*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)
Title : Who Rules The World – 2022 (Complete 40 Episode)
Personal Rating : 9/10

My first drama of Zhao Lusi.. since then I love her even more..

Feng Lan Xi (Played by Yang Yang) is handsome, sickly second price of Yongzhou (pretends to be sick) and one of the famous “Four Gentleman”. He has a hidden identity name Hei Fengxi who is handsome, elegant, smart, and head of Fountain of Abode.
Feng Xiyun (Played by Zhao Lusi) is the only princess of Qingzhou and first love of Feng Lan Xi. She has also a hidden identity name Bai Fengxi. She is unrestrained, Disciple of Tian Shuang Sect and known to have an unparalleled beauty & martial art skill in martial world.

Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi are known to the martial arts world by the Hei-Bai Fengxi. "Hei" and "Bai" as in black and white, they are also like light and shadow who are inseparable. They are the greatest rivals and best companions.

The story is all about politics. Literally like who will rule the world or who will be the head of the Da Dong Empire. It starts from the news that the Imperial Token is lost and whoever obtains it, can claim to be the next emperor. In the martial world, an ancient evil sect thought defeated, resurfaces after a century bringing destruction to the kingdoms and the people. Then it’s all chaos afterwards. hahaha.. as Hei-Bai Fengxi are known in the martial world, they join hands, seeking justice and restoring calm to the chaos world. Of course, opposites attract and while they’re doing all they can to bring peace, they end up falling in love with each other too. (but I think Hei Fengxi fell first).

Overall, WRTW is one of the best Wuxia dramas for me. I like how Hei Feng Xi and Bai Feng Xi are equally created. They are both strong, they can save each other, and they keep that throughout the show. I love the romance part too. It was so pure and mature. There are no immature outbursts or jealousy. They are portrayed as partners / companion/ best friends than lovers. I watched this drama more three times. And for me it’s a happy ending.

GENRE – Costume, Romantic, Comedy, Wuxia, Politics

CAST – Yang Yang , Zhao Lusi

This drama was pretty good, one of my first Chinese drama. I love both the leads and that have good chemistry. The relationship between the leads was amazing. No misunderstanding, trusting each other and working together + healthy relationship. The story was also great and kept me interested. I also think the fight scenes were not bad. I would have like to see more of the second couple.

Yes it’s was a happy ending and they will live happily together, but I was a bit disappointed that they both « abandoned » their country. Both their families, parents died and they ascended the throne, but they both just left. Maybe it’s just me but I kind of did not like that🤷‍♀️

The essence of good Chinese dramas - must watch if you are new to Chinese dramas

Excellent cast, amazing on-screen chemistry between the leads, beautiful costumes, lovely ending theme song - pretty much sum up the drama. The story is especially interesting if you are new to Chinese dramas. But if you watch a lot of Chinese dramas like me, you might find some elements in the drama are more of the same.

This is the first drama I watched lead by Yang Yang and I am VERY impressed by his acting. He is one of the very few Chinese actors with slitty eyes, who is very handsome. If you have noticed, most Chinese actors and actresses tend to have very big eyes, with the exception of a few like Deng Lun.

The story started from Bai Feng Xi and Hei Feng Xi, two well-known celebrities in the martial arts world, being at loggerheads with each other. Their rivalry was interesting and amusing to watch. One day, Bai rescued Hei from nearly drowning in the river and discovered he came from a complicated family. Her sympathy for him changed her attitude towards him and romance started to blossom. You can indulge in the romantic scenes.

The drama has a lot of feel-good factors as the good and righteous always win, even when placed in a very disadvantaged situations and might at time be badly hurt. The evil and underhanded always eventually get punished. The drama at parts reminds me of Royal Nirvana where the crowned prince was always punished and hurt and eventually committed suicide in the sequel, But this drama was quite different. Feng LanXi was too clever and smart for his rival brother.

However, the story did not end as well as I wish it would. Although I would not call it a tragedy, I think it is a poor compromise. Chinese dramas do have a lot to work on regarding its ending. Time to change the approach that the righteous and capable eventually retire early - if they do, they place the evil and less capable in power. Although in this drama, the alternative to the throne was also capable and righteous, he was obviously less capable. Some dramas try to come up with clever endings but often end up with lousy ones instead.

In spite of some of my negative comments about the story, I would still recommend this drama.

costume: 8.5
cast; 9
music: 8.5
Story: 8.5

Based on the average I would rate this drama around an 8, (8.6) to be more specific).

This drama has been a hit for me because it's been a while since I've seen a good martial arts fantasy drama. I like the acting very much, with both leads having their looks and acting skills. Yang Yang never fails me with his dramas and I've been looking forward to this one. Zhao Lusi I was a bit concerned that she wouldn't be able to bring out the martial arts heroine but to my surprise, she did an amazing job bringing out Bai Fengxi.

The costume was good, especially the plain robes of both Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi in the martial world. I also like the difference in their clothing when they switched from being in the martial arts world vs. their political court affairs.

Song Unpallared, at the beginning of the intro, had a good beat for a martial arts show like this.

The storyline was catchy in my opinion and had my attention. Though there was a lot of politics there was also a lot of action which is what I'd like to see. There were also times when a few romance scenes popped up making me want to ship, their ship name basically "Hei Feng Bai Xi" even more. The last few episodes leading up to the ending seemed a bit rushed and there were just too many things happening but I did like how the beginning episodes from 1-10 led me in. From my perspective, I didn't really like the ending for some reason. I don't really know why.

Very good chemistry between Zhao Lusi and Yang Yang

I watched this because of Zhao Lusi, and I ended up liking the chemistry between Lusi and Yang Yang. Lusi is very good at building chemistry with whoever her partner is.

Characte-wise, both of them (Hei Fengxi/Feng Lanxi & Bai Fengxi/Feng Xiyun) are great characters. They are smart, ambitious, good at playing tricks, and their martial arts are also at a high level. The supporting cast also has their own good characters and suits their respective roles. Their acting is also amazing, especially the senior actor who plays the role of King Yongzhou.

Yang Yang's role as Feng Lanxi made a deep impression on me. I really liked him as the Prince. He truly is an example of the ideal Prince apart from his handsome face.

Production-wise, I actually don't have many problems with their production. The only thing that bothered me was during the action scenes, Yang Yang and Lusi's faces are rarely seen clearly on camera, but I can understand, maybe because in some scenes they use stuntmen.

Then if you ask my opinion about the last episode, I can only answer honestly that I wasn't satisfied. You can watch it yourself, and judge for yourself whether the ending of their story can be called a happy ending or not.

An Excellent Wuxia Prince and Princess Story

I was greatly entertained.
A great story with skilled actors/actresses.
So many times I held my breath as I wondered how the the perfectly-matched pair was going to solve their crisis.
The series has entailed some good amount of history, politics, wuxia world, intelligence network, patriotism, wars, spying, betrayal, kingship, and stress of humanity.

Things are not always what they seem .
One of the 4 fine gentleman Mr. Yu is not who you see or think he is.
His urge for peace turns out to be the false-face for the urge to rule the world.
He did it in a rather cruel way, but close to perfection eluding FenLanxi's intel network.

An unexpected ending - but it's a good ending.
Hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did.

Another Historical CDrama to be added in your Must See!

OMG! I just finished watching the last episode! Haha I cannot say that I'm satisfied with the ending coz I kind of wanted them to at least have a child or for at least Bai Fengxi to get pregnant at the end but overall ending is a happy ending and I'm glad that they got their happy endings.

This was one of the many C-Dramas that I was looking forward to in 2022 because both Yang Yang and Zhou Lusi are one of my favorite Chinese Actors and Actresses. Also, the story line for this drama had Martial Arts in it so what more can I asked for?

I had wanted to wait for the drama to finish before watching but I couldn't hold off any longer. I ended up watching it and well, the rest was history. The drama had me hooked and grabbing onto my seat because the drama was just that exciting!

Who Rules The World brought about a refreshing feel to its viewers. It had the typical Romance, Martial Arts, and other things anyone would find in other Historical Chinese drama but it also had its own unique spin on things like the double identities of both the ML and FL, which I must say was portrayed excellently by both Yang Yang and Zhou Lusi. It also embodied several positive messages which the viewers of today can definitely relate to and look to for guidance or advice.

It is a story about love, friendship, sacrifice and ambitions. It showcased the talents of all its cast and how they portrayed their own characters did not disappoint.

I encourage everyone to watch this amazing Cdrama and let me tell you, anyone who watches it will definitely not be disappointed with how story unfolds.

Expected a romance but got fight scenes and politics instead

From the first lines, an OTP was already established. Wherever Bai Fengxi is, Hei Fengxi will surely be there too. Just based on this you know we have a strong FL and that the ML is the one who's more invested/in love. Throughout the drama, I sometimes felt like FL can live her life just fine without the ML but he couldn't stay away from her and will most likely just die without her.

There are two social orders in the drama: martial arts world and real world. For us, this is like showbusiness and real life. In the martial arts world, people can take up aliases and just care about fighting skills while in the real world, people care about genealogy and wealth. Bai (white) Fengxi and Hei (black) Fengxi are the chosen aliases of the leads. Their martial arts skills are evenly matched with a rivalry going for 10 years. BFX seems to be carefree and seems to like the martial arts world more because she doesn't really care about positions. HFX seems to be secretive and always tries to solidify his position in the real world.

For most of the drama, you can see HFX trying to outwit people who wants him to relinquish his position and BFX trying to help her martial arts sect. There were banters, romantic scenes and even emotional scenes that showcase just how much of an OTP our leads were but this was overshadowed by action scenes and secret scheming scenes.

This is not to say that I didn't like the drama because I did. I liked that even though other characters seemed to be interested in BFX as a woman or HFX as a man, those did not progress to full blown love triangles and they only had eyes for each other. The OTP banters were funny sometimes especially the scene when BFX said 'did you just yell at me?' and HFX became speechless, lol. The battle scenes and people flying in the air were great too. This was the first drama where I saw Zhao Lusi doing such great action scenes. Maybe it was just that I was expecting a melty romance with lots of kisses but got political intrigues instead.
