The 21st century deserves a better quality of production and acting
I started watching this drama because I like wuxia. I stopped watching it because I like wuxia and I want it to stay that way. Legend of Fei advertised itself as a quality production, meanwhile I got the quality of cheap web drama with plastic plants, horribly unsuccessful CGI and fight scenes where it's just plain that they were made by doubles, not actors. The actors themselves also act as if they were there for punishment and dreamed only of being anywhere but on the set of this drama. Their acting is emotionless, expressionless and based on a few perfectly trained facial expressions - three or four, which they change depending on whether the scene is thromantic or an action scene, but there is no difference anyway. The music lacks any individual features and sounds like music to hundreds of other c-dramas. Actually You Fei is a production below average, it is distinguished by the fact that due to the popular actors it had a very large advertisement, which only increased the disappointment of the viewer, who is not a fan of actors but of the genre.I had a hard time making it to the second episode, but not the end of it. I watched the episode and a half suffering aesthetic torture.

This review may contain spoilers
I was wondering whether to write a negative review, but I thought it was good to also talk about negative impressions so others can avoid them.In the first episode, a guy is in unimaginable pain and this scene is accompanied by silly music. A doctor and a serious businessman argue over a cup of coffee like five-year-old children and the doctor deliberately puts a slimy finger in his coffee. That's the kind of drama I can't survive. That alone is enough to make me abandon this drama forever and forget its existence. A doctor deliberately putting her saliva in someone's coffee? And this is supposed to be FL?
As for the plot, everything started so cliché and the characters are so idiotic that I can't expect either an interesting plot or strong emotions. Especially since the first scene already indicated that this would be a drama full of stereotypes, boring and badly shot.
The cinematography is weak. The dialogues are terribly bland. The music not only doesn't enhance the scene but totally ruins it. I feel sorry for Park Hae Jin for being ML in something so weak.
