Try the World (2022)

This is not the best historical drama that I have watched. Nothing beats Nirvana In Fire until now in terms of story, plot twists, acting and production. However, this has great entertainment value and I enjoyed it tremendously. Surprisingly, there is very little "boring" parts and I am glued to the screen the entire 40 episodes.

The best part of the drama is the chemistry between Zhao Lu Si and Yang Yang. They are like the perfect couple and I really like their interaction and they are very cute together. Yang Yang is indeed a very handsome and charming actor who can be overly cool but when he smiles, my heart just melts :)

The wuxia/fighting scenes are a lot more in the first half of the drama. The second half is mostly just political stuff, but not too heavy that you can still easily follow and understand the plot. That's why I only gave this drama a 9 because these political plots are too predictable and light for me. I think the strong part of this drama is the romance story between Yang Yang and Zhao Lu Si.

Another strong point is that there is quite a couple of strong female characters, Bai Feng Xi being one of them and Feng Qi Wu. Boy, I like how badass and loyal Feng Qi Wu is. She really is a great character. The other supporting characters are also good, particularly those by Hei Feng Xi's side like Chong LI and the General and his two sons. I enjoyed these supporting characters story a lot too.

Rewatch value is high for me. If I have time and couldn't find anything new that's worth to watch, this would be on the top of my rewatch list as it's entertaining and quite light for a costume drama. The OST is great! There are five songs that I put on my Apple Music playlist that I've been listening to over and over again, especially the two songs that are on the background of Bai-Hei Feng Xi's romantic interaction. I am still listening to these songs (and will still be listening to this song) even after I have finished watching the drama.

2022年最好的中国剧之一。除了剧中的精彩故事外，它还有许多道德价值。

我是杨洋的粉丝，也是赵露思的粉丝。 起初，我想知道为什么评分相对较高。 然后，我试着看它。 看了几集后，发现这个故事让我着迷。 我在两天内完成了 40 集，因为我无法停下来想知道接下来会发生什么。 我会说这是2022年最好的中国剧之一。除了精彩的故事，我们可以从这部剧中学到很多道德价值观。

我学到的一些道德价值观是：
1. 尊重我们的父母
2. 和平是我们生活中必不可少的东西之一。 我们应该寻求和平
3.真正珍惜和保护我们心爱的人
4. 做任何决定前要有耐心

如果其他观众有其他价值观与我们分享，请随时回复我的评论。 我希望它有所帮助。

Intriguing storyline, superb acting

Finally I feel so ecstatic having watched the entire series.
The storyline is captivating even though its filled with scheming, politics and bloodmath at every step. As the storyline navigates through, such intense scenes, it's the little moments between the two charming leads that lightens up the screen .
The chemistry between the leads yang yang and zhao lu is is simply irresistible and as someone mentioned i can't possibly think if anyone else portraying the roles of bai he fengxi better than them .
The costumes, action scenes and background are just spot on.
Definitely a delectable watch as they rule our heart!

strong fl & ml

story awalnya bagus ttg duo rival pendekar dunia silat tapi lama kelamaan terlalu fokus di permasalahan internal kerajaan dan perebutan kekuasaan. villains nya juga sebenarnya gak kuat kuat amat. menurut aku lebih bagus kalo ceritanya fokus di kehidupan dunia silat dibandingkan perebutan kerajaan. or at least konflik internal kerajaan masing2 gausah di bahas sih. jadi nya porsi perkembangan romance nya bisa lebih banyak.
sayang bgt pdhl chemistry dua leadnya bagus. jadi lebih suka pas mereka masih jadi hei-bai fengxi dibanding pas udah jadi pangeran lanxi sm putri xiyun

THE wuxia-romance drama of 2022!

Zhao Lusi and Yang Yang's acting is on point. Their chemistry on the drama is very good. They are both green flag. This drama is very recommended to everyone, new cdrama lover or a certified cdrama fan.

I started this drama because of Zhao Lusi, I just get to know Yang Yang in this drama. This drama really did not disappoint. I can see that Zhao Lusi's acting skills also improved a lot and her fighting scenes are very good. This drama also shows an important lesson that the people's safety is more important and being with the ones you love than power. While everyone is struggling for power, they did not hurt innocent people. They prioritize the people's safety first before going in war. Ofc, except for the actual schemer behind they're back, he hides his true identity and true intentions and hurt many innocent people. I love the fact that Hei fengxi/ Feng Lanxi and Bai Fenxi/ Feng Xiyun sacrificed too much even they're lives to protect each other.

The fact that's bothering me is that feng Lanxi only has 10 yrs left to live because he saved BFX through Old Tianji. Also I don't know why but I really wished they had children together lol.

But overall I liked the drama, it's not a cliché drama. This drama also has pros and cons like the other cdramas but you'll really love it if you watch this.

FYI: I cried out of happiness when they got married lol😭

encore un sad ending

Dommage c'était parfait, mais ils ne peuvent pas s'empêcher de faire des fins tristes...

J'ai aimé :
Les acteurs, superbes, avec Zhao Lu Si et Yang Yang en maître de cérémonie !
La production est énorme, les lieux de tournages très jolis, les costumes et bijoux sont top.
L'histoire est très "coup fourré sur coup fourré" dans la première partie et plus grands combats bien réalisés dans la deuxième partie.
Une trèsbelle romance

Je n'ai pas aimé
Subitement tout le monde devient stupide à l'épisode 27 !
La fin, ultra triste, il ne lui reste que 10 ans à vivre ils n'ont pas d'enfants (malgré déjà 5 ans de mariage) et s'ils en ont il ne les verra pas grandir, c'est affreux de vivre avec un compteur dans la tête. Sans la fin j'aurais mis 10.

Good drama

Who rules the world is a great drama. Great action and a it will keep wanting to watch more. I waited a long time to watch it and it was worth the wait. A great story and good songs. This was a good year for Yang Yang with two good dramas. It's a great action packed and good fighting scenes. Yang Yang and Zhao Lu si make a good pair and have good chemistry together. Zhao Lu si is beautiful. The acting of Yang Yang improves all the time.
I already watched 20 episodes in 3 days.
It's a good drama and not a total wuxia drama. It's got a lot political plot to it.

Power Couple

Really enjoyed this. It had capable main leads and a lot of political intrigue.
The chemistry was pretty good (it could've been better, hence the minus 0.5), both are excellent actors, Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi.
This was the first Cdrama I ever watched. Not too romantic, but still puts a smile on your face,
I found this quite entertaining.
Also, the OST was awesome.
Hope you enjoy!

Update:
This is me a year later (a much more seasoned watcher as you can see from my other reviews). This drama, compared to the many other dramas I've watched, is extraordinary. Also, we don't have a stereotypical damsel in distress who needs a strong man to save her; we have the definition of a power couple, both are rivals (but then work together), so they both have brains and martial arts skills.

Please watch!!!

CHU WANNING COME HOME

I am writing this review as a reminder not to go back to this show...

The only reason I want to finish this show is because Yang Yang is so good-looking; he is just a very handsome guy and he does the best with what he is given, but honestly, even that can't save this drama.

I started this drama at the beginning of the summer and watched maybe 4 episodes and stopped for a week. This cycle continued on from stopping watching it for days and then those turned into weeks of not watching it. Perhaps that is why I am so lost with this drama.

Chemistry:
It is mainly just politics and some fighting. There is very little romance. On average I would say that the FL and ML flirt for 5 minutes an episode, but that is just not enough for me to continue watching it. I started this drama because I found the ML in the poster to be very attractive. I was right; he is very attractive, but he just isn't in this drama enough for me to continue watching. The chemistry between them isn't anything outstanding, but it isn't bad. It just isn't so engaging. I mean there have been no scenes so between the FL and ML that have stood out for me and left me remembering it. As far as I know, they start off the drama already knowing each other, have somewhat of a rivalry, but not really, and then they just like each other. Nothing too significant happens to them for them to all of a sudden fall in love. That would be okay, but I am halfway done with the drama, and they as a couple have left little to no impact on me.

Story:
I can't tell you much about the story. The drama has me pretty lost. I get the gist of what is going on, but in order to stay fully engaged, you have to know more than just the surface level of the story. There are a lot of side characters and politics going on and it gets very confusing. Honestly, the politics part for me was pretty boring, this is probably why I got lost because I simply did not care about what was going on within the world. This show kind of just assumes that the audience read the book it's based on or did some research beforehand because it just throws you into the middle of the politics they have and it just is so confusing.

I have been trying to make this drama into something that it is not in my head, and that would be a good drama, but it's just not that amazing. I really wanted to enjoy this drama, but it just isn't for me.

To be honest, I have been trying to find a drama that fills the void that The Untamed left me, but so far the Chinese Drama industry, in general, has left me pretty disappointed. Nothing outstanding has come out since, nothing that I have watched at least. The C-ent just keeps producing the same sorts of boring romance dramas with the same types of character tropes and storylines. I am not only dissapointed but deeply frustrated and saddened by this.

If only a drama could be released that would reach into the deepest part of my heart and truly make me feel alive. If only there were a drama with a very edgy storyline; a drama that does the main source of it justice and tells the story in the most touching way. If only there were a drama that could be released with the perfect casting, perfect setting, and perfect soundtrack to boot. With actors who were born to play the role that they were cast in, giving the performance of their life thus far. Imagine a drama with the most beautiful leads, those who showed true real chemistry and spark between them; leads that would leave us with scenes that we could never forget and would never want to forget. If only a drama could be released that tells the tale of love and hate and the misunderstanding between the two of those, and then later on what happens once you resolve that misunderstanding and get to fully embrace the love that you share with your loved one. A story about a love so strong that it transcends lifetimes, crosses universes, and outways immortality.

To be more specific... we need a story that tells of a husky who is the young disciple of the most powerful cultivator in the world, a white cat. Due to misunderstandings and general differences, the two have been at odds with each other. The white cat finds himself helpless in the face of the husky's teenage rebellion and the two keep on drawing further apart. Unbeknownst to the white cat in a past life, the husky and the white cat's animosity ended in great bloodshed and misery when the husky turned to dark cultivating techniques. After the past life ends, sixteen-year-old husky wakes up with knowledge regarding the events of that past life. Believing he can change his tragic end this time around, the husky sets out to change the course of events as he knows them but soon finds out things are not as they seemed to him. A story that would explore themes of redemption and morality very well, by exploring the husky's struggle with his darker desires, the guilt of his past life, and his attempts to remedy things during his miraculous second chance.

This review is very subjective, the show is not that bad; if you read this far you will see that I have just been losing my mind waiting for a certain something to be released.
Tencent do better :(

phenomenal

honestly tops more than half the cdramas ive seen. everyone is extremely intelligent (so far) and they don’t make the audience mad with constant dramatic irony.

first of all female lead’s character has some of the best qualities i’ve seen. she has so much common sense and strategies that doesn’t leave the audience disappointed. there aren’t many misunderstandings in the drama that occurs (again, so far). not to mention her past is has such a good build up to the point where she hasn’t even mentioned it, barely a reaction out of her.

the male lead. 1, hes drop dead hotter than the microwaved ramen i ate watching this. he’s so smart. like smart isn’t even enough to describe how brilliant he is. his strategies against those who wanted to take him down was straight up hot if you ask me..

and these two literally fit each other SO well, like sure it’s a cute romance, but i feel like the problems they face make us look pass this cdrama as simply just a romance drama. they both have their priorities, but they’ll always care for each other and i honestly i love that. if this drama ends badly i don’t think i could ever trust another drama :)
