Firstly need to say I usually do not watch much of Wuxia Series as I prefer originals but oh wow this series is really amazing at the start.

Story: Adapted from a Novel, however the story so far has been amazing. Very intriguing and the action scenes are really well done. I have not read the novel myself, however based on sources I have read this is a very good adaptation. I do not wish to spoil the story so will post more next update. (Update 3/1/23) - well the story has just turned it up a notch and legit hate the wait…….great story so far, it hasn’t dragged on and after the first 10 episodes you very much start to get the feel of what this story is about and how it may play out. Draws the audience in thoroughly, (subjective). Update 22/1/23 - well not going to lie here peeps this series started off amazingly. Story was fast paced and done well, what lacked it for me was the slight drag from about episode 23 onwards…..story still good and til the end was still ended well. Brotherhood galore if you all are up for a series that emphasise on mateship and loyalty. Romance/Chemistry sorry it’s a no for this series. The ML/FL to me did not gel well, unlike most other Wuxia series this one is not for that genre, please don’t expect this.

Acting: This Trio, omg this could really be the asian/chinese three musketeers, they are in sync and great chemistry in their roles. Big fan of Liu Xue Yi and seen many of his series, glad he is doing something I have not seen him done before. Acting so far for me is the highlight of the series. (Update 3/1/23) - way more characters get involved now, the martial arts and cgi is very well done, if you are a fan of both these things especially if you are into a fantasy type of cdrama omg you need to watch this. The acting from all the main characters is very well done, personally love how they have their own unique personality and yet still be able to function as a team and yes with added humour as well. Update 22/1/23 - acting still great the main 3 characters have done really well, the side characters played their parts well too up to the end. No issues there, are some characters annoying, to me yes but it’s their acting done well that makes me think they are annoying which means they did their job lolz (subjective).

Music: Quite ordinary for a Wuxia TV series, however nice music based on the setting and the story line so far.

Rewatch Value: I think I have watched the first 1-6 eps x 3 times and watched 7-9 once, but will be rewatching again to catch anything I may have missed. So far very much worth rewatching. (Updated 3/1/23) - watched up to ep 14 and rewatched up to this point several times. Can dare say the rewatch value of this series is a massive 10/10 at this point. (Update 22/1/23) 9/10 is my final decision for rewatch as this series is by no means perfect but for a good series where I want some loyal brotherhood genre with great martial arts and CGI. Yep I’ll watch this for sure. Every ep, likely not but majority yes.

Overall: Great start so far, my only hopes it will not get ruined near the mid/end parts of this series. Great acting and dialogue, story is good as well. Very well worth watching this just before 2022 and into early 2023.

Thanks again everyone for liking the review, appreciate this muchly, ^_^

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone,
