The first half pretty much centers around story and character development, while the second half of the drama shines light on the relationship between Zhao Yao and Mo Qing.Īcting/cast: I was very impressed with Bai Lu and Xu Kai’s acting.
A lot of people actually enjoyed the first half more than the second half because they said that Lu Zhao Yao’s character became potentially weaker and the story dragged, but I enjoyed both halves equally. I know the editing needs a lot of improvement, but that’s the least of my concerns. Although most of the story revolves around a more positive and lively theme, but there were also certain scenes that took some tears out of me. I never got bored or skipped any long scenes because they were all very engaging and relevant to the plot.
I thought the plot was very well-paced and consistent that leaves you wanting for more. Story: The Legends is a lighthearted, funny and sweet story that focuses on Lu Zhao Yao, the notorious She-Demon and her journey to fighting against the supposedly “good” and “righteous” sects, as well as her relationship with Li Chen Lan / Mo Qing, the Demon King’s son. This is a very memorable moral to me since a lot of dramas out there generalize the value of these two different beings, but this adds a touch of originality which we may not usually encounter. It teaches a meaningful lesson - that demons don’t have to be “bad” and gods don’t have to be “good”. However, after completing the whole thing, this drama has now officially become one of my favorites of all time. I started watching The Legends with no expectations at all since I was unfamiliar with the whole cast and didn’t do a lot of research on this drama before beginning. But this just happens to be one of those dramas that I couldn’t resist. This review may contain spoilers I usually avoid watching dramas while they are still airing only because I HATE sad endings. ~~ Two versions available: 56 episodes (TV) || 55 episodes (DVD online). ~~ Adapted from the web novel "Zhao Yao" (招摇) by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang (九鹭非香). What will happen when their lives are intervened? Will Zhao Yao be able to regain her body back and become the sect leader again? What is the fate of Qin Zhi Yan, whose body Zhao Yao possessed?

She who is now a spirit, possesses the body of Qin Zhi Yan, a female disciple of the Immortal Sect, and with the help of the newly gained body, she becomes the direct disciple of Mo Qing aka Li Chen Lan with the aim of killing him. She mistakenly believes Li Chen Lan, who is her best ally, is related to the incident after he is revealed to be the demon king’s son.įive years later, Li Chen Lan has taken over the position of the Wanlu sect leader, and Zhao Yao decides to exact revenge. True love, which is uncommonly seen in history, is re-drawn through the drama of our once forgotten history.While attempting to take her predecessor’s Wanjun Sword, Lu Zhao Yao is ambushed by the ten immortal sects and dies.
‘Love’ gets swept away with the waves of time and also gets hurt with biased views in societies, but it also creates a new kind of history by wrestling against adversity and the trials of time. ‘Love’ seems to be the one common denominator across people of all generations and nations. Meet the love even bigger than the history. Get ready to meet Jumong, the hero who opened up the skies of the Old Joseon, which was once ours, by fighting thousands and thousands of armies.
The most surprising time in history has come back 2000 years later, a time when the nation made China fall down to their knees and when we fought other nations without any fear.Īlexander, Genghis Khan, we have the hero who overwhelmed his generation and changed history, Jumong! Up to now we have been used to dramas dealing with the history of kings and knights but now we are about to challenge in creating a drama with the birth of a true hero. Have you ever met such a time?! dares to journey into a time no one has ever gone back to. ‘A time when our nation was the most beautiful’, ‘A time when our nation was the center of the world’. You are about to go back to the time of Goguryeo, a time which was bigger than now. Title: 삼한지-주몽 편 / Jumong – Prince of The Legendīroadcast period: 2006-May-15 to 2007-Mar-06
