I have watched A LOT of wuxia C-dramas and this is one of the best I've seen. The story is complete, moving in a logical progression that keeps you interested and finishing with a satisfying ending rather than the choppy, rushed ending that many C-dramas are guilty of. It's a nice balance of suspense-driven action, a decent amount of romance, and some comedy to lighten it up. I personally really liked the set-up of having the martial arts skilled FL act as the protector of the physically weak yet mentally strong and courageous ML; it's a nice complementary relationship. I also really appreciated the artistic shots--just unnecessarily beautiful.

As others have said, Alan Yu's character is very subdued for most of the drama, so the chemistry is not where it could have been. But he loosens up a bit in the latter episodes and his teasing of the FL will make you smile.
