Go watch it, highly recommended !
If you like a story with intrigue political and also wuxia genre, this is the right one you looking for. First i don't put so much expectation but i fell in love in very first episode. This is so rare to find the relationship between master & his 'subordinate' as one of highlight of the story. Most of drama would tell about friendship with same age but this friendship between Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang even successfully make me burst into tears. (P.S another drama which have this relationship is Joy of Life).Second, the romance between ML and FL is so adorable without showing romantic scene whole time.
Third, the best thing...relationship between Son and Father. I think this is the biggest surprise hahaha.
Overall i love the plot, Xu Fengnian is hiding his cleverness and also his real character as a wise man but sometime i just think that Xu Fengnian really has a great luck by having powerful guards by his side. Xu Fengnian, how lucky you are!
Casting, perfect! Zhang Ruo Yun is right person to portray future king with his cunning character and but generous to other people. Another one who impress me is Finn Han, the little boy portray an leader of Sect Zhao Xuan Su. Damn how can a little boy can imitate an old man expression and have a good body language. He's going to be a bright star certainly.
Totally casting i found it kinda funny that it almost looks like Joy of Life in lite version, i mean if you have watched Joy of Life you will find some familiar faces in here too.
Another Great thing, LOCATION and CGI. sorry i have to capslock this. I really mean it. Since it's about someone's journey, there are many location that awe me especially the weeds field. CGI, is very well done! I'm pretty much sure it costs high budget to produce such a high quality of FX.
One word. Go watch it! Highly recommended.

Bring me to childhood
Interesting..! i used to watch the anime many years ago then i accidentally found C-drama in IQiyi with same name.Never had high expectation because mostly drama adaptation from anime are worse than the original one.
But it changes my mind. I binge watch it and take a premium service to get more episodes when it's still airing that time.
Even i learn Go rules though i never play it. And discuss it with strangers on twitter about the games.
The actors is excellent. Especially chemistry between 2 ML (Shi Guang & Chu Ying). Chu Ying is such a good mentor and best brother and best friend of Shi Guang. I can't forget the last farewell scene.
I hope this drama would make Go popular in real life.

Don't sleep on this drama
Excellent !Actors : Actors are doing great job. The emotion of cast is well performed. I think they're going to be more popular in the future after this.
Plot story : The best , though many said ending is not as expected but i like it much (my kind of fav ending xoxo).
Production Set : not many take attention to production set, I found they hired many extras, it's a good thing too.
Costumes : i wonder why Dr Chen's always fashionable even at home, but i still love how he looks.
Music : the only thing that lack on this drama. The only good one is comic relief music Jin Dacheng appearance.
This drama need more appreciation.

Love and hate relationship
i watch the old version back then in 90's and i like it very much. I have high expectation on this remake but somehow it doesn't impress me so much like the older one.Story. it's not fully adapted similiar to the novel - but yeah still connect to the stories.
From ep 1~22 interesting. We have to wait until ep 5 or 6 (i forget this :p) to Wuji make an appearance.
From 23 - end, the story starts to slow pace and some parts is draggy, makes me forward it occasionally. it happened when in Snake Island - Wuji 's trapped along with 4 beautiful girls. Lol...he's harem. Too soft hearted with girls and make them fall in love with him. Somehow i prefer Wuji end up with Xiao zhao.
Finally the ending (which is happy ending) it doesn't leave the feeling "empty" after watching a good series.
I kinda forget the older version ending, but this version Dragon slaying sabre only show off to cut Emperor's seat ? seriously ?
Acting - best acting goes to actor of :
- Zhang San Feng (Wang De Shun) : he looks like a real character alive from novel. Wise great leader and teacher for Wudang Clan.
- Cheng Kun (Terry Fan) : he reprised a role of good and a bad guy in one character very well.
- Little Wuji (Han Haolin) : can't imagine he's just 9 years old when it's shooting but he's acting very good. Cute and smart boy.
- Yang Xiao (Lin Yu Shen), I like his charisma as a wise leader and glance of his sharp eyes.
Music : not impressive. They can do better with epic classical music.
Rewatch : only episode 8,21, 22
Overall :
Hate it because of i can't get chemistry between Wuji and Zhao Min. ( i used to be a fan of Joseph Wang)
and the fight scenes too much slow motion. Best fight version of HSDSS is Jet Li as Chang Mo Kei.
Love it because of the story which has been well known worldwide - great writing by Jin Young master.
You must watch it especially if you're a fan of Jin Young master. Otherwise, still go watch it ^^

Low expectation but ended up Jaw dropping
StoryBefore i watch this drama, i just finished watching Nirvana in Fire i think NIV is of the best drama that can pair with Game of Thrones in this genre. But after i watch Joy of Life, damn...i find another historical drama with intense political intrigue as good as NIV. The better thing in Joy of Life, there is not only one hella smart person, there are many ! (Fan Xian, Emperor of Qing, Chen Ping Ping, Shen Zong even the unexpected one - the 2nd Prince! ).
I love the ending how Yan Bing Yun choose to kill Fan Xian, it's going to be more intense later when someday he will find the truth about his real identity as Xiao En's grandson and he finds out that Fan Xian has known it for long time and choose to hide it considering this truth will ruin Yan's life.
Finally can't wait to see Fan Xian resurrected and i believe he will get more memories about his past life.
Cast : more than Excellent !
Honestly i dont know much about Zhang Ruo Yun but must admit it..the cast director did a great job to choose him as male lead. He has so many facial expressions and i love it. He can potray Fan Xian very well ! smart, manipulative, deliquent, loyal friend and easy to win people's heart.
Music : overall is good, only there is one part that sound likes Italian modern music which is not suit for historical drama.
Rewatch : Do it if you have spare times. But i prefer to move on to my wishlist drama that i haven't watched yet.

Xinxia drama that makes me laughing so hard
Binge watch it on 5 days and it worth the time. I don't expect too much but it's satisfying me eventually.I have watched many wuxia and xinxia drama but rarely have comic relief scene, even in very first episode - it's successfully makes me burst out laughing like reference to 'Naruto' nine tail fox and F4 from Meteor Garden.
I found the most hilarious scene that remind me of Stephen Chow's comedic scene "Bao Bao ?" hahaha.
Though most of episode had funny scenes, the main story itself is really good !
Wait until the end....the biggest plot twist is there ! tho i still can figure this out in early episode :D.
What makes me little bit disappointed - i don't like the romance relationship between Wang Lu and Wang Wu.
From ep 1~36 we have watched teacher and disciple behave silly together , it's kinda weird to see them as a couple in the end.
Music? overall is good. There is one part (fighting scene) that sound like anime backsound :D *it's fine, i like it.
Acting ? everyone seems doing their job well -especially Sandrine aka Wang Wu. I never imagine beautiful lady can make lots of funny expression face XD. Xu Kai ? well he is the reason i watch this drama :p of course his acting is good.
Rewatch ? i think i'll rewatch it in some comedic parts only that entertain me so much.
Finally...i really wish there will be a sequel about fight between Wang Lu vs Hai Yun Fan as demon king.
