I love historical wuxia Cdramas and this is one of the best I've seen! 😍 could not wait for the new episodes and so would check here for news and spoilers to ease my impatience. Really enjoyed the entire series, even if there were some dull moments & plot holes.

WHAT I LOVED:
-Obviously, all the fight scenes (episode 12 was shockingly good!)
-Chemistry between ML & FL
-Acting of ML & FL (I love CL from MJTY and was amazing here but ZY played her part of female general so well, her story very believable)
-Amazing scenes like confession in Jinyang, the moon scene with the pouch, LiKuang recognizing He Yan as He Rufei after receiving her note, etc.
-Episodes leading up to Jinyang arc, esp. the competitions and friendships gained
-the outfits!
-CL was amazing yet again !!!

WHAT COULD BE BETTER:
-Editing & flow was kinda uneven but I heard they had so many issues, like 40 episode maximum and replacing/deleting scenes for Cheng Lisu character
-Too much time spent on He Yan's shifu's story
-He Rufei's acting (too exaggerated, like comedy)
-Biggest plot hole was how He Yan didn't recognize Cheng Lisu at Yezhou even though they went to school together!
-Music was not memorable & sadly the music could not elevate the story (compare for ex. with the Double)

There's a lot of hate for Chu Zhao but the story needed a villain and he did a good job playing a morally gray bad guy who really messed up and lost everything & everyone at the end. First time I see this actor and heard he'll be in Rebirth with the amazing LYR so hopefully he'll get a better break there with more fan love!

9/10 and definitely worth rewatching for the EPIC moments!
