Yi nian guan shan

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.

The costumes and makeup are exquisite, the plot is reasonable, the rhythm is not draggy, the theme cuts straight to the beginning, and the acting is as smooth as silk. There is intelligence in this drama.

The road ahead is long, the road ahead is long, the swords are shining, the autumn wind is sweeping the leaves. Heroes from all walks of life come hand in hand to exchange safety and danger! The eyebrows are all revealed.

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.

This show is captivating from the very first episode. The costumes and cinematography are excellent. The actors I believe were cast perfectly for their roles and did an amazing job portraying their characters. Also it's a very good looking cast! The acting is top notch. The story is beautifully written.

The action scenes made me catch my breath and cheer. The bromance made me smile. The comedic scenes had me laughing out loud, and the sweet moments made my heart flutter and gave me butterflies. When Ruyi and Chief Ning gaze and smile at each other, it made me smile too! Their chemistry is great!

Their individual stories and character development made me root for them and love them. That's the main reason why these characters had the power to break my heart into tiny little pieces and cry over them.

The ending is not what I expected and I know a lot of people are mad and disappointed. I really wanted a different ending for these lovely characters but I guess the writer had different ideas. Even though the ending didn't go the way I'd hoped, for me, it was still a very good CDrama.

I don't want to spoil anything so this is all I can say, I wanted it to end differently than the way it did, but after everything, the last scene still showed their brotherhood and love for one another is still there.

It is a journey to love because the love and brotherhood didn't end.

That made me like the ending and lessened the sting of the scenes leading up to it.

I highly recommend this series. It's definitely one of my favourites.

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
