Honestly coming up with a headline was so hard because there isn’t enough space to convey my thoughts there. So I came up with the very best thing I could think of.
OMG, Wen Kexing. Where do I even start. Gong Jun aka Simon Gong has made me a fan for life with this performance. To say he brought Wen Kexing to life is such an understatement. I have rewatched this so many times and every time he’s on screen my heart sings.
I was completely heartbroken with the death of one of the major characters but i could understand the director’s intention with that, it was still a hard pill to swallow nonetheless.
My favorite scene is when he came to save Zhou ZiShu. He’s entrance was so majestic, it’s leaves me breathless every time I watch it. It give meaning to the song “he came in like a wrecking ball”. And the entrance song was just way too beautiful.
I have watched this scene so many times, I can’t keep count.
Who are you, sir?
“The way he smirked sarcastically at the question was so bad ass”
I’m Wen, Wen Kexing
The Chief of the Ghost valley?
“The best part of this scene was right before he said”
This was supposed to be a secret.
The way he said aiiiii, my heart couldn’t take it.
I don’t know if my love for the series and mostly Wen Kexing has come through with this review but i am completely and irrevocably in love and obsessed with Wen Kexing.
The fight scenes were incredible. The way Wen Kexing calls Zhou Xu was adorable, the Way he says he’s a good guy and he’s philanthropist Wen while plotting evil was genius. Simon embodied everything Wen Kexing was supposed to be and so much more. To say I can’t and won’t move on from this series is such an understatement.
I am a fan for life. I know I raved only about Simon but the Cast and Crew all did such a wonderful job. Congrats to them all.
