The Feel Good Part

The script was well written, adding some humorous and romantic elements. The plot of Legends of Fei is unique as it focuses more on martial arts from a female point of view. The character of the female lead is quite determined and morally strong. As it was an action-based drama, there were some great action sequences, most of which had a strong female lead.
The Disappointing Part
This play has various problematic elements, like the editing section. In some episodes, due to poor editing and camera skills, it lost the interest of many viewers. The cast did a good job portraying the characters, but there was no chemistry between them. The show seemed quite intriguing initially but later got monotonous and eventually lost the flow. Since it was a Wuxia drama, audiences believed it fell short as the plot ran too long.
