Exciting start for a new drama!!!
This drama started on Dec 26. So far, the characters and the intense storyline do not disappoint. My only concern going forward, will it maintain this level of excitement for forty episodes. The cast is a well chosen group of actors that pull you into drama! I think you will enjoy this drama if you love lots of action,One of the main characters is surrounded in mystery and one wants to keep watching to find out about this mysterious man. He claims that he had no martial skills, but he knows everything about the different martial clans. So far, no clue to this man’s background.

Waste of time, stupid plots I waited for many episodes to say any twists or plots but only stupid love/costum drama. the main character is an arrogant guy with no smartness only some losers tricks and the actors are not skilled.

UNREALISTIC
Anime, unrealistic, inefficient/oversize costumes, overboard visual effect and lighting, focus audience: preteens and teens.Line of story? Lei WuJie (Ao RuiPeng), an aspiring hero encountered the owner of Fallen Snow Villa by destroying his place, owed 500 tails for the damage Xiao Se (Li HongYi) agreed to come with him to XueYue City. They embarked the journey, met masters and hold friendship along the way. Every casts were dressed in elaborate oversize robes and long flowing hairstyles (very inefficient when they're the masters of something and had to showcase their masterpiece) prevented them moving freely and nothing but keeping appearances - to some the oversize robes looked redicolous on them, or a lady wore a mustache.
Seems this is anime style, unrealistic visual effect all over the place with lighting which supposedly superficial (fake) strength . In my opinion, this drama focus-market was to preteens or teens that only grabbing entertainment and imagination without concern of philosophy or literature consideration in the mix. Li HongYi, ep 11, still hasn't done anything to his acting besides fold his hand, flew here and there, judging and knowing everybody. Unknown yet what his character and intention....or his existence being part of the drama. Ao RuiPeng did better here than his previous role in Female Student Arrives at Imperial Collage, his energy and youth radiant more than anyone else. Liu XueYi (Wu Xin/monk) was great with his character...
I hope I have better one to watch..........sigh.

The cast is good and the performances are satisfying.
The direction drove the drama with energy. The scenes are well-crafted, the action scenes well-executed, he managed some exciting scenes, he knew how to use special effects and the editing is not full of mistakes. The scenes of the character Wu Xin are few, even though he is a very interesting character. Despite the direction having chosen a cast in which the age group does not correspond to that of the characters, it did not compromise the drama, but it is clear that in some cases, when the age of the character was mentioned, it was impossible not to remember the age of the actor. Regarding the finalization, it could have a more refined elaboration, but it doesn't compromise, it just got dull.
Few costume changes, but the costumes presented were beautiful.
The sound team wasn't whimsical at all, as the sound level in the action scenes is infinitely higher than in the other scenes. The use of songs to fill the scene, also unregulated. In terms of sound, bad, very bad.
The soundtrack isn't bad.

Some people were disappointed by the ending, but in my opinion it was very fitting. It was obvious what road XS was going take as the show reminds us repeatedly what kind of person he looked up to and what he had always wanted to do with his life. I feel like if he'd chosen differently it would've gone against the entire spirit of the show.

too confusing
too many things going on right from the get-go, with too many characters introduced. no smaller storylines to get you invested in the world and overall character interactions firstCGI/combat is kinda cheesy. It's like 2000s Power Rangers level of practical effects, plus an excessive amount of floaty attacks via wirework. It doesn't have any weight to it. The fights also constantly cut so you don't get the sense the characters are really fighting, it feels like fake camerawork.
The main character Xiao Se kinda doesn't do anything and his secret is revealed already to several characters by like episode 8. No intrigue at all. The Monk character Wu Xin is too prominent in the early episodes, only to disappear after the first arc. The hotheaded main character Lei Wu Jie is already strong and fairly respected so it feels like there's no room for growth.

Not Bad, Just Not Enough
Foremost, I really can't stand this type of costuming in historical settings. But every so often, if the plot and actors do a good enough job, it's something that can be overlooked. It is still cringy though. The long stringy bangs that half of the male actors have and the over-bleached hair colors. I mean, for characters that are supposed to be highly skilled in martial arts, apparently their bangs don't seem to get in the way...However, the characters were pretty charismatic and the plot flow skipped along okay. The action scenes were typically of series with this type of costuming: lots of floating around, actors who try to make the martial arts believable but it's obvious they don't have any real training, and attempts to make up for the lack in martial arts by incorporating heavy CG (of which, some were pretty decent). It's a fantasy setting so there's no high expectations of realism and while the negatives mentioned above are not as bad as some other series, it's still a bit overdone for my personal taste.
Stuck around for 11 episodes mainly for the plot, the charismatic actors, and the nicely incorporated humor. But it was one of series where you can do some chores on the side, miss out on some dialogue, and not feel like you've missed much. It's good enough where I can probably continue to watch to the end but not enough to feel like I have to get to that next episode.

If someone bullies you, it's because they like you
Rated= 5~ 24/50 ~ 4.8RPG Scene // Zombies shambling and falling off Mountain Pass. Dont even need my sword. They walked off themselves.
I tried to like this, I really did but I just couldn't do it. I initially loved it with Wuxin and Xiao but then he left and it started to get really boring with lots of very irritating characters, very fast. And at least by ep 16, they're trying to force a romance with Xiao and the female character trope I absolutely loathe. Pouty princess with a big weapon. She beats you up because she loves you. Just no. That's not a couple destined to be. I don't do tsunderes and I can't imagine a man like Xiao liking it either. I just wanted Wuxin to come back so I googled and was disappointed so I've decided to drop.
Visually, there's a lot of special effects here. Gives me a final fantasy kind of vibe with a headache inducing amount of characters and back stories.
Xiao's face though. I will be watching out for that actor later because damn. I don't mind looking at him a little longer lol currently watching In Blossom with Wuxin's actor and he's pretty fine too with hair LOL honestly, if they do a spin off with just Xiao and Wuxin, I'd be all in but this is just too much for me to sit through 40 hours of my life.

Per chi piace l'avventura, questo drama è spettacolare!
Guardando questo drama, la prima cosa che viene da dire è "Marvel spostati"! Mai visti tanti poteri eccezionali come in questo drama! Una storia di spada e di misticismo, di fratellanza e valori morali. C'è il cattivo di turno, è ovvio, ci sono i traditori, senza i quali il drama non sarebbe cosi coinvolgente.Un cast molto numeroso, locations molto belle, costumi pazzeschi, cosi come il trucco e le ambientazioni.
Gli attori sono stati tutti all'altezza, ognuno ha molto ben caratterizzato il proprio personaggio, dall'enigmatico e ombroso oltre che astutissimo ed intelligente protagonista, il Sesto Principe, al coraggioso e leale Lei Wu Jie, un ragazzo dotato di grande volontà e moltissima simpatia, al filosofico e potente monaco Wu Xin, il quale evidenzia la contraddizione fra l'essere un monaco ma stare a capo di una setta demoniaca.
Per fortuna non ci sono le solite storie d'amore che mettono i bastoni fra le ruote, anche se le accoppiate ci sono, e quella fra Xiao Se, il Sesto Principe e Sikong Qian Luo non è assolutamente convincente. C'è ammirazione da parte di lei, simpatia da parte di lui, tutto lì, insomma di amore qui non se ne vede neanche l'ombra, ma meglio cosi, avrebbe potuto essere di intralcio ad una storia cosi articolata.
MI è piaciuto molto l'Imperatore, eccellente l'attore che lo ha impersonato. Nell'ultima puntata prima di morire, è cosi spontaneo, cosi calato nella parte, che commuove.
Il finale è stato molto soddisfacente, non ha lasciato cose a metà.
Sarebbe stato bello vedere di più Wu Xin, il quale inizialmente, pensavo fosse lui il protagonista.
Non mi sono piaciute le musiche, con voci stridenti e fastidiose.
Un drama che lascia con il sorriso sulle labbra e fa star bene, 40 puntate che sono volate.
Un grandissimo grazie al team di traduttori italiano!
