Based on Jin Yong's less popular novel 飞狐外传 (from Book and Swords trilogy). Story is about the growth of main character Hu Fei in Jianghu from a young boy to a chivalrous martial arts hero and his bittersweet love with two women. Unliike previous adaptations, this is the first time 飞狐外传 is filmed independently without the copyright of sister novel 雪山飛狐.
Side Story of Fox Volant (Fei Hu Wai Zhuan) had finished 4 months of filming on 26th July. The three main leads Qin Jun Jie, Liang Jie and Xing Fei had a wuxia themed photoshoot with Esquire China to mark the end of filming.

I have no expectation for this one as these days no one can make great classic wuxia anymore let alone a Jin Yong work and I am not familiar with the casts. I know Liang Jie and Xing Fei are quite popular in idol dramas, although still not as popular than Zhao Lusi or Yangzi for example
