Who Rules the World (2022) [/]
Dec 20 2023
Who Rules the World is a Chinese historical (maybe fictional historical) romance/drama that ran for forty 40-minute episodes over the course of a month. The setting is the Empire and six kingdoms. As the Imperial family wanes the kingdoms start getting ready for civil war.
Our two protagonists are the heroic martial artists Hei Fengxi (Yang Yang), the Black Fox, and Bai Fengxi (Zhao Lusi), the most beautiful woman in the land. They've been competing for years as to who's the best but they're also kind of secretly in love though neither admits it to themselves.
I like how both Hei and Bai have secret identities and both are royalty but nobody and themselves have figured it out. Nobody has seen Hei and the prince and same for Bai and the princess so without putting on any disguise other than clothing change their ruse has gone on for years.
The historical stuff is pretty good. Lots of period costume and I assume mannerisms and speech patterns. I do like the romance part. The last four or five episodes we get into big battles and lots of Wuxia action and I did find that part a bit boring. Still, it was a really good first 35 or so episodes and of course the last one which wraps up Hei and Bai's story.
