Some good arguments about quality on screen and quality of script/acting/story. JTTW is unfair comparison because TVB didn’t pay much budget into it, it was decades ago and during those times the effects are considered very good for asian standard and jttw is an entertaining story.

For this production, story is becoming stale. Same old same old. so what attracts is the styling, the backdrops, the decoration which all complement the acting when the story is same old same old. Usually in china high quality production does come with good acting because they pay good actors and make sure they look good. Usually.
