PRESS PLAY! DON'T HESITATE!

Firstly, I've only recently gotten into the whole wuxia/xianxia genre and this is honestly one of the best i have seen. I've read both the book and watched the live adaptation and can positively say without a doubt that the live adaptation gives you everything you would expect and so much more. From a personal pov, this is the only live adaptation in which i prefer the series instead of the book.

Don't get me wrong - the book is definitely worth the read but, for me, shl provided a much smoother execution of the story line and better character development. firstly, wen kexing's revenge was given a lot more attention from the beginning and the sequence of events leading towards him finally avenging his parents deaths was much smoother than in the book and given more importance. Secondly, the order in which word of honor gave us the details of the past and its effect on the present was carried out way better than in tian ya ke. The bromance between zzs and wkx was the highlight of the show, even with the censorship - the actions, glances, blatant flirting were more than enough to have even the stoniest of hearts swooning in their seats. The OSTs are extremely catchy and are still played on repeat even though i finished shl weeks ago. The actors and actresses did a spectacular job portraying their characters leaving me hooked from the first episode. I'll definitely be rewatching this in the near future.
