The drama starts out very promising. It has beautiful actors, costumes, and musics. However, the story falls off the cliff half way through. 56 episode-drama is too long for a weak story. The core elements of wuxia are love and power. The drama gets some of the love right (mostly because of the music). However, the power part is completely wrong. There is no clear ranking of power. Main characters (both good and bad) have plot armor making fight scene a joke. Also, the male lead is so weak - it’s pathetic (the female lead also becomes weak – she got infected with weakness). They survive because of “plot armor”. I was hoping to ease the urge while waiting Nirvana on Fire 2. This was a huge disappointment in comparison.
