation for the novel. 40+ chapters of their professional efforts can be found here: https://qianjiemei.wordpress.com/2023/12/14/qian-jie-mei/
I definitely feel bad for him. All he wanted was to be and feel loved. I wouldn’t ship him with the FL but he…
Pei Zhen felt and realised he failed as an older brother, and he's clear about being greatly ashamed for this towards Xiao Zhiyu. That final exchange was well-executed. He learns lessons about love that he will remember, as he goes forward to find his vision of himself and the future.
I think it's healthy to point out how an actor or actress is doing for a drama, performance-wise. I also believe it is healthy for people to disagree civilly and sincerely. What isn't healthy are indirect catty potshots on a daily basis attempting to intimidate and shame other viewers for appreciating a different actor or actress and their character(s), while also implying such viewers who are different only appreciate the character as a love interest.
If the importance of the role by an actor or actress is reduced primarily to being involved in a romance and not as an individual, that significance isn't flattering to the acting skills of said actor or actress. And if someone wants to measure the worth of the character played by an actor or actress solely and primarily by whether the character is worthy of being in a romance with a lead, that speaks volumes about the viewer rather than whoever they are trying to measure.
There's at least three viewers on this drama page constantly doing this, whereby they clearly idolise the actor for ML and dislike 2ML and keep painting anybody who speaks positively of the actor for 2ML as having 2ML Syndrome (one of them attempted to thought-police another viewer who was objectively evaluating traits of ML and 2ML, and got firmly told off by said viewer for doing so).
2ML Syndrome is wanting 2ML to wind up romantically with FL instead of ML, and some viewers don't care about that for 2ML. We just want to be able to talk objectively about other characters while also appreciating ML and FL. There are viewers who couldn't care less who FL winds up with, while interested in other aspects of the drama. I believe the biggest concern is having as many viewers interested as possible in this drama, so I'm happy for every actor and actress here who helped to draw in a bigger audience.
Kudos to Dai Xu for making a stereotypical 2ML role interesting and memorable on-screen for many Chinese viewers, while some viewers of MDL clearly have a different take. Differences make for interesting variety, variety is the spice of life, and don't be a petty bitter pepper if someone isn't gelling with your favourite hot sauce :)
Nope. I am happy that Pei Zhen will go out into the world and be his own man, and not repeat the mistakes of his…
His ending was fitting, exactly as you pointed out.
Is it unusual to want good endings for various characters that aren't criminal? What is a good ending? For me, I see a good ending first and foremost being about personal growth, followed by emotional health, mental health and physical health. Contributing to the greater good is also a definite plus.
If a character must foot an unfortunate sacrifice, then it should be justified.
Pei Zhen has taken steps to be accountable and correct what his father did wrong. He has demonstrated feeling greatly ashamed in previously being horribly wrong and petty about ML. He has been filial to his stepmother on behalf of ML (and it was a bit churlish and childish for ML to ask 2ML whether 2ML cared for the stepmother in the second-last episode, because who else has been looking after ML's mother as a son for years but 2ML? That said, the lunchbox manipulation by 2ML was definitely wrong of 2ML, but we've covered his previous pettiness and childishness in an earlier comment of yours).
Frankly, I was very shocked at how ML behaved toward his mother for Chinese New Year (despite the circumstances) because his behaviour would definitely be a permanent black mark in my book if it happened in RL (unless he rectifies it), and I am definitely not alone in this view for my generation.
I am very glad for Hu Xiu being in Xiao Zhiyu's life and being with him. He deserves happiness after being burdened for so long. And with her, he will grow healthily while being emotionally assured of devoted loyalty and kindness from a wonderful woman who totally gets him :)
I'm going to point out something that isn't obvious to non-mandarin speakers who also don't understand Confucian…
I have finished the drama. Given how episode 19 played out, the leads continued as I expect them to. I think the script dropped the ball on the FL in the final 8 episodes. Ending is satisfactory for me, given the rom-com angles they kept emphasising (and as an aside, a few of us noticed a few references homage to K-drama "The King: The Eternal Monarch" which was a nice touch).
It seemed throughout the drama that Pei Zhen's father continued doing shady things Pei Zhen did not know about. And it gave Pei Zhen conflicting difficulties on what he should do. The entire fault will rightfully fall upon the father for his crimes, and Pei Zhen will not pay for his father's wrongs. The fact that Pei Zhen has difficulties deciding shows how he is wrestling with tradition and modernity, and in the end it's a great sign that modernity wins out in this case for Pei Zhen because of what he chooses to do and be.
Maybe it's because I usually prefer non-romance C-dramas, and that's why I'm not hung up on the romance. Hu Xiu is well-written overall, and I enjoyed Lu Yuxiao's acting here much moreso than LITC that I was invited to watch (and having read the novel beforehand so I quickly realised both leads were majorly dumbed down in characterisation with FL also being completely unlike novel Ming Yi, I back-peddled quite fast after witnessing several details pertaining to Ming Yi in two episodes).
Corporal punishment of the older generations could be dreadful and not right. Yes, abuse physically and/or verbally is what I would classify how oldest sons were treated to build character. I can see the final results in my older brother from my father, which I don't approve of.
I wanted the 2FL to have a great career breakthrough, but I'm also satisfied with her ending. I reckon the VR world and Shanghai architectural possibilities were wasted and not more explored, given the great set-up from the get-go.
This is a good drama, not a great drama. And as a rom-com, definitely highly recommended. I'm happy for the lead actor and actress here :D
