The opening credits for this C-drama, the opening song and the graphics were just… wow! They were so out of this world. It felt like what was about to unfold was something straight out of Game of Thrones. It almost felt like Daenarys and her dragons would fly across the screen. Instead, we are shown other beasts and well, a wolf. A Frostwolf to be exact.

Another GOT moment was that the World of Fantasy started off in a land of ice and from there, the viewers are slowly invited into the Chilan continent. Then the two main characters take the stage.

We have a young thunder wielding hero who is searching for his grandfather as well as chasing his dream to get to the upper echelons of the cultivators. Next to him is his love interest, a water wielding daughter of the chieftain.

Throughout the series, one gets the sense that the hero does have some affection for the lady. However, it is clear that his desire to chase his dream is something he is more passionate about. I believe that this is a good message. Love is very important in our lives. But depending on one’s values, there really is nothing wrong or less noble about chasing your dreams and wanting to fill that void inside you.

To help our hero on his journey are his four good friends. The term friends is used loosely here.

The focus on this friendship was quite a good strategy. Simply because there was zero chemistry between the leads. The young hero, played by Fan ChengCheng (Adam Fan), was portrayed beautifully. This seems to be his first foray into acting but he did pretty well. The weak link was the heroine. As beautiful as she is, her eyes are just dead. There is absolutely no expression in them. If she insists on going down this acting path, perhaps her management team needs to send her off to training. This time, there is no beating around the bush as she is no longer a newbie in acting.

A little bit of research brought to light the fact that the lead actress was the lead actor’s mentor on Idol Producer. This led me to believe that maybe that’s where the disconnect was? That maybe the lead actor just continued to see her as a mentor instead of as a lover? However, this quickly went to the back of the excuse list as FCC was a great actor in this series. As mentioned above, he was not the weak link here.

The story line is simple and is straight to the point. It is not so complicated to watch and is accompanied by really amazing graphics. The producers and crew did so well on that front. Extra claps as well for FCC.
