I loved watching this show. I highly recommend it to anyone. The only downside was that it had to end. But beauty of this kind is all the more special when it doesn't last. Initially, I was wary of this show: it starts slowly and with a bit of a goofy and childish vibe. However, over time you begin to care for these characters, who have real emotions, real drives and real personalities. The writing of this show is highly commendable, especially when you consider the quality of writing in the majority of shows nowadays. No character is left unexamined and the writers have managed to create a realistic-feeling world for them to inhabit. Many of the concepts are derived from Eastern philosophy, martial arts and traditions boasting a most diverse range of ethnic backgrounds and settings. This is truly a work of art, with an important message, one that has gone a miss in recent years: beware the seduction of power, love conquers all.
