Amongst the many drama updates included in Tencent’s industry event held today, upcoming wuxia Legend of Fei 有翡 obliged many of its waiting fans with a brand new poster to help assuage some of their restlessness while waiting. Not all posters were created equally however because today’s offering ended up being quite a bit of a fail with the unexpected reception it has received from Netizens.
If you’re familiar with the Eight Immortals from Chinese mythology, Netizens have pointed out the poster’s similarities with the familiar childhood story about the adventures of the Eight immortals Crossing the Sea. I guess it’s the watery blue background and the placement of the Legend of Fei ’s cast (also numbering eight) that gives it that vibe isn’t it?
Meanwhile, there’s also a brand new trailer out where you can see a bit of Zhao Liying’s swordplay, bringing back memories of her Princess Agents days as well as some of Wang Yibo‘s moves. Despite the super short clips from the teaser which leave much to be desired (more please!), I think you’ll enjoy the scenes showing the super subtle flirty interactions between Zhao Liying and Wang Yibo.

What?
What a terrible messy poster, to much background noise! Color is also very bad.

Watched the trailer. Why did they give Yibo a mullet haircut??

I’m probably in the minority but I don’t love his messy fringy hairstyle in this drama. He’s still good-looking of course, just not digging this wig. I prefer his look as LWJ.

The dubbed voices are also too different from the real voices of the actors, it’s very distracting.

@What?
Yes. It’s a very, very terrible poster.

yeah the similarity is uncanny ? but it shouldn’t be a big problem right, majority cdrama posters are similar to each other haha
YMI
That is a terrible poster. But its pretty keeping with old school terrible wusha posters though haha. Anyway, the trailer looks good. I’m really looking forward to Legend of Fei.

A foreshadowing of the equally horrible drama to come

I don’t like wang yibo hairstyle and the poster colour is not beautiful I think she is so older than Wang yibo I don’t like romance between them??????
