I’ve automatically associated Jin Yi Wei with guillotines mainly because I’ve seen one too many TV adaptations. Nonetheless, Jin Yi Wei is actually asecret military organization under the command of the Ming Dynasty Emperor. It’s a name that strikes fear due to the power that it wields.
At 68 minutes long, Jin Yi Wei 大明锦衣卫 is a Chinese TV movie starring Ying Hao Ming (The Mystic Nine). His previous works range from the awkwardly cute Ba Ye to the downright despicable Ling Duan, which is a testament to his versatility as an actor.
This time around, he does a complete 180 as he attempts his first leading role as Lu Yi, a hero righteous and unyielding in the face of danger.
