E13-16. Well. I have to admit that I didn't enjoy this set of episodes as much as the ones that came before, but - and this is important - I do feel that Show is on track, in terms of developing and telling our story.

Mainly, I appreciate that our characters continue to feel like real people - imperfect, flawed and sometimes making decisions that aren't the greatest.

Trailer for just-premiered cdrama "Sword and Fairy"

Not to be confused with Sword and Fairy 4, whose trailer I just shared, this one is a story based on Sword and Fairy 6 (Chinese Paladin 6), and the two stories have nothing to do with each other, except that they both belong to the Chinese Paladin series of RPG games.

Show's synopsis on MDL reads:

Subbed trailer for just-premiered cdrama "Sword and Fairy 4"

Just to be clear, this is part of the Chinese Paladin series, which a group of dramas based on the popular RPG of the same name. 

To my understanding, each of these are standalone story worlds, so Sword and Fairy 4 is independent of Sword and Fairy 3 and other Sword and Fairy shows.
