Wuxia drama First Sword of Wudang with Chai Bi Yun and Yu Le Yi finally airing after completion in 2017

Wu Dang Yi Jian or First Sword of Wudang (武当一剑) with Chai Bi Yun and Yu Le Yi. This one has been waiting to air since 2017. It’s adapted from the novel written by Liang Yu Sheng, who also wrote The Bride with White Hair, The Patriotic Knights, and Seven Swordsmen, among many other. The production team needs some incredible credits for filming at most of the locations in the novel, including the Wudang Mountains and Shennongjia (in Hubei), and A’ershan Forest National Park (in Inner Mongolia). The story takes place during the Ming Dynasty and follows our hero’s journey in learning martial arts, finding the truth behind his parents’ deaths, and becoming a true master in Wudang practices while upholding justice.

Airing 4/13~

    WOOHOO… NEW WUXIA!!!

    The trailer reminds me to LOCH 2017, is this helmed by the same director? Sadly, still with slow-mo fighting scenes too many to my liking, but overall it does give me the wuxia vibe. Also, while I’m not familiar with Liang Yusheng’s books, I’m excited to check this adaptation!
