Dylan aka Xu Qian carried the show!
This show is a lighter version of Joy of Life and Sword Snow Stride mixed together, with a whole lot of laughs, drama and nice fight scenes. It has politics, lessons on cultivation, the justice prevails over all else theme and a bit of romance here and there.
Dylan Wang with his cute family and gang of bronze, silver and Gold Gongs won over my heart. I also like that the underlying theme of the drama is consistent throughout the show, also the writers take on what it truly means to live your life. The part where Xu Qian has to defeat the Heaven sect avatar and when he is stuck in the formation with never-ending cycle of his sad life and stuck in hospital, that part was great, also those were the scenes that I laughed at the most. I'm pretty sure it was Dylan more then Xu Qian character throwing questions at the Heaven sect guy and making him so confused that his Avatar was split in half lol.
Even though the show is focused on Dylan, there were some great side character growth arcs. Xu Qian relationship with his teacher/ master was shown really well, the genuine love between Mr Wei and his naughty disciple and the teacher saving Xu Qian arse everytime the Majesty/King tried to take his head 😆
I did skip some of the romantice bits cause I was way too invested in the part about the mysterious robe guy and Mr Jiang having a fight of their own, and the last reveal!
Episodes 38-40 were really EPIC! Truly broke my heart and made me cry fr! Awesome acting from Dylan, the Gold Gongs and Mr Zheng. As Xu Qian said - he was there to redress the wrong, to serve justice to the fallen people of Chuzong and Mr. Zheng and his family and let the people of Dafeng hear the truth that idiot Emperor was trying to cover up.
Really good cliff hanger and ending to a good series !
Fingers crossed we get a Season 2 soon!!
Rewatch value - 10/10 !
