If you're into comedy and wuxia this is for you! If you like HK flicks like "Return of the Sentimental Swordsman" with assassins, intrigue and power rankings, or the smooth animation of Chinese Martial Arts like in the King's Avatar (Quánzhí Gāoshǒu). Watching this donghua reminds me a bit of Founder of diabolism (Mo Dao Zu Shi) with it's charming but clumsy or foolish MC. As well as popular movies like "Flirting Scholar" (1993) in terms of verbal tenacity as well as martial skills. Maybe even resembling the hidden powers within him like Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle". With it nonstop "Nichijou" or "Gintama" likehumor.

I really enjoy this as it really paints the world of Jianghu as a bunch exaggerations and rumor-mill gossip. Even adding a few episode arc of real life "social media" humor in there as well as a few western idioms. This show really exposes the funny and chivalric antics of other wuxia as well as the "ugly" side of social psychology and Chinese ethics. Greed over Morality to social constructs that block our society from progressing as productive people.

It really applies alot to modern day events and activities such as "social-climbing" and crowd-shaming/cancelculture.
