The Journey Of Legend (赴山海) debuted with such high expectations but the overall feedback doesn't seem to match the initial excitement. Hence, I can't help but to watch it myself to find out if it is as bad as some critics have portrayed it to be. Moreover, I really don't mind watching another Cheng Yi drama.
