Finally something different on screen. The series is a chinese comic (manhua) like story. Sometimes difficult to understand because I am not chinese and do not always have the background, other than having read a handfull of the comics. I was hooked from the start and am half way through the series. Explanation about the artifacts, fruits and herbs were absent in the first few episodes but they started explaining after a while. Although I still think they could do more about it because it would give more feeling how importand and valuable some of the artifacts are. Also the refining proces of the Qi could be more elaborated. Subtitles are only in rapid english on Netflix.
Why I still like the series is because I love the characters, the costumes, the settings, the story and there are some good fighting scenes. It is refeshing and funny. The humor is typical chinese with over the top overacting but it is more spot on than not. Sandrine Pinna plays the master Wang character which she does perfectly with good timing.
