This is probably the first time I am really impressed with the snow backdrop in which the drama is presented to us.
Plot-The show is all about Huo Zhanbai,a martial artist from the Sword sect and Xue Ziye,who fall in love after Zhanbai insists the chief of Apothecary valley to treat his martial brother son who suffers from an incurable disease.Their relationship grows stronger over the eight years ,which Zhanbai spend to gather 5 rare herbs for the treatment.
Pros-I would really give a thumbs up to the snow scenery and background.It was serene,calm,impressive,classical,in my opinion.
Probably,if not for the snow backdrop as the main premise,this drama would be a regular watchable one.But,the ice theme has definitely elevated the mood and made it much more beautiful.I really loved the sceneries.They were perfect.I must say the snow scenery is the biggest asset of this drama.Never knew snow could be so beautiful!!!
Action-All the actors were good.Li Qin,Joseph Zeng,Wang Hongyi,Jenny Zeng,Edward Chen and Kim Jin were perfect in their characters.All.the other cast were also good.A special mention of Kim Jin and his acting ability.He was the perfect villain in this beautiful snow.His action was top notch.
Music, costumes, sets, locations,plot, screenplay,pace,everything were good.There were no deviations from the main plot.
I suggest to watch this timeless, emotional,classical love set in a snowy valley and a snowy night!!
A must watch drama if you like dramas withba classical touch!!
