Grace Under Fire is a series about kung fu. The drama follows the story of a girl named Kwai Lan who will become the last wife of the world famous material artist: Wong Fei Hung. Kwai Lan is just a normal girl who lives with her uncle and her adopted brother, Sam Shui. Sam Shui has two goals in life. One is becoming the desciple of Wong Fei Hung and the other one is to get the beautiful Kwai Fa to love him back. However, Kwai Fa doesn't love him at all but likes Ching Lung instead and Wong Fei Hung won't accept Sam Shui as his apprentice. The initially sweet and naive Sam Shui becomes a cruel, calculative and vicious man because of the many setbacks.

Fun facts
- The series is 32 episodes long.
- The Cantonese title of Grace Under Fire is 女拳 which literally means "Female Fist".
- This is the first time Liu Xuan acts in a TVB series. She is a retired gold olympic gymnast, actress and singer.
- This is the first time Kenneth Ma portrays a villain.
- A love pentagon between Kenneth Ma, Fala Chen, Bosco Wong, Liu Xuan and John Chiang (Wong Fei Hung).
I am watching this series because I watched A Fistful of Stances, also starring Kenneth Ma, and I really liked that drama. Grace Under Fire is kind of similar to AFoS. I just don't like the fact that Kenneth will become evil! It's so painful to see his unrequited love for Fala's character and it's understandable why he will become a villain. Liu Xuan is doing a great job in this series. Although her first language isn't Cantonese, you can really see she tried her best even if she knew she will be dubbed. I'm looking forward to her upcoming series.
Stay tuned for more,
K.
