With its engaging storyline, electrifying chemistry between the gorgeous leads, breathtaking cinematography, stirring music, exciting action sequences and fabulous costumes, Who Rules The World is one of the best and most beautiful Chinese dramas I've watched. Yangyang stars as both Prince Lanxi and martial arts top drawer Hei Fengxi while Zhao Lusi is Princess Xinyu and Hei Fengxi's martial arts rival Bai Fengxi. Both are perfect for their fated-for-each-other dual roles.
Starting off as rivals for supremacy in the martial arts world, they eventually fall for each other. I just love intelligent leads like them, always steps ahead of their enemies. It's fun watching them outsmart schemers while always having each other's back. Their steadfast love and respect for each other as well as absolute trust in each other are so heartwarming, I didn't want the series to end.
If this had a happier or a more definite ending, I would have quickly given it a perfect score.

This show exceeded my expectations in every way. A spectacular display of Smart vs. Smart. No unnecessary dramas at all, I find myself very often in awe of the character's' wisdom, and charm in strategising and in battles, including the villains. Everything happens for a reason and every move was calculated. Even when unexpected situations occur, the characters can quickly adjust and move forward.
The show has a great pace and the plot does not drag even when extremely difficult decisions need to be made.
I'm deeply touched by the key messages the show wants to delivery as a ruler and as a lover. (I won't spoil it) I really enjoy watching the two protagonists fight alongside each other and be there for each other. The world is a dangerous place and even all odds might be against them, at least they have each other.

Just when you think it's getting redundant about episode 21 it renews itself and you see it's not only a war against his brother but a great love story. I'm thoroughly enjoying it and I'm on episode 32. It's worth putting up with the subtitles. And not only are the actresses great but beautiful as well. And I'm sure the women will think the same of the actors. Siri singly good. I'm amazed there are only 490?reviews.. people are missing out big time!

One of the best martial arts film. I wish there was more film like this. After bloody romance, heavenly sword, and handsome siblings. I really love this one. Great story line and love the two main characters. I wish there were more films like this on Netflix and I am really happy that this was made. The writers, the director and the entire cast did well. The CGI is impeccable. Hidden gem and binge worthy. 10/10.
A great drama, very good performance and amazing chemistry between the main leads. Some claim the story copies Nirvana - that is not true, as I have watched both dramas. Is like saying all love stories are the same, because it involves a couple...Now they are trying to take out this drama and even involve the name of the main male actor in the scandal supposingly regarding the injury of a horse during shooting... While I hope this is not the case, accidents sometimes happen not only yo animals but also with actors and cast members. It is at duch times they need our support, wishing them well recovery and urging them to take better care . We must separate the cases of willfull injuries from regretfull accidents, and stop unfounded malicious rumours.

My wife and I are in love with this drama. So well developed and played. Excellent actors, the story is great and the performances are outstanding. Thanks much for this production.
Loved Zhao Lusi! This is the best fantasy romance cdrama ever from her!
The male lead/yang yang is also good-looking. Both are beautiful & portrays their characters very well! They are so natural together. No awkwardness between them. They are comfortable with each other.
The best romance cdrama ever! The chemistry between the 2 main leads - lan xi & feng Xi is amazing! The built-up romantic relationship between them from the start to finish is awesome!
For once the male lead/lan Xi does not cheat, lie or betray her/feng Xi.
They don't lie to each other in the excuse of protecting the other BS. No breaking up & making up. Just pure friendship turns into a relationship.
They actually cooperate with each other to solve matter at hand.
Despite all the lies, deceit & betrayal from other characters like Baili the witch in disguise, in most c & k drama in sub-plot. Baili is not only evil but also despicable! Got tired llooking at her scenes!
Immature, temperamental & childish Langhua!
But here the 2 leads attraction & interaction pulls you & put a smile on your face at each episode!
The only thing that doesn't ends up - suddenly the first prince can stand & walk, he was in the wheelchair & when did the first & second brothers became good brothers again.
Further it is not shown who is the evil Lady's maid, always hear her voice but not the face. The maid did all the array of evil deeds for the so called former maid empress.
They both display what love is all about & sacrifices for each other!
Truly the best! Worth the watch! They are compatible! They look good together!
The best couple ever in cdrama!
Highly recommended!
This is not a cheap production, no cartoonist, no animation to replace big fight scenes, no special effects from a burning fire, the battle scenes were amazing, the fights scenes are awesome, the wedding scene is so grandeur, no fake kissing.
Could not find anything negative to say about this drama. The best ever!

Unfortunately, this drama suffers from the same problems as most other Chinese dramas. A consistent problem with many Chinese dramas has always been that they would start out extremely well, but nearing the last 1/4 of the drama, bad planning and/or budget issues will result in a massive rush at the end with lots of plot holes and bad pacing. This drama starts out really well. The setup is actually very intriguing - royals who are also extremely skilled martial artists vying to rule the world. The two main leads are well-cast and have great chemistry. Up to around episode 35 or so, the pacing is reasonably good with nice plot twists and good resolution. The kungfu is typical of modern dramas - CGI with lots of bad guys flying without being touched. Sorry, but real kungfu is a lost art and none of these new actors have the discipline to properly learn the techniques (unlike the veterans like Jet Li or Michelle Yeoh).
Things really begin to fall apart in episodes 35-40. Suddenly, the previously all-knowing leads become stupid. The big bad - Yu Wuyuan - was known early in the series. The leads knew that he was plotting "something" early on (apparently the fact that everyone else wanted to rule the world was lost on them). Despite years of knowing this and having the supposedly impressive "Fountain Abode" intelligence network, they basically discovered nothing new about Yu and were outsmarted at every turn in the final few episodes. In the end, their successes were due to plot armor rather than anything else.
All in all, it is a reasonably good drama. You can enjoy the courtship and chemistry and palace intrigue for the first 35 episodes. But I kind of wish Chinese drama makers would end their series properly rather than having "the most outrageous ways and dramatic ways to end a story - plot lines and character arcs be damned" at the end. I can count on a single hand the number of Chinese dramas that ended in a logical, well-planned and well-executed manner (e.g., Nirvana in Fire).

This series is well made, effects are impeccable and feels quality, even the fight choreography and photography/scenery.
This show had an awesome start, all the way to the middle.
Epic backstory , compelling storylines, and amazing fights scenes.
But then it got weaker and weaker to the point it stopped being as interesting.
There's a lot of very interesting plots that aren't taken advantage in depth, quickly solved and not detailed enough or even forgotten and never resolved.
The ending feels rushed and is not satisfying enough.
The female lead character being so unconventional, super strong and independent, quirky and extremely smart and made me very engaged from the beginning but that was eventually disappearing and she felt a conventional supportive character for the last part of the show.
The chemistry between the main couple was great at the beginning they had many funny scenes together and It was also refreshing to see such a healthy and balanced relationship but this scenes disappear and the chemistry and dialogues get weaker and repetitive from the middle onwards.
I love how lately Zhao Lusi has picked such non stereotypical and feminist roles. She can really transform while she is acting and her performances are brilliant such raw talent from such young actress.
Yang Yang is picking great roles lately too but He is very much acting the same way just with different roles and if it wasn't for his great counterparts the dramas would become bland.
I honestly found You are my glory or The Long Ballad way better but Maybe I was expecting more from this although it has pretty good moments.
Still nice entertaining watch, give it a go.

Best acting , best chemistry from two lead , entertaining drama ,best historical drama in 2022.its long long time i don't enjoy dramas impatiently, always waiting for the next episode, very curious he..he..he..
although at the end of the episode, the plot was rushed, but I was still able to accept and enjoy WRTW. After the drama is over it's hard to make me watch another drama..it might take some time.

What makes this drama different from the other martial art series is the chemistry between the main leads has been established from beginning. They already have strong reputation as smart and powerful couple. The story is focusing on how they work together using their skills to the issues around the martial world and politics among the kingdoms, so there are very minimum cheesy romantic conflict or the plot where main character suddenly found super powerful skill. As for the antagonists, they are antagonistic but not overly evil. Minus 1 star as I feel the ending is quite anti-climatic. I wish there are more series like this.
2021 Chinese drama that explores the dynamics of power, politics, and family in modern-day China. The drama tells the story of a powerful family, the Gu family, who own a successful business and have immense influence in the world of politics and finance.
The drama explores the struggles and challenges that come with being part of a wealthy and powerful family, including the pressure to conform, the temptation of corruption, and the burden of responsibility. It also touches upon themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the importance of standing up for what is right.
The drama also features stunning cinematography, with beautiful shots of Shanghai's skyline and the opulent lifestyle of the Gu family.
Overall, "Who Rules the World" is a well-crafted drama that offers an intriguing look into the world of power, politics, and wealth in modern-day China. The strong performances, engaging storyline, and insightful commentary on Chinese society make it a must-watch.

Love the interactions of the main characters. Cute story line. Love it.

I'm a US person that watches and has seen way too many shows and movies. Tons of not subtitled and subtitled. Forget even the fact this is Asian or Chinese. This is some of the best plot and acting there is. Plus really good sets and action. I don't even know how to describe how much I like this show, so will just say I'd be super interested to hear anyones argument that it doesn't deserve an IMDb 10/10.

Yangyang and lusi have the best chemistry
Perfect prince and princess
I have watched this many times
Yangyan so handsome
Hope for season 2. Included in Top 10 in netflix for many months and 3 billion views and counting.
I can't get over this drama. I'm like a kid watching Frozen over and over and adults never understood why.
I've been watching this on the 4th round now, jumping onto fight scenes, and Hei FengXi and Bai FengXi scenes, with their chemistry unceasing. At first I'm taken aback, as not used to watching unrealistic fight scenes, where actors fly, and could even turn around while flying!
But oh well, this is a fantasy drama so anything goes. Now I appreciate the form, length, that goes into each sequence, like a beautiful dance art.
As for Hei-Bai FengXi or Feng Lanxi/Feng Xiyun, I never get tired watching them when they are on a frame together, whether they are fighting, plotting, deliberating, reasoning, or confessing love. All the other actors are apt for their role. The costumes well depict a historical era that makes me appreciate silk, long ponytails, and perhaps even want to learn Mandarin language. Wonderful storylines, that carry depth, wit, and humor. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
