Whispers Of Fate (水龙吟) is a fantasy Chinese drama with xianxia elements which is where Luo Yun Xi tends to shine best. So, I'm pretty sure his fans are waiting for this drama with much anticipation. I was also looking forward to watching this one although this is my fifth costume drama in a row. There are just too many dramas with ancient settings recently.

I have to say that the expectation is not far off the mark but it also doesn't necessarily mean that the whole plot is superb. There are some things that are not so ingenious after all and it … [Read more...] about The Ingenious One Review
