This is one of my favorite wuxia series that focused on brotherhood, honor, ambition in the martial arts world. Even if there was romance, it was more of background rather than the main element like those romance costume drama. Most of the fight scenes were great (better than some that rely on visual effects), costume department did great job, except for the wigs that did not look good for some people. The music was awesome, the settings were well created and have plenty of extras to make for convincing large scale fight. The story was really good and though it might deviate from the novel, I still felt it was amazing. The actors/actresses mostly did their job adequately, obviously some better than others. Only thing lacking was the big fights between two important side characters towards the end, but the final few episodes were satisfying. Overall a recommended series for wuxia lovers!
