In first sword of wu dang, the show was not like the other shows like heavenly sword and dragon slaying sabre or the legend of the condor heroes or even the romance of the condor heroes. It showed an adventure like the others but it does not show growth in martial arts skills and the female lead(the wife of the male lead) seems powerless thus lacking the duo fighting scenes which i loved to watch like the others. I loved the previous shows due to the growth in feelings of the adventure where misunderstandings and obstacles obstructed their relationships while helping each other and slowing grow their feelings for one another.
