This is a direct sequel to the drama 《霍元甲》starring Ekin Cheng. To be honest, that was the very first reason why I decided to watch this. But at the end of the day, this is in itself a pretty good drama.

It has its fair share of action (duh), notably impressive martial arts choreography, bits of romance here and there & some mini political exchanges. Sometimes it makes me feel patriotic, hahaha… For some reason or another, its just a feeling. Looking at chen zhen in this drama against his character in huo yuan jia, one can see that he has really matured alot.

Plot-wise, it is quite simple to understand and see. A conflict of interest between mainland china and the japanese in Bei Ping. Then its also interesting to see how the 2 parties involved approach and tackle different problems, and the schemes they put into motion to gain an upper hand over the others. (No offence to modern japs) It is obvious how the japanese are usually the ones using underhanded means to try to attain their goals.

Another cool factor in the show is how a couple of the guys in this show display exemplary faith in what they believe in, and deeply entrenched respect/love for certain people and the distance that they would go for that… And in many cases, heart-wrenching decisions… So its got the oomph that tugs at my heart.

I actually watched this some time ago but didn’t blogged about it until now. So I haven’t had an idea of what I really wanted to say! hahaha… but watch this if you like wushu dramas.
