Who Rules the World (2022)

The main couple is interesting, but the story is slow with boring side objectives.

This series has the potential, if the company releases a cut-down version of it. There really is no need for 40+ episodes when almost half of it is filled with time wasting and repetitive objectives. The antagonists' rinses and repeats their scheme in hopes to get at the main protagonists. There are tons of backstabs, and toxic family relationships. Fortunately, the main lead couple are both smart and skillful enough to dodge most of these somewhat lethal traps.

The only interesting thing of this series is the main couple's relationship and romance which comprises of less than 40% of this series. If you are planning to watch this, be prepared to fast forward through the boring script and skip to the good stuff. Otherwise skip this one and give the latest Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre (2019) a shot, that's an example of a drama with a great script and direction.

A typical wuxia drama but an interesting one

I come here because many of my favourite actors (Yang Yang, Zhao Lu Si, Xuan Lu, Liu Rui Lin, etc.) are in the same show. But sadly Liu Rui Lin is somehow an antagonist here (know him as a carefree guy and a good friend in Miss Crow and Mr Lizard).

Back to the storyline. the story sets in a warring state period, but it is not a historical drama. Therefore, one may guess how the story unfolds. Simple Simple. The story is about the power struggles between royal family members and between states. The question is how the black fox and the white fox deal with these power struggles. So far, I think that the best part of the storyline is how the black fox takes care of the white fox. That's sweet and special.

In terms of acting, all of them are good. The fighting scenes are familiar, nothing new.

Plot, story and the ML and FL chemistry

This series is worth waiting for, it gives me goosebumps every episode especially how the ML and FL fighting skills and how they save each other. This WRTW is my most anticipating, and I cant wait for the next episode which is the 11&12 up to ep 40. I really love the character of Bai Feng HeiXi, how they understand each other move, how they argue, how they fight against the enemy and as well as how they save and protect each other when one is in danger. It also gave me how the Hei Fengxi family treat him and so on. I can't wait for the upcoming episode that makes me excited. Waiting!

Its Boring Plot

The Plot:
Because the tag is wuxia I thought there would be lots of typical wuxia fight scenes with some political intrigue as usual plus ML and FL who are great people in the wuxia world. What I didn't expect was that the plot was more political than wuxia, which made me disappointed. If the political plot was interesting at least I wouldn't be as disappointed as this, but unfortunately the political plot presented is very boring, made over and over again, and resolved easily and then repeated again and again, even I already guessed what would happen.

Chemistry :
At first I liked the chemistry when they fought each other but were friends and the relationship was neither bad nor good which was interesting but then the process of them turning into liking each other seemed too fast in the middle of a plot full of political intrigue such as romance which was out of place. So it makes me feel bored. I would prefer if they were friends who help each other rather than lovers.

Ps. I think Zhao Lusi is more suited to a comedy or naughty character like in LLTG because here her neck always looks tense. And for Yang Yang some reason I see him here like seeing Xiao Nai.

THIS IS PERRRRRFECT

Who Rules The World
The interesting story line with alter ego and hidden identity of both leads intrigued me to watch and obviously the casting of Zhao Lusi and Yang Yang.. These two as always acted up the expectations and i couldn't have asked for more.. literally when i first saw the trailer months ago, i got chills and goosebumps all over me and when it finally aired i couldn't keep calm.. Everything is so good, the ost bam Liu Yuning's and upcoming osts from Wang Sulong and many more, the ending music is cool too and NOT TO FORGET ! The outfit, the weapon choice, The makeup, The hair, The set, Everything is really well set and i can't wait to watch more episodes of it. Its really worth the wait ✨

People be complaining about overdubbing but watching all these mainland dramas, its what we should accept as not everyone knows every dialect and This drama has acceptable dubbing .. Its not over the top, Yang Yang's voice is of Wang yibo's voice artist from The Untamed .. Zhao Lusi's voice is the same from her in The Long Ballad (their voices match pretty well) and talking about the role and acting.. its spot on

The flirting isn't cringy and there isn't the typical romantic scenes like mouth to mouth medicine feeding, accidental kiss and all that .. This one has light cute moments and the humor, sarcasm of these characters cracked me up.. its really fun watching it and i am LOVINGGGGGGG IT

Worth watching 110%

When I heard about this drama last year, I was very excited. I was looking forward to the 2 main leads' collaboration because both leads had previously done great work. I am primarily a fan of Zhao Lu Si (English name: Rosy). I have seen all her work, and I found her acting very innovative and effortless. She tends to understand her characters very well, and a joy to watch her performance. Whereas Yang Yang, the first-ever cdrama I watched, was Yang Yang, I found him very handsome and hardworking, and I wanted to see more of his work. Both leads from the first episode showed us great chemistry and outstanding acting skills.
The characters they are playing make you want to keep watching repeatedly. I have rewatched the episodes again, and I love every minute of it. They are believable in the way they pursue their goals, by Witt and intelligent and fantastic combination of fighting skills, not to forget the romance between the leads and the drama showcase their complex emotions for each other, the world around them, and their values.
The storyline is definitely one of the best I have seen in recent years. The other cast members are very talented and have terrific interactions between them. The first few episodes showcased their fighting skills; they were breathtaking and moving. Later episodes show us a subtle romanticism of how the 2 leads started to see each other differently and the feeling of affection and protection and wanting to see each other; by the way, they would look for excuses to stay near each other for a longer time. The cast has done a great job, and the whole team should be very proud of their work. Definitely keeps us guessing and yearning for each episode.
Looking forward to watching how the leads characters develop and their romance. 10/10

Great watch

I enjoyed my time watching this. It has good story, great characters, and I enjoyed the funny moments. I like seeing a female character who was an equal to her male counterpart, however, for a drama where the female character was supposed to be an equal, it does feel like the drama focused more on the male lead a lot more. I've seen a lot of comments about the female character having to be saved many times, but this wasn't a problem for me, as she did a lot of saving and protecting herself too. The villains were... to be honest, boring, there's not much to say about them unfortunately.

I feel it dragged on in the middle, and I wished that they tighten things up in the middle and expand towards the end because that ending... it's just rushed.

Overall, I had a great time watching this drama and it has a lot of entertaining moments, so I'd still happily recommend this to people.

The Power Couple to Beat in Wuxia

Finally a strong female character from beginning to end! I didn't know what to expect from Lu Si since she has always played the adorable FL. However, I was convinced she was a strong and wise woman in this one. I was also worried Yang Yang will be all stoic and stone-faced, but I saw all emotions on his lovely face, thank goodness. This was a no-nonsense type of story-telling (except for some ridiculous fight scenes and vfx). Every character's goal was clear and their journey towards it was coherent. There were no annoying petty characters that serve no great purpose but exist only to make the main leads look good. It's still not as female-centric the way Pocahontas carries the story but it's a refreshing upgrade from the "strong" female characters of Chinese costume dramas I've seen. The power couple to beat in any wuxia.

This is a great historical drama with some wuxia and a romantic storyline that develops slowly and lasts a lifetime. The ending is nice and satisfying, but it felt rushed. The drama has a lot of court politics with betrayal and family enmity but the true characters, the main leads, remain true to themselves and each other all the way to the end. Even though the main leads didn’t have many intimate scenes, their chemistry went beyond skinship; their facial expressions, beautiful embraces, heart-wrenching and heartwarming moments made their love story and partnership enviable to everyone. The drama has very well choreographed fighting scenes, beautiful costumes, and some good CGI’s, with the exception of some war scenes. Overall, the drama is very entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
