Wallace Huo and Yuan Shan Shan are chummy for HERS

This photo is mean. Like Wallace and Shan Shan are having popcorn while watching love-fooled DFBB risk her life.

If you must know of my opinion on The Swordsman 2013, I’ll be honest: I’m terribly disappointed.

Joe Chen Qiao En is a stunner in this series (when she’s dressed as a woman), and is probably going to overshadow the other ladies surrounding Wallace Huo‘s Ling Hu Chong.
