BEST asian drama i watched. I watched almost all popular Kdrama around 100. Nothing come close to the pleasure of watching swordsman. One reasy is HD quality and another is direction. It also has best looking chinese actor and great actress in joe chen. Swordsman is flawless entertaining drama with lots of romance. Normally martial arts drama they just have name sake romance. But this romance is semalessly intertwined. I do not want to say why you should watch...you must watch. I think one of reason i liked because before this i watched prince lan ling and princess pearl . Both are just ok dramas. I never felt draggy watching swordsman. That has to be director role. Director was pretty good to keep 52 episode drama interesting througout. Ending i wanted to be happy but oh well you can't have it all.
