STORY: I think the story is alright. I felt really bored and not drawn into it. I usually drop dramas asap, but some urge making me wanna finish it. Maybe cus a huge fan of Ten Miles Peach Blossoms, it made me want to mainly because of that reason. I would prefer this one over The King's Woman, cus I thought that one was really bad. Too bad there are spoiler sypnosis' all over wiki. So don't go read wiki and if you're planning to watch on Viki, warning, many watchers post spoilers in the video commentings so turn those off too. Also, I found out this was based on a novel of the same name. Usually producers always add their own unique twists to movies and dramas, so yep. I felt like this drama was going very slow and the romance in here is not strong. I did a lot of fast forwardinggg. And like what another review said, the fighting scenes really are top notch, the actors trained well and put on a good show on that part.

ACTING/CAST: The acting is overall okay, I am quite impressed by some actors in here.

-Dilraba: I was never really a huge fan of Dilraba. I always thought that she is extremely beautiful though. I've first noticed her in Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and felt that she is a very stiff actress overall. But this drama, you can definitely see her improvements. I wanted to applaud her for that. I was most impressed by her martial arts scenes in the drama. I didn't know she could do that!!! She has done so well on her martial arts as if she is a professional. You can tell she worked hard. My jaws dropped and I definitely replayed her fighting scenes and the slow-mo's several times, hahahahha.

-Vic Zhou: Was not a fan of this character he portrayed. Throughout the movie I didn't like him until the last episode, to be honest.

-Zhang Bin Bin: Always pleased to see his face everywhere. I enjoy his sad face expressions that he is usually very good at. I feel he plays the same personality in every drama now, lol.

-Liu Wayne: His acting in this drama is okay. Unsure if it was his expressions that didn't seem so convincing or it is maybe just his face.

-Lai Yi: HE IS SO CUTE. Grew a mini crush on him in Ten Miles Peach Blossoms. I felt he is SO HOT in this drama. Fell deeply in love with him more in this drama because his costume & look made him more outstanding! I also wanted to applause him playing very well as the villain in this drama. Never knew he has this skill since in TMPB, he plays a very kind disciple.

Sun Xiao Lun & Ge Shi Min: Saw that this is these 2 pretty ladies' first dramas, they did such a beautiful job portraying strong women. They both seem very experienced actresses already! They both have a lot of potential!

MUSIC: As a huge fan of music & soundtracks, I usually checkout if soundtrack music is nice and they usually naturally catch my attention, but definitely didn't.

Rewatch Value
I would not rewatch it again... I kinda forced myself to watch it to the end. I doubt that not even in 10 years would I rewatch it.

OVERALL:
I lowkey enjoyed it. I would not say it is the best nor terrible, just very ok. It could been better in some ways, idk. I do not have much to say, I only did it for the liking of the similar actors from Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.
