Okay, you may find me pathetic for giving this drama a low rating and also criticising it as this story is very old and also one of the legends.
I am not gonna talk about which version is good or bad, cause this is the first time I saw this drama and story.
Now lets move to review/rant.
The show is good till 30s eps, so, I think you should watch it till that as it is quite unique with a weak to strong troupe where mc learns different skills by wandering here and there, also the romance is top-notch till 30s eps but after that I recommend you to not become a masochist as I had to become to complete the drama.
All the linearity was lost for me and yeah, beware of people who say that mc has character development...there is no character development other than changing his clothes and giving him a badass look in last 2 eps, there is no clear ending.
I think that this drama could be preferred by children or rather the children at chunni age, the main character is stupid, yes, you could say that its just in his character or his stupidity makes him unique but for me, he was just a man who never learnt from his mistakes.
He kept repeating same mistakes, he never became decisive, I would say that he would make a good harem jp protagonist.
Same for female lead, tbh I watched the drama for her smile lol, it was cute, but the big problem was that it doesn't matter whether a person is dying or killing, she keeps smiling.
At the end, atleast the main antagonist was able to kill the frigging molester, the mc just can't kill anyone...yup he even didn't kill his enemies or the antagonist.
~Now, for those who have seen this~
Yang Kang's mother was a just too worse, first of all, she saved a man and didn't even tell her husband about it...just how much brain damage she had at that time?
After that she didn't tell her son about her real father or his real identity...? Like what? Why didn't she tell him that?
And, the seven heroes were just seven weaklings...meh.
Zhuo butong was the best character!
Hong Qigong was also good.
FL's father was not a tyrant or something...he just misunderstands everything and then regrets.
ML's mother....why she was left alive, she had so less scenes!
Never understood Mu Nianci's reason of falling in love with yang kang.

Still, the music was fantastic or rather addictive, fight scenes were good, not much of flowery sequences.
