Story about heroes and heroines, justice and injustice, victories and losses, sects, intrigues of Demons, who want to take control of everyone, but also about power of friendships, not giving up and fighting for others in good and in bad. About all of this, and also more, Legend of Fei is. Drama which took my breath away and I would recommend it to everyone who need to live story which has everything. Drama which was criticized a lot, but I found my another nostalgia in it.

I need to be in mood for watching historical dramas. As well as for romance and dark thrillers, I always must to be prepared for that specific genre. So when I was, probably three weeks ago, searching for drama which I would have to give a try and someone reminded me that Legend of Fei was airing, my watcher’s view-finder automatically turned in this direction.

Let’s take it lightly. Legend of Fei is historical Chinese drama with strong heroine Zhou Fei in the leading position, there are many plots around this story which let you go to infinite maze which you can’t escape from. If you aren’t ready for big typhoon of information, in this case, you better avoid this drama. Almost every episode, we get to know new parts of story line and new unfamiliar characters. We can see it like pieces of puzzle which slowly fit into the complicated puzzle. As far as story, it’s an insane tangle. Fight scenes, speeches of main characters, which will stuck in your memory, dramatic moments when you will pray that everything will turn out well, only a few times, like a sweet dot in this tough story, romance appears here when we can watch our main characters how they are able to sacrifice for each other and fight against destiny (and how it will end, you can check out yourself, i am not spoiler box). Everything waits for you to discover it and enjoy it.

Story is thrilling from beggining to end. I had problem only with two episodes which I didn’t enjoy too much but I still don’t know why it was like that, maybe my brain stopped to understand this story line’s tangle (or maybe I just didn’t understand because of English, it’s not my national language so that's possible). But story line doesn’t lack tension, it has everything what it should have. One part actually looks very weird (I don’t want to spoiler), someone would think it is from another universe. Maybe it was only because of that moment, everything was absurd back then, but I still can’t be okay with it. I need to watch it again. Because of two episodes, which weren’t so enjoyable, and this absurdity I can’t get 10 points for story. But it’s only detail.

For characters… Zhou Fei is definitely great main heroin. Fearless, strong girl, she has own head, she can think and she doesn’t have problem to stand up for others. That’s my imagination of perfect female lead, I am living for her. Xie Yun is Zhou Fei’s associate, they are incredible duo. Xie Yun’s character is impressive to watch, he is funny, nice, but also intelligent and has a lot to offer in his mind. He gives an impression that he has deep thoughs and he carries so much in himself, that’s true. Definitely amazing character and Wang Yibo suited this very well! For romance between them I can say that’s exactly what I wanted and expected. It perfectly suits story line, it is nonchalant and casual, interactions between Zhou Fei and Xie Yun aren’t awkward, they don’t have problem to communicate with each other and solve things together, they aren’t afraid of touching, they fight for each other. It is just totally normal, light, nice, definitely good and sweet pot for this story. These two are just amazing!

At the beggining, I wasn’t satisfied with Li Sheng’s character but this man had so big character development that I needed to change my mind. Now I am amazed by his character so much. Chuchu was fantastic character too, I only need to add her intelligence sometimes, I still see that scene in forest. Yang Jin, Li Yan and Poisoner were amazing duo too, Yang Jin is just a great guy. I also really enjoyed scenes with Phoenix who I found very interesting.

Demons are typical sect which want to destroy everyone and be the first one in everything, nothing much to say about them, but because of them we have almost all plots here and that’s amazing!

If I should say something to actors/actresses, that’s a gold valley. Zanilia Zhao is absolutely brilliant, it was my first time watching her acting, it didn’t take long and I fell under her spell. Wang Yibo does excellent job as well, he captured Xie Yun’s character perfectly! And also others act so well, especially Zhang Xin Yu who played Yang Jin, that’s unforgettable!

OSTs are beautiful, especially Wu Hua, I think I am in love.

Also I want to say something to cheap-looking effects which is thing about which others have talked a lot. Yeah, it was visible in some scenes, editing sometimes looked weird, but otherwise I can’t say that it disturbed me that much, maybe I’m the only one. I know a lot of people dropped this drama because of this and that’s a pity, because story is worth it and I really hadn’t some big problem with it!

Legend of Fei amazed me, surprised me, it joined my favorites and I believe I will watch it again in the future. Honestly, I am in mood start watch it again right now, I know I will notice more details when I will watch it again.

So if you want a story which will catch you, you aren’t afraid of confusing plots and Wuxia is your favorite, go ahead and watch it, it’s amazing!
