To enjoy this drama, do not read any spoiler.
This is a fantasy romance and power-fight story. If you are to enjoy this, do not read any spoiler. There are some interesting twists in the story. You might be able to guess that some people were not what they seemed to be but you would have to wait until later in the story to find out.
It has all the nice elements of Chinese dramas of recent years - good looking cast, excellent acting skills, nice costumes, good cinematography, interesting story line. The story line is interesting and it would keep you wondering what is going to happen at the end. Unfortunately for me, I read the Wikipedia write-up which was a spoiler and it spoiled some of the suspense and surprises.
But it has also the same weaknesses with parts of it illogical (or sometime I think it's cultural). There is always these male or female characters who refuse to see that their love is not reciprocated but continue to harass and stalk to the detriment of either themselves or their love. As usual, the ending may not be entirely all you wish for, although it is not a tragedy.
Also, may I say that the title should be 'Fighter of Destiny'. Destiny is not countable nor is it definite. There the extra 'the' is not appropriate. There are often all these small errors in English in titles and subtitles which do not look professional.
Gülnezer is very pretty but there does not seem much on-screen chemistry with Lu Han. The 'intimate' scene between them does not invoke any romantic feeling watching them (quite unlike Ten Mile Peach Blossom, Pillow Story, Journey of Flower, Nirvana in Fire, Sound of Desert, Ashes of Love, Princess Agent or any of those in their league). Instead, you might find that the hero and second lead were more loving. Or perhaps, I am desensitized after watching so many romance story.
