Yun Tianhe, an orphan, meets Han Lingsha and later Liu Mengli, embarking on a journey to uncover his father's past. They join the Kunlun Qionghua Sect, where they face challenges and work together to protect the demon world and ordinary people. This story is a remake of the 2005 Chinese television series, Chinese Paladin.
It is a relief to know that one doesn't need to watch the other Chinese Paladin series to enjoy this particular adaptation. As the story is based on video games, each series generally offers a self-contained narrative, allowing viewers to engage with and appreciate the individual tales without prior knowledge of the previous installments.
In the adaptation of Chinese Paladin 6 titled "Sword and Fairy," you chose to watch it primarily because of Xu Kai's involvement. Initially, you found the drama enjoyable and intriguing, as it revolves around the main character, Qi, who is mistaken for a demon lord by a cult. This leads to Qi and her sworn brother trying to reclaim their identities amidst a looming disaster caused by a real demon lord.
However, as the series progressed, you started to have doubts and difficulties in accepting certain aspects of the plot. The story shifted between different settings, and the organic development of events seemed less convincing to you. Your preference for more realistic settings and elements might have contributed to these feelings. Overall, the initial appeal of the drama, particularly the performances of Xu Kai and Esther Yu, drew you in, but the inconsistencies and unrealistic aspects eventually made it harder for you to fully immerse yourself in the story.
In this review, the author expresses their thoughts on the Chinese drama adaptation of "Sword and Fairy" (Chinese Paladin 6). They initially found the show intriguing and appreciated the unique setting, costumes, and the dynamic between the main characters, Qi and Jin Zhao. The author enjoyed the performances of Esther Yu and Xu Kai, who played the lead roles.
However, they also mention some drawbacks, such as the lack of development in the main characters' relationship, the inconsistent quality of the production, and the confusing plot. The drama seemed to focus more on side characters and became less engaging as it progressed. Despite these issues, the author acknowledges the show's success in its target demographic and appreciates the lead actors' performances.
In conclusion, the reviewer finds "Sword and Fairy" to be an entertaining drama with a unique setting and strong lead actors, but it falls short in terms of story development and maintaining viewer interest throughout its 36 episodes.
