When Huo Yuan Jia's father and brother are murdered by the villainous Ying Si, Huo Yuan Jia embarks on a quest for vengeance.

First thoughts

🐼:  Vincent Zhao as the legendary Huo Yuan Jia! He needs no introduction as one of the leading martial art expert artistes out there and viewers are in for a treat with stunningly choreographed fight scenes and plot twists aplenty.  At last, a real kung fu drama. Bring it on!
