Fans of C-dramas are going crazy about the conclusion of A Journey to Love since it’s filled with so many pivotal scenes. It follows that a lot of wuxia drama enthusiasts are still talking about the show’s finale online.
Naturally, some viewers could still be curious about what transpired, particularly about the key characters. After all, there are some parts in the finale that are left up for interpretation.
Former Scarlet Guards left emissary Ren Ru Yi, a female assassin, joins Wu’s State’s escort mission to rescue Wu’s King, who is being held captive by the State of An. They develop through life and death and experience love with Ning Yuan Zhou, the head of Wu State’s Six Realms Hall, Yu Shi San, Princess Yang Ying, shrewd teen Yuan Lu, and the imperial guard Qian Zhao.
The 36-year-old actress returns to the historical genre in A Journey to Love, her first film since becoming a mother in 2019. She portrays kickass assassin Ren Ruyi this time. And it appears that she made a wise choice in terms of comebacks.
The character appears to fit her quite well and showcase her acting strengths, according to the audience. Her fighting sequences were expertly and artistically performed, like a well-choreographed dance, thanks to her background in ballet.
Her cool-headed and detached manner complements her cold-blooded spy persona, so don’t expect her to pull off any overly dramatic gestures. Liu Yuning, her co-star on-screen partner, portrays Ning Yuanzhou, the deposed deputy head of Liudao Hall in the Wu kingdom.
We have two equally badass heroes traveling together with their unusual crew, and he is no slouch on the battlefield. In a wuxia genre full of remakes, the script and directing, which are based on an original screenplay, are turning out to be a welcome surprise.
Not to mention, it takes an unusual approach, with the heroine brazenly asking the male lead to donate his “sperm” for her to become pregnant. Before entering show business, Liu Yuning held a variety of employment.
He even had formal training to become a chef. As the lead vocalist of the band Modern Brothers, he first gained popularity via live streaming, which paved the way for him to pursue a career in singing. The actor has gone a long way to be able to hold his own in front of the camera, even from his start as an influencer.
Before A Journey to Love ever aired, there were doubts about Liu Yuning’s masculine lead part. Some people have continued to criticize his images to this day, substituting the face of another actor.
