I am going to make a confession……… This drama was not even a far away glimpse on my drama anticipation radar. That is until I watched the official trailer. Holy heck that is one badass trailer and even if they are putting all the best scenes in it to suck in viewers….. well, it worked.
SYNOPSIS:
The story follows the brotherhood of a imprisoned half-human half-spirit prince, an abandoned son of a general, and the heir of a slaughtered tribe as they uncover the secrets of their past and seek both revenge and justice for the ones they love.
I especially am impressed with the action sequences. It really does seem like they have been upping the quality of Chinese dramas lately and this doesn’t seem like you usual Wuxia power ranger style fighting. Not that I don’t watch those as well, but I do appreciate a well-done stabbing now and then. I have not been able to find an airing date yet, so if you are reading this and know more than I, please share.
TRAILER:
Well OMG I’m so gonna watch THIS – love this kind of stuff and this looks AWESOME!!!!! That one guy looks a LOT like Jung Il Woo, BTW….
Ok, I was skeptical coz I usually have no interest in Chinese period shows that feature fantasy elements like magic and goblins and such, but WOAH. That trailer sure looks interesting! Color me intrigued; I’m gonna keep an eye out for this one! Thanks, Amber! 🙂
Well gosh duh-am! Who isn’t going to watch it after seeing this magnificent trailer! OMG can’t wait! Thanks always fangirls for your excellant recommendations!
aha, its Huang Xuan from Imperial Doctress! I’m not sure I will have forgiven his character enough to watch him this soon lol….he’s good, though. 🙂
When does this start? I want to see it! Those court and battle scenes were totally up my alley.
Should be in the next few months but still no official start date. I am impatiently wait for this one and Ice Fantasy. I will probably write a post for both of these dramas as soon as they start.
But I needed it now. 🙁
That trailer is giving me life. Lol. So on this the minute it starts airing.
They’re actually still in the process of filming – today’s their 104th day, and they hope to finish in May. With 50 episodes and all the CGI, I doubt this will air any earlier than December. Super excited for the longer trailer that will supposedly be out in less than two weeks. 🙂
Thanks for the info! I am ok with waiting as long as it is well done. Something to look forward to around Christmas
by the way, new trailer is out, and viki have posted subbed version.

Also there rumors that this show have been brought by Hunan TV, and will be airing in Dec. Hopefully, Hunan “scissorhands” TV will be respectful to the director’s cut.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I have noticed that sometimes Chinese dramas have parts that seem cut out. Crossing fingers they keep it whole as well.
