Now that the series is finally over, and the diverse reviews we can finally move on. For me this was a difficult…
I totally agree with what you said!
For me, I love wuxia for its grand storytelling, incredible fight scenes, and those breathtaking, sweeping landscapes.
That said, this drama just didn't quite meet my expectations. It feels like maybe the director or screenwriter wasn't at their best this time around. Sometimes, the quality of a drama really depends on those behind the scenes, if the screenplay isn't well-written or the direction isn't strong, it can affect the overall feeling of the show.
As a fan of wuxia love stories like A Journey to Love, Sword Snow Stride, Who Rules The World, and Dashing Youth, i usually rewatch them. Unfortunately, this drama didn't meet my expectations.
The main character is portrayed as girly and weak, and the story leans heavily on melodrama rather than the depth and resilience typical of wuxia. While some fight scenes are good, overall, it feels like it sacrifices the true spirit of wuxia for superficial appeal. Better character development and storytelling would make it more satisfying for fans of the genre.
