Side Story of Fox Volant (Season 1)

Side Story of Fox Volant (飞狐外传, 2022) is a Chinese wuxia drama series you can watch online on iFILM. It adapts the classic novel by Jin Yong — one of the most widely read names in Chinese martial arts fiction, whose stories have shaped the genre for decades.

Hu Fei enters the jianghu — the underground world of wandering fighters, rival clans, and shifting loyalties in Qing-dynasty China — searching for the truth behind his father Hu Yi Dao's death. The path leads him into direct conflict with a cruel regional warlord, a tangled romance with the warlord's daughter, and an encounter with the skilled master Miao Zhenfeng, poisoned and blinded by an enemy's hand. The truth about his father turns out darker than anything Hu Fei expected, and far harder to live with. Qin Junjie plays the lead — reckless at first, then heavier, which is exactly the arc the character needs.

Jin Yong adaptations succeed when the character web is intricate enough to carry the runtime. This one is. Stream Side Story of Fox Volant online on iFILM.
