A Journey to Love

I've seen a few Chinese martial arts drama during covid. This is probably the only one I d like to recommend for the following reasons: 1. The story makes sense. Some people love fairy tales but not me. The drama is logically normal and the values it tries to express worth believing.

2. The director is a good story teller. He makes the whole thing comprehensive and smooth.

3. Great actors and beautiful actresses. Their performances are natural and convincing. I love the leading male actor and his fellows.

4. Great martial arts design and awesome scenes. They use very little fake scene. Ep8 is the best to see these amazing fights and real scene.

Finally, I like the comedy conversations happened in the drama, the fallen leave on Ning Yuanzhou's eye when he kisses Ren, the leading female actor.

My advice is to get some peanuts & beers before you start watching cause as long as you start, you don't want to stop .

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.

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.

What an epic drama, so enjoyable and emotional. I never cry with any series and this one got me a couple of times.

The show is incredibly well made and the script its very compelling, with a lot of action, incredible fight scenes, funny moments, loads of teasing and beautiful camaraderie and friendship between all characters. It will hook you from the moment you start watching.

In the second half there's a few slow and draggy episodes but it will speed up in the last few episodes again. They gave us a pretty decent ending in the episode 34 but they added new subplots and twists (very tragic and heartbreaking) after that and everything felt rushed, including the ending.

This is why Im not giving the highest rating.

My favorite part about this drama is how well written and layered all characters are. There's something special about each one of them and you will feel a special connection.

I am absolutely obsessed with all female characters in this. There's ZERO female characters written as doormats in this series. They are fierce and stoppable and they will all play a key role in the story. The development of all of them, and how they grow through the experiences they are living and the people they meet ( specially Princess Yang Ying) is so thrilling to watch.

And the way they all lift each other up, including the male characters, criticizing stereotypical gender roles and regarding women as equal and important as them. Just wow.

This was my first drama of the both main leads and I am a fan. Liu Shi Shi and Liu Yu Ning had such beautiful chemistry.

Greenest flag award for the main male lead's character. Not one toxic thing about him, and made the main love story very enjoyable to see. I found myself showcasing the biggest smiles when they were flirting each other on screen.

Despite its flaws it was an almost perfect drama, with very wholesome relationships of epic love and friendship and incredible character development.

You will laugh, cry, be surprised and feel the deepest sweetest love so many times. Don't miss this one!
