It’s been a long time coming, but Love and Sword has finally hit screens on 26 February 2025!
After sitting on the shelf since 2022, this wuxia rom-com starring Vengo Gao and Xuan Lu brings a modern-day twist to classic martial arts storytelling.
The plot? Absolute chaos.
A modern woman literally falls into a wuxia world, taking on the identity of a legendary swordsman—except she has zero martial arts skills.
Vengo Gao’s character, a ruthless bounty hunter, steps in to save her repeatedly. Cue teamwork, action, and plenty of comedic moments.
But here’s the thing: the drama feels a bit outdated.
The production quality shows its age, and the voice dubbing? Oof.
Still, if you love the lead actors or enjoy silly, over-the-top plots, this might be worth a watch.
Xuan Lu, who gained fame as Jiang Yanli in The Untamed, finally gets her time to shine as the main lead.
Vengo Gao also makes his mark after years of second-lead roles.
If you’re into wuxia with a splash of comedy, this one’s got your name on it!
