The story is based on the bestselling 2007 novel Qie Shi Tian Xia (且试天下) aka Let’s Try the World which was written by prolific period-romance novelist, Qing Ling Yue (倾泠月). It revolves around the relationship between two renowned martial artists, Hei Feng Xi and Bai Feng Xi, as they navigate the treacherous world of ancient politics and pugilistic rivalries teeming with characters who are hell bent on ruling the world. WRTW is equal parts traditional wuxia, grandiose palace politics, epic warfare and romantic love that are interwoven seamlessly to create an immersive tapestry of a vivid jianghu that transcends the boundaries of the 7 kingdoms. I’m pleased to say that WRTW has not disappointed and in fact went beyond any initial expectation I may have had going into it. Certain characters in the show even made their way into my list of all-time favourite C-historical characters as well. But you know what? It turned out to be one of the most entertaining dramas I’ve seen for the year. The Legend of Hei Feng-Bai Xi Truth be told, Who Rules The World (WRTW) wasn’t on the top of my list for highly anticipated dramas for 2022.
