When this drama started airing, people where saying that it Xu Kai first flop drama. Little did they know this would be a very addictive watch. This drama is set in the early 1900s, and deals with kung fu sects and their outdated rules.

Throughout the drama the themes of greed, indoctrination, power structures and the question of what it means to be a “dog” are brought up. The romance is settle but adorable and precious. And all characters are equally interesting.

Expect to have to use some brain power for the first episodes to understand the context and story. From there the events of the story unraveled nicely with many twists and turns.

Disclaimer not to judge the ending too harshly as it was the subject to censorship. Its a nice ending but cut short. Nonetheless this is a good watch.
