I really enjoyed the drama.. I watched it mostly for Zhou Yi Ran and the action and I wasn’t disappointed.. The fight scenes were definitely the highlight of the show.. I haven’t watched Douluo Continent or the donghua so I can’t judge this adaptation based on them.. However I think it was pretty well done..

I am going to skip commenting on the VFX and CGI since I started this with no expectations.. Honestly it might not have been perfect but it was good.. Some fight scenes were absolutely fluid and intense.. Most people might not feel the same but I liked the Netherworld Arc the most.. The visuals of the drama were great and some of the costumes were beautiful.. " Some "

Xu Jia Qi as Hu Lie Na was really impressive.. The supporting cast was excellent and their chemistry and portrayal of friendship were great.. As for the main couple and the romance.. It was minimal but it was still sweet and the chemistry was alright.. I am hoping for more development in the next part..

The Sea God arc has definitely piqued my curiosity and there is still a war to fight.. I hope the entire cast returns for the next season and I hope there is another season.. We didnt get any closure in this season for sure..

While I can’t compare this to other adaptations The land of warriors had some well written scenes and action sequences and some wonderful visuals.. Certainly worth the watch..
