From what I have read, Sword Snow Stride (雪中悍刀行) is a much anticipated Chinese historical drama for 2021. As such, it is hard to give this a miss. Yet, this drama is not that highly rated on Douban. It is getting less than 6 the last time I checked when I was writing up this review. In other words, it is a pretty average drama for a lot of mainland viewers.

If it is good, it is very … [Read more...] about Legend Of Fei Episode Summary
The Moon Brightens For You Review
It's been a while since I watched a wuxia drama and hence, I was happy when I found out about The Moon Brightens For You (明月曾照江东寒). Although I'm not a great fan of the main leads, I was willing to give this a try to get my fix of martial arts fighting scenes. Suffice to say that this is worth the time but don't expect it to be particularly memorable either. Well, at least for … [Read more...] about The Moon Brightens For You Review
