This series was supposed to be a big deal in Alex's career, the first season in particular, but I don't think it has stood the test of time. There's just far too much nonsense in the script to take it seriously. The fact that they also paid so much attention on Zhang Sanfeng as a lover and a detective, really lost a lot of points for me. That is not Zhang Sanfeng at all. Nobody who is familiar with his legend and achievements would embrace that sort of depiction. Not Alex's fault, he was only doing what is asked of him. Although it was a fine performance in its own right, blending precocity and naivety to create what he believes was the master in his formative years, I can still never envision him as Zhang Sanfeng with all that fluff slapped on top.
