In the realm of television, where fantasy and historical dramas often blend to create captivating narratives, the Chinese series “Wu Xin Fa Shi” (The Taoist Master) stands out. Its second installment, “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2,” released in 2017, continues the journey of the immortal Wu Xin, a character whose existence spans centuries, battling evil while grappling with his own immortality and the loneliness it brings. This article delves into the elements that make “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” a notable entry in the genre, from its storytelling and character development to its production values and cultural significance.
The Heart of the Story
At its core, “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” is a story about the eternal struggle between good and evil, set against the backdrop of early 20th century China. Wu Xin, portrayed with a compelling depth by Han Dong Jun, is not your typical hero. He’s immortal, yes, but his immortality comes with a price. He constantly battles not only external evils but also his inner demons, including a perpetual sense of isolation.
The second season introduces new characters and challenges, pushing Wu Xin to confront his past and question his purpose. The narrative weaves together multiple storylines, each enriching the world the series creates. It’s this intricate storytelling, coupled with the show’s historical setting, that hooks viewers. The blend of supernatural elements with historical events adds a layer of complexity, making the show more than just a series of battles against evil forces.
Characters That Resonate
Beyond the supernatural and historical aspects, “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” shines through its character development. Wu Xin, with his centuries-old wisdom and weariness, is a character that viewers can’t help but empathize with. His interactions with the other characters, especially the female lead Yue Ya, played by Chen Yao, provide glimpses into his vulnerability. Yue Ya’s own journey, from a naive girl to a woman who stands her ground, mirrors the show’s themes of growth and resilience.
The series also does an excellent job of fleshing out its supporting characters, giving them backstories and motivations that are as compelling as the main plot. This attention to character depth adds a richness to the narrative, making the world of “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” feel lived-in and real.
A Visual Feast
Visually, “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” is stunning. The production team’s attention to detail in recreating the early 20th-century setting is evident in every scene. From the intricate costumes to the elaborate sets, the show transports viewers to another time and place. The use of special effects to bring the supernatural elements to life is done with a subtlety that enhances rather than overshadows the story.
The cinematography deserves special mention. The framing of shots, the use of lighting, and the overall visual storytelling contribute to the show’s atmospheric quality. Whether it’s the eerie gloom of a haunted house or the serene beauty of a snow-covered landscape, the visuals in “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” are a key part of its appeal.
Cultural Significance
“Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” also offers viewers a glimpse into Chinese culture and folklore. The Taoist concepts and mythological creatures that feature prominently in the series are rooted in centuries-old beliefs. This cultural layer adds depth to the show, making it not just a source of entertainment but also an educational experience for those unfamiliar with these aspects of Chinese heritage.
The show’s exploration of themes like immortality, destiny, and the nature of evil invites viewers to ponder these universal questions. It’s this blending of action, philosophy, and cultural exploration that sets “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” apart from other entries in the genre.
Why It Matters
So, why does “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” matter? In a landscape crowded with fantasy and historical dramas, it stands out for its unique protagonist, its blend of genres, and its deep cultural roots. It’s a series that manages to be both entertaining and thought-provoking, offering something for viewers looking for action, romance, or a deeper understanding of Taoist philosophy.
For fans of the genre, “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” is a must-watch. But even those who might not typically gravitate towards historical or supernatural series might find something to appreciate in its rich storytelling and complex characters. It’s a show that proves the power of television to transport, to educate, and to move its viewers.
In conclusion, “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” is a series that defies easy categorization. It’s at once a historical drama, a supernatural thriller, and a philosophical exploration.

Whether you’re drawn to the action, the history, or the exploration of eternal themes, “Wu Xin Fa Shi 2” offers a journey worth taking.
