Recently, the TV drama "Magpie Blade Sect Saga," starring Zhao Benshan and his ensemble cast, has been trending on Tencent Video.
Currently, the series has garnered a rating of 7.8 on Douban, with over 11,000 reviews. Around 35.5% and 35.2% of viewers have respectively awarded it 5 stars and 4 stars. The presence of Zhao Benshan has contributed to its relatively favorable reputation.
Praising audiences comment, "True to the Northeastern flavor," "Hilarious with densely-packed humor," "Impressive, all the gags resonate with the festive spirit." On the other hand, some viewers feel that "Three stars are for Zhao Benshan, who hasn't been seen for a while. However, there are too many flaws in the plot and the apprentices come off as lackluster. The performance style also seems outdated." "It's like digital junk food, a show that goes well with casual viewing," "After watching a few episodes, it seems to be a martial arts story in disguise, lacking a clear main plot, feeling chaotic, and short of comedic highlights."
As known, "Magpie Blade Sect Saga" narrates the story of Ximen Changhai, the head of the Magpie Blade Sect. Determined to eliminate Japanese pirates and join a secret plan against them, Ximen Changhai appoints his chef brother Ximen Chang as the interim sect leader to prevent the plan from leaking. With the changes in the affairs of the sect, a hilarious martial arts tale unfolds.
