I'm not generally overly critical drama reviewer. A good script and fascinating characters will win me over. That being said, I have a higher expectation for wuxia dramas and this one sadly was a disappointment. First few episodes was pretty good but halfway through, I found myself begging to reach to the end because it got boring. Too many cliches where the male lead saves the female lead who supposedly has sufficient martial arts skills (from her father's creation) and feared by others is easily injured and often needing the the male lead to risk his life to save her. She can't seem to save herself on her own - seriously, can't we have more powerful female leads capable of taking care of themselves and maybe save a couple where the male lead has to step in? This cliche has been overused for the past two decades and it's gotten tiresome.

Luo Yunxi's performance was the key to watch. His character was problematic and I realized they cut out some scenes from the stills (based on the costume- looked like a flashback). I enjoyed seeing a more emotional Luo Yunxi. I actually found Yukee Chan's performance a bit dull - lacked the charm that she had in her previous dramas.

Lastly, a wuxia drama that barely has any fight scenes were the first few episodes but throughout the drama, it was sprinkling act of here and there. My next search for a better wuxia/love story- Love is a lifetime with Allen Ren.
