In a case of “no one asked for this”, the remake of Chinese Paladin basically the C-drama based on the first game in the Sword and Fairy game series is coming out April 2nd so Tuesday. In a year where two other Sword and Fairy dramas have premiered to middling reception, namely Sword and Fairy based on the 4th game with Ju Jing Yi and Chen Zhe Yuan and Sword and Fairy 6 based on the 6th game with Xu Kai and Yu Shu Xin, one wonders why drop this one now and not let a bit more time pass with the Sword and Fairy stories. The first game was made into the hit C-drama starring Hu Ge and Crystal Liu way back when and the exact same story is now being adapted into Sword and Fairy the drama with fresh-faced leads He Yu and Yang Yu Tong. I feel checking this out will be due to curiosity, nostalgia, or nothing else to do, but contrary to my earlier meh when it was announced I’m a smidge more interested as male lead He Yu is really engaging my fancy playing derpy twink heavenly prince Fu Rong in The Legend of Shen Li and he’s just fantastic with the animated acting and making an annoying character rather entertaining.
