ennekube, I greatly enjoyed your review of Sweet Tai Chi, and I agree with your general take on the series. Plus, I really like the way you write! <3
Wei Chu (ML) slowly warms up to Feng Piao Piao (FL) and gradually becomes more demonstrative, but he certainly comes across as aloof in the beginning. I attribute this to the heavy weight of responsibility he carries, both as the one his classmates rely on to solve their problems and as the heir to his family's ancient legacy. Plus, he suffers in silence through a long slow recovery from a serious debilitating illness, and hiding his disability isolates him from even his closest friends. :(
Sweet Tai Chi is the second wuxia TV series I have watched from beginning to end. The first was The Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre (2002–2003), aka Yi Tian Tu Long Ji (2002–2003) on IMDb.
These two stories moved me more deeply than any other TV series I have ever watched. The Chinese certainly know how to tell a riveting, heartrending story! <3 <3
