Yi nian guan shan

A formulaic Chinese drama but great actors.

The settings and costumes are out of this world.

It must cost a fortune just for the costumes.

We are exrtemely upset that they replaced the male lead.

We have watched him in other shows.

He plays the calm,cool and collected role very well.

We think the goor chemistry with the cast is excellent.

We don't know how changing any characters will improve the show.

Liu Yu Ning, and Liu Shi Shi were wonderful together.

Alen Feng,He Lan Dou,Chen You Wei,Wang Yi Zhe,Chang Hua Sen really gelled with the leads to make this a terrific show.

We would certainly look for series with this cast.

I was drawn to the show by the posters and trailers but the male lead turned out to be too disappointing. His crying scenes are unimpressive and lack emotions. It seems the actor doesn't have a deep understanding about the character and his performance is too flat and short of layers.

The famale lead's performance is acceptable, neither a breakthrough nor a surprise. Though she moves around in a slightly wooden way, most of the time she is a beautiful picture to behold.

Other characters in the Liu Dao Tang brigade are more or less stereotypes except the princess, who has an engaging and complete character arc.

The character building of Li Tong Guang is such a pity. He could have been a shining character but ended up to be a childish hothead with split personality.

The plot is tight in the beginning, sluggish in the middle (I had to fast forward the kissing scenes), and super fast in the end. The court politics part is a bit shallow and unrealistic.

I watched a lot of k drama/movies not Chinese but recently there have been some good ones as with this series started of normal flying fights which as a Englishman I don't get but I carried on and. To my amazement it got better some time ff button is useful mind But it's got action comedy drama sword fights and beautiful actresses makes me want to move to China Anyhow on to ep16 at moment and all

I can say it's I will watch rest ep 14 was superb if u watch ur notice at end as things to do with fallen leaves first time I've really seen comical script like this from China myself that is others may have. Enjoy.

I don't usually watch Chinese dramas, but this one is different and very entertaining. 1. The story makes sense and maintains a strong dramatic tension throughout. 2. The brilliant portrayal of the two main female characters: one, a cold female assassin who learns about love and trust, and the other, a delicate princess who learns about bravery and responsibility. 3. The male lead doesn't look like a good person on the surface, but he's gentle inside and an exceptional team leader. Watching the hero and heroine leading a team adds a special allure to the plot. 4. It's hilarious but also brings tears to your eyes.

Amazing series! This has been one of the best series that I have watched in terms of acting, writing, cinematography and strong characters, never a dull moment . The story and sound effects are very well blended. The actors and actresses in this series were amazing especially Liu Yu Ning and He Lan Dou. The synchronized and individual martial arts are mesmerizing and beautifully executed. Characters and character development was very satisfying.

Acting was superb! From the subtle details such as a twitch of a facial muscle and lip movement, to the cracked voice in emotional scenes. Everyone had their moments. I have never felt so much emotions while watching a drama before and I'm glad for such a beautiful and bittersweet journey.

It was kind of a bittersweet ending, but a happy one at the same time. It is a sad ending but not a bad ending, for me personally it's satisfying.

Overall I highly highly recommend this fantastic and very entertaining drama series.
