As things develop, the strangers in these two different fields of work started to conflict, from mutual rejection to mutual understanding. Through hard work and struggle, they each achieved success and moved towards a better future.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Seven Stone Entertainment is the studio behind Jieyao, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2020, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
