Description:

The Legend and the Hero is a splendid fantasy period drama that re-imagines a famous Chinese classical novel. This exciting retelling introduces a unique twist to the traditional folklore. Emperor Zhou, played by Steve Ma, is not a tyrant, and the gorgeous Da Ji, portrayed by Fan Bingbing, is not a wicked concubine. Instead, she seduces the Emperor only to fulfill a mission assigned by a heavenly god. Trouble begins when Emperor Zhou falls deeply in love with Da Ji, even threatening to attack her hometown to secure her as his concubine. However, dark forces soon take control as the mortal King becomes possessed by a Demon. To restore peace, a benevolent Heavenly Goddess recruits a powerful group of both mortals and immortals. Together, they wage a spectacular war of good versus evil. Packed with stunning special effects and intense battle sequences, this series offers an epic blend of history and fantasy.
