I have watched this series 7 times (I am not exaggerating) and still feel like I am watching it for the first time. I still feel excited watching Langxi prepare plans to confess his feelings. I still come across explanations I missed before. I also learned to slow down the speed at .75 so I have time to watch the artists expressions while reading the subtitle. I am so glad Netflix has this series and Tencent.

what a journey!
i finally finished this drama after putting it off for a couple of hours (i wasn't strong enough to put it off for more time ahaha) i just wanna say i really adore this drama and the performances from this drama are incredible. many thanks to the cast and crew for making this drama happen. 🙇🏽♀️💗 (read on to read me rambling about how much i adore this series i guess ahaha)the plot kept me entertained and i waited for every episode very anxiously. the characters were new to me and i fell in love with the two leads and their dynamics. the supporting characters served their purpose: some annoyed me, some stung my heart (pu and xiyue) and others got in the way for plot convenience.
the performances in this drama are really great. zhao lusi really shone in this production, i loved watching her emotional scenes and seeing her character rise against all the misfortune that befell on her. yangyang seriously surprised me,this is the first drama of his i've ever watched. i have to say: Lanxi's dedication and love for Xiyun is so heartwarming. we had already seen it from the first episodes. i especially watched his performance during episodes 27-28. he nailed the role! the soundtrack is great, im obsessed with the opening theme. i loved watching the comedy bits, and the sismance between qiwu and bai fengxi. i enjoyed this SOO MUCH, so i've rated this a solid 10/10. a thousand thanks to all those who contributed to this series: the cast, crew, subbers, distributers and just EVERYONE. special shoutout to my favorite supporting characters (in no particular order): qiwu, zhongli, feng chang, han pu, xiyue, and some others i dont remember their names :( i love this series so much, and im not very good with words so i'll have to stop at a THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 💙⚔😭🥰

Best Action/Romance Costume Drama So Far
Thoughts:The second drama I watched. I loved watching such strong characters come together with the unconditional love and support they demonstrated. Again I would have liked to see more of their happy life at the end of the journey. Their journey and support of each other is the main event of this drama for me.
Plot:
Epic action/romance story about an hero who is forced to live a double life and a FL who is every inch his equal from day one. This is going to be a tear-jeaker on some parts so be ready.
Action/Martial Arts: Moderate boarding on substantial
Fantasy/Supernatural: No
Romance: Main theme with a heavy dose of palace politics
Hidden/Unknown Identities: Yes
Past Connection: Yes
Time Skip: No
Separated: No
Amnesia: No
Love Triangle: No
LD Chemistry: No fish kisses. Connection feels real. You can feel the love.
Evil/Troubled Supporting LD's: No
Parents/Family: FL entire family and friend are supportive and loving. ML's family is troubled in the beginning with a lot of palace family conflict. Get's sorted out eventually.
Misunderstandings: Not between LD's.
LD's
Power couple from the beginning though only the ML knows it. ML chases FL first. ML is supportive but jealous. Not in a creepy way. Loved the way the LD's grew into the perfect couple once the FL realized how perfect they where for each other.
Support LD's:
Great story development for SL's that explain their actions and intentions.
OST:
I have saved this OST to my playlist. Enough said.

One of the best historical drama I've seen so far!
The narrative of this drama is really satisfying. For a 40 episode drama, you might think you'll lose interest at some point, but that is something this drama handled really well. There are multiple arcs and each arc is crafted thoughtfully. Overall, the narrative is really consistent to say the least. This drama also has a huge cast, but each character has their own agenda and interesting backstory, the character development throughout the season is also consistent. Even though it's a drama, the politics inside a royal family felt real, the writer did a really good job at this. Lastly, the main leads are the best element, this duo is one of my all time favorites from now on. I'm lucky I found this rare gem!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi are so amazing huhu how can I move on from this again T______T And the plot of the story is so good, kudos to the script writer! And the Fight scenes, so satisfyiiiing huhu!
I hope there is season 2, or even season 3! huhu
Who Rules the World is a wuxia romance drama that will captivate you from the first episode to the last. It is based on a novel by Qing Lengyue, and stars Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi as Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi, two martial arts masters who fall in love amidst the chaos and intrigue of the ancient world. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, and their romance is sweet, funny, and heart-wrenching. The drama also boasts a well-written plot, with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The action scenes are stunning, with impressive choreography and special effects. The costumes, sets, and cinematography are also beautiful, creating a vivid and immersive world. This drama is a must-watch for fans of wuxia and romance genres, and will leave you wanting more. I hope there will be a season 2, or even a season 3, to continue this amazing story. This is my top favorite wuxia romance drama ever, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

You will enjoy the perfect chemistry of Yang Yang and Lusi
I recall DML score of this drama at episode 2 was 6.3. Then it becomes 8.6 and as of today it’s 8.7. I am glad there are lots of viewers who enjoyed this drama despite some early viewers. Since I am a big fan of Lusi & YY, I gave overall score of 10.There are lot more viewers who wrote very handsome and detail reviews, so I recommend to read them before you decide to watch this drama. Therefore I must give them overall review of 10 to show my appreciation to all the people who involved making this drama. It was very enjoyable and thanks all for excellent works to make this such a enjoyable drama.
Compared to other similar costume drama, main CP were always side by side, they respect each other and love each other. This type of relationship in the storyline gave me such a happy feeling whenever I see them. And this two main actors chemistry made this drama 200% better.
I just hoped they made more romance part of Lusi and YY since 80% were politics, plots and wars. I also hoped the story line included family love between Lusi, her older brother and her farther, and cut it short of villains’ sorry. Most warm hearted character were not showed much. They were gone so quickly. It was little sad the story didn’t show much of Lusi side of family affair. (Well, I like the actor who played Lusi’s older brother. Very nice looking actor (^O^)
Music OST are also great. Especially opening song is my favorite. Lusi’s EYEBROWSE are the cutest and her horse riding and dancing skills are as great as usual. Yang Yang’s acting skill is getting better and better since You Are My Glory!!!

Understanding, Caring, Supportive Romance
Back to my first love - wuxia and this drama ticks most of what I love about this genre. Gorgeous costumes and breathtaking martial arts.Story wise, it was good with some interesting little reveals but did not tug at my heartstrings like Untamed or Ten Miles of Peach Blossom. What I enjoyed most was their positive relationship where there was little misunderstandings and hardly any jealousy or love triangles. Both leads were strong characters that helped and supported each other.
Unfortunately, other parts of the story seemed a bit lacking. One annoying one was when someone was assumed to have killed another person just because she was the last one to have met that person… it didn’t matter that these 2 persons were in a close relationship and there was no motive for the murder…
Overall a decent watch if you’re a wuxia fan and have already seen all the popular ones.

The Tale of Bai-Hei Fengxi
"Who Rules The World" initially presented a challenge to draw me in, but after three episodes, I found myself captivated by the immersive storyline. The exceptional cast, led by the talented Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi, delivered performances that added layers of depth to the narrative. The romance aspect showcased remarkable chemistry, steering away from typical rom-com misunderstandings. Instead, the main couple thrives on a foundation of deep trust and open communication, bringing a refreshing authenticity to their relationship dynamics. This intentional choice allows the audience to revel in the genuine connection between the characters. ❤️The well-executed plot maintained my interest with its numerous twists and political intrigues. The drama excelled in portraying a strong, independent female lead, featuring impressive fight scenes and emphasizing equality with her male counterpart. The beautiful set designs and costumes added an aesthetic charm, enriching the overall viewing experience.
👉"Who Rules The World" is a captivating blend of romance, intrigue, and empowerment, making it an absolute must-watch. ❤️ It is now a new addition to my list of favorite historical dramas.

Another Zhou Lusi HOME RUN!
I watched LOVE LIKE THE GALAXY on Viki before watching this series on NETFLIX. Zhou Lusi is a NATIONAL TREASURE. I thought her and Leo Wu gave me fever, but her and Yang Yang, DAYUM! They kissed only once in this series, but my gosh, the chemistry between these two comes through your screen. Lusi would have chemistry with a rock if it was her leading man. Then there is Yang Yang! The word quiet sexy was invented for this man, it just was.Okay what did I like about the story:
1) I loved that they were always there for each other and to save each other/
2) ML+ FL we both smart and sensical.
3) Great supporting cast - Solid acting company- Strong female characters
4) They didn't spend too much time on a particular story arc, the story kept moving
5) Beautiful cinematography
6) Great Special Effects
7) Beautiful costumes
8) Musical score fit the characters and story.
What I disliked:
1) Killing off characters I like - C-Drama Staple that I HATE
2) Too many battle scenes with killing - became redundant after a while
3) That bittersweet ending - middle finger to the writer who came up with that curve ball at the end.
Overall, I don't regret one minute of watching this wonderful series and I highly recommend this drama. I will definitely watch again.

Plot, story and the ML and FL chemistry
This series is worth waiting for, it gives me goosebumps every episode especially how the ML and FL fighting skills and how they save each other. This WRTW is my most anticipating, and I cant wait for the next episode which is the 11&12 up to ep 40. I really love the character of Bai Feng HeiXi, how they understand each other move, how they argue, how they fight against the enemy and as well as how they save and protect each other when one is in danger. It also gave me how the Hei Fengxi family treat him and so on. I can't wait for the upcoming episode that makes me excited. i urged you all to watch this drama, you won't understand what am, saying until you take a look at the drama, watch and give me a like later. Waiting!
