The Legend of Chusen (also Noble Aspirations) is one of the very first true wuixa drama series I've watched since a 17 odd year hiatus away from Asian dramas. I have to say that I am totally impressed after watching 55 episodes of Season 1 and all 18 episodes of Season 2. No regrets whatsoever. I am pretty fresh returning to watch dramas so I didn't find the series draggy at all. Perhaps because I was fully invested in all the characters. I also skimmed through bits of the novel as well. I found my love for Yang Zi in this series. Oh my god, so beautiful!! So cold and unwavering. Her costume was also very fitting. I loved both Yang Zi and her character of Lu Xueqi the most. Both actress and the character kept me going in the series. I also didn't mind Li Yi Feng as Zhang Xiao Fan. It was the first time seeing him in a drama as with the rest of the cast, I found him to be pretty good. I love the bond between the characters of Zhang Xiao Fan, Lu Xueqi, Lin Jing Yu and Ceng Zhu Zhu after the martial arts tournament. Zanilla Zhao played Bi Yao and seemed to have good chemistry with Li Yi Feng. But I wasn't cheering for Bi Yao in this drama, LOL. The cast and characters I found to be very interesting from Jin Ping Er to Qin Wu Man. The theme throughout is what is good and what is evil. A traditional wuxia theme and many characters discussed this in depth during the drama. I was actually shocked by the ending at episode 55 to be honest. But it's something new I guess. I loved the costumes which looking more traditional wuxia. My gripe against some dramas is they make cartoon or anime looking costumes. I then marched onto Season 2 which also had an interesting ending... Despite being incomplete I'd still recommend the series as one to watch. I can't see Season 3 happening with the same cast though. Which will be unfortunate. Like I said before, Yang Zi as Lu Xueqi really made this series interesting for me. I'd be really upset if she didn't return for Season 3 to complete the drama.
