Beautifully made drama with eye stopping main character acted by Xiao Zhan and jaw dropping special effects for a TV drama. The calm, gentle, albeit reserved but fun character ShiYing is superbly acted by Xiao Zhan! Just can't move my eyes away from him. He is the essence of xianxia Chinese dramas with his impeccable physique, and empathic acting; he is simply irresistable. He really took the Shakespearean tragedy of the exiled prince to the next level. Unlike those similar charcaters before him, Xiao Zhan's ShiYing is kind and calming to all those around him even though he is strong willed and extremely powerful. He just pulls the audience into the character through the windows of the spike of the characters.
The story of ShiYing is a story of the exiled prince who should have came back for revenge to those who cause the death of his mother and his own exile. But he in turn became the savior, rather than the avenger. To do this, he has to go against his love, a student of his, who is destined to end his life as told by prophesy. The drama is well made with beautiful scenery and wonderful costume design. The resistable Xiao Zhan will be the epiphany of xianxia charcater for many years to come. It's the Chinese drama to watch this summer!
