The story revolves around the bond of two young and
handsome martial arts masters – Zhou Zishu (played by Zhang Zhehan) and Wen
Kexing (played by Gong Jun).
Gong said that Wen is a challenging role to play. “The
most difficult part is showing his capriciousness. He is very emotional, so
there can be many changes in emotion in a single scene. It’s difficult to
switch from being ecstatic in one second to being apoplectic with rage the
next.”
