This poll might look a little familiar.... Due to a timing mix-up yesterday, I am proud to present the 'Best Non-Sword Weapon' poll take 2: Electric Boogaloo!

This time I've chosen to group the options by weapon with wielders in brackets*. Due to space issues, the media that each of them come from is under the read more, and this is definitely a non-exhaustive list!

*Except Xie Lian, who by virtue of winning the previous poll has been brought straight through to part two!

Thank you to everyone from the NiF discord and the watch party discord (and especially @shadaras) who have been amazing at suggesting characters with non-sword weapons! Couldn't have have done it without you! Also thank you to @thebansacredbanned who looked up the names of various obscure characters for me.

Propaganda, examples, and write-ins absolutely welcome!

My review of Ancient Detective / 侠探简不知

Jian Buzhi is a detective who embarks on a journey through the martial arts world to uncover the truth about his father’s death. He meets Zhao Wohuan, a brave but slightly airheaded bladesman, and Zhan Shiqi, a trained assassin who hides a pure heart beneath her cold exterior. They become a found family, later joined by others like the shapeshifter Ye Xiao Xiao and the clever doctress Gong Que.

These days, it’s hard for a wuxia fan like me to find a new drama that does the wuxia genre right. Not many are made anymore, and the few that do get made have mostly been disappointments. We’ve been plagued with bad fight scenes, unsuitable acting, messy writing, and stories that that are labelled “wuxia” but end up mostly being fantasy or political intrigue or idol romances.

But Ancient Detective has been the exception. It’s genuinely such an underrated gem! It has all the things you look for in a classic wuxia drama, while also keeping it modern with faster pacing and more realistic visual effects.

The action scenes were done really well. Every character has their own style of fighting and every fight scene tells a story. The horse-riding scenes look fantastic too.

It has all the tropes I love in wuxia dramas: the hero’s journey, brotherhood, doomed love, poisons and antidotes, nefarious sects, protagonists living in the aftermath of the previous generation’s mistakes, eccentric heroes, cool villains, mysterious in-betweeners, and more!

The mystery element is also well-integrated into the story. As a detective, Jian Buzhi stumbles across a series of mysteries. Each mystery arises specifically in the context of the martial arts world and ties directly into Jian Buzhi’s journey. If I had to criticize one thing about this drama, I would say that I found the second mystery subplot (when they arrive on the island) to be less interesting than the rest of the story.

The cast was full of actors that I had never heard of before, but they truly did an excellent job. Each character is bold and memorable, with their own eccentricities and demeanors. They bring well-timed humour in light moments and convincing emotion in dark moments.

I want to take a moment to mention that Wang Ruoshan (who played Zhan Shiqi, the female lead) was really phenomenal in this drama. She has a kind of epic demeanor that you rarely see in actresses her age. She brought out both the cold poise of a trained assassin and the vulnerability of an exploited young woman.

Basically, if you’re a fan of the wuxia genre, I think this is a must-watch. They just don’t make dramas like this anymore, so I was thrilled to discover Ancient Detective. If you’re new to wuxia and curious, I also think this is a great starting point because it’s by far the best recent take on a genre that many of us grew up loving.

sometimes a family is a war criminal turned detective with amnesia, the son of a dishonorable “hero,” an ex-assassin on the run, an immortal shapeshifter pretending to be a doctor, a real doctor who loves money and her silkworms, a spy dedicated to her job but catching feelings, and a historian who appears in random trees with his notebook

female protagonists: I’m not like other girls.

Zhan Shiqi: I was no different from the rest of them.

Himbo of my life zhao wohuan just announcing all of his fight moves before he does them

jian buzhi literally not paying attention to anything that’s going on in favor of feeling a zombie’s tits

Gay fan ghost man

A dude just being like “whoever fights the best gets my house no I do not care about all of the disciples who live there”

zhao wohuan’s giant fuck off sword

Everyone is unhinged

The Black Lady: wonder why they call me the black lady??? it’s NOT because I’m dressed in all black 😡😡😡

Zhan shiqi: I was attacked by wolves

Jian buzhi: no the fuck u weren’t

Zhan shiqi: ok well mind ur business

jian buzhi: *sees death threats written on a wall in blood* hmm that’s not great :/

Two dudes try to kill jian buzhi for no reason and then gay fan man kills them

zhao woluan falling in love with jian buzhi within five (5) seconds of him opening his mouth

*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

ancient detective 侠探简不知: episode 01 » Zhan Shiqi

[changyang-cloud]

Kinda wack that the most romantic scene in the whole show for the main couple is in episode three when they aren’t even together??

[timotey]

I knew that there was going to be a "divorce" between Jian Buzhi & Zhao Wohuan and I wondered what it was going to be about since they were all buddies with no big fights and whatnot, Zhao Wohuan was happy as a clam just following Jian Buzhi around and keeping him safe so...

I should've known that it would be about Jian Buzhi's health! D'uh! Because Jian Buzhi is pretty much a dead man walking, poisoned twice. Yet he was still all, "I don't care I'm dying, I beed to save Zhan Shiqi!" to which Zhao Wohuan responded with his usual bluntness, "She can kick the bucket for what I care, but you are not dying on me, buddy!" Aaaaaaaaand it went downhill from there. Of course it did, of course 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
