This is a drama with great possibilities that flat lined for the unnecessary use of repetitive dialogue, flashbacks, and an irresolute female lead, Chong Xue Zhi. Although it is a historical romantic wuxia, don’t expect a great romance. The male lead, Shangguan Tou, spent too much time restraining himself from staying close to Chong Xue Zhi with the commonly use of “for her sake/protection” cliché storyline and Chong Xue Zhi, as kind, loving, and understanding of everyone else in the story, could not come to trust the man that she claimed to love. The drama is full of inconsistencies regarding the characters’ martial arts abilities that are plagued with so many weak instances that it becomes very frustrating and an incredible amount of unnecessary tragic deaths. The drama’s name is an allegorical title used as a way to inject this drama with unending dialogue of moralistic teachings that, on the long run, failed to deliver a great drama. The female lead delivers very nice smiles but her eyes seem to lack the ability to show the right emotions. The leading male actor did much better with the character delivery that was expected for this drama. Although it is not a terrible drama, it is not one with high rewatch value.
