Your stereotypical Wuxia show, "The King of Blaze" is an ok story to pass the time.

Nothing new about the story... the leading man is an almighty Xian who came to earth and met other Xian's he used to know back in heaven and got reincarnated on earth. They journeyed together, fought evil. The usual.

As a Zhang Yi Jie fan I naturally find the storyline of the second couple more interesting. The writing of his story as a secondary character was not overly restricted by the plot and was very enjoyable in itself. I like how the reincarnation (his relationship with the princess) was played out. The casting was very spot on. His acting was quite developed in this show and it was really fun to watch (unfortunately, this is not the case with the sequel). This project was possibly his passport into the world of Chinese showbiz.

I'd watch the show for the second couple alone.
