Remarks

[Drama Info]

Directed by Xu Ji Zhou who was behind the 2024 hit cop drama: The Knockout. But what a change in genre to go into high fantasy.

Hou Ming Hao. Busy guy. Back to back xianxias as he starred in the most recent one: Love in the Clouds. And then he's got another drama in 2 days: Cloud Glory. 

Wrapped on July 28, 2024.
