This is by far the greatest chinese drama out there. Im not going to go into the details of the show as others have already gone deep into them but if youre planning to watch this as your first chinese/historical drama DONT WATCH IT. It will ruin your immersion since it is quite complex and intricate. If you dont understand the court and the political system go watch WHO RULES THE WORLD. It has more romance than this but it is simple and does a good job explaining everything. It also explains the martial arts world quite well and is a very good watch in its own right. If you want to know more about the martial arts world and alliances watch MYSTERIOUS LOTUS CASEBOOK first. It explains alliances, martial arts powers and inner powers well. It is also a very good watch. You want to come in prepared before starting this masterpiece to enjoy it to its full extent.
