The Legend of Jade Sword (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Second adaptation of popular web-novel by writer “I Eat Tomato”. First was released in 2018 in tv-series with Hawick Law. Set during the Xia dynasty, the first ever recorded dynasty in Chinese history. The Infinite God King has murdered all living beings and is sealed by Nuwa. Ji's family is ordered to guard the seal. The descendants of the God King have been seeking to find the Fengshen King. After Ji Yichuan caught the beast for the tribe, he left the Ji clan and went to the peaceful and free fairyland ruins with his junior sister, Wei Chixue, where he met the spirit swordsman Lanzheng Dao. Lan Zhengdao passed on his lifelong cultivation to Ji Yichuan, and revealed the conspiracy of the descendants of the god king before he died. Ji Yichuan understands that only peace in the world can gain true freedom.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
