I really love Chinese Wuxia stories. I grew up watching wuxia film and series, reading novels (Gu Long, Jin Yong, WRA, etc), Manhuas (mostly Tony Wong's).
But sadly, I find Chinese wuxia today are bloated with unnecessary drama, wire-fu, and excessive CGI with pretty faces who can't do action.... I rather re-watch old stuff from 90s HK production and Shaw Brothers'.
I don't follow modern Chinese dramas so I don't know much but there is one that I enjoy watching, it's "Scarlet Heart" (Liu Shishi & Nicky Wu). I love it. Unfortunately the sequel is not on par, disappointing.
