Crash landing a luxurious flight.
The drama started on a slow pace which after a while caught quickly and reached real peak of the story around episode 20s which, unfortunately, 'crash landed in the Hudson river'.The acting were okay except some places as some shot really didn't match the flow. The production was also quite good as they brought out the spot sense. Cast could do slightly better in terms of some characters. Even then they did a great job and I enjoyed most of the drama.
The drama had a great flow of interesting events which later the story's lack or because of the direction they messed it up towards the end. Overall It's very interesting to some extend in the drama.

Movie :The kung fu cult master + Drama: The Romance of the Condor Heroes 2014
The production is quite good. Multiple location worthwhile CGI's etc but the story seems to be a light, long version of return of condors.I love the drama Return of Condor Heroes. Being a huge fan I was biased even before I started this series. So I cannot be a good judge of the drama and say it was good. It's good but not better or worse. The story is culmination of the jet li movie and 'The Romance of the Condor Heroes 2014'.
The cast were amazing & fight scenes were okay but what really stood out was that they matched the huge casting done in its predecessor. Nothing is lost in quantity or quality except the ML character felt like too 'goodie' (Not a spoiler).
At the beginning of the series they went really huge on different sets and loved the vastness of the series but later on that became a mild factor as the whole story was kind-of-draggy. None the less worth watching one time.

A movie with an IMPACT
I felt depressed after watching this movie. The whole premise is a twisted play of life in the dark sense.The one thing that stuck with me is that the character Xu Yi was violated and didn't get any justice. After watching the movie I felt li er & Zhang Yang have no right to make that final comment on Xu Yi's life or how his life might be now. Both of them played out his emotions like a play thing and expected everything to fall in line with their expectation.
The fact that Zhang Yang turned out the way he did makes it more unjustified. He ruined someone who trusted him and destroyed someone else and he gets to live the life he wanted.
Xu Yi ended up like that because of what happened to him but what happened to him were due to the deep emotional left by many others. His mother killed herself, his first love turned out to be trap set by his most trusted friend to destroy himself and the girl who had a crush turned out to be a silent instigator. His half brother succeed in destroying his younger half brother on many levels. His family(parents), his love life, his career and his future self.
