Just bad directing and bad story-line and treatment.
I watched this because of Peng Xiaoran. Glad that I discovered Zhu Zhengting. My star goes to the costume, OST, and good looking cast.However story and directing wise not much of an impact. The story lack of emotional grasp on audience. Story-line can be draggy and repeating the same cycle and here and there it's tiring. Lack of intuitive detail in the drama but too much boasting ego of ML it's eye rolling. and then emotion sprung from out of nowhere for supporting characters who we didn't even have the chance to get close before or have emotional empathy how are we going to feel for that character.
2nd half of the drama is just trash. Weak personality from characters and they are hard to relate to. Not to mention the lack of chemistry between actors. The age gap between the ML and FL he could be her father it is so cringe to watch their romance.
I'm glad it's only 25 episodes.
Just bad directing and bad story-line and treatment.

Peng Xiaoran's first movie.
Reason I'm watching was because of Peng Xiaoran - my favourite actress. Lay Zhang was okay, although I would prefer to watch just both of them as ML and FL.Story wise is quite boring, especially the past, I often speed it up. The emotional connection was not quite there. I understand being a movie of Jackie Chan of course there will be creative fighting scenes. But that is all there is...creative fighting scenes.
The worst part for me was the CGI face of younger Jackie Chan. It felt emotionally detached. There were no feel to it and in relation to the other characters. It's lifeless.
I would give it a very low rating, because of the boring story line and inconsistency. But for Peng Xiaoran's sake, I would give it a decent score, because movie ratings and review shows on her MDL page.

A story that does not shy away from the reality of life.
IMO this drama is perfect in every aspect. I gave it 10/10 for the amazing actors and chemistry. Gorgeous and detailed costume and beautiful set. Story line is very good and not a moment boring, fast phased and every episode filled with engaging scene and events. The story line never stuck with one villain from beginning till the end which always gets tiring and annoying. But story progressed beautiful in every stage and plot.I find myself very difficult to stop and go back to my reality. let's not forget the heart capturing OST. I cried, bawled, and smitten and heart warmed.
And of course, the martial art, was amazing and beautifully choreographed. What impressed me the most was Li Qin's agility and badass yet graceful movement. you can just tell if the actor is actually have the stance of martial art by their swinging of weapon and movement, without much help if camera tricks to cover the flaws. I love women with martial art!
Thank you Fated Hearts for the gift of a beautiful drama, very attractive cast, especially main leads, and very good production. I am already a huge fan of the beautiful Li Qin, and I found my new love for Chen Zhe Yuan. They both embodied their roles perfectly and you can't help but just fell in love with them. Despite their age gap, they both looked and fit together perfectly. Chemistry between them is off the chart. Please have them together again in other dramas.
