It starts out as mostly a comedy, about a goofy, clumsy hairdresser who wishes he was a lihai kungfu assassin. His sidekicks are funny. His love interest is a secretive and powerful assassin herself. The plot is witty and unique.
Some episodes are pure drama. Some are mostly kungfu action, albeit lighthearted. Some are a bit artistic and abstract. Most are comedy.
It continues that way for two seasons. But then, in the third season, it starts to drift more into the kungfu action. Drama remains here and there. Comedy starts becoming rarer and rarer.
And by the fourth season, it feels like a completely different show. Episodes 1 and 2, for example, are each a single kungfu battle, both over-the-top yet taking itself seriously. It feels like a group of teenage animators took control and are just trying to one-up each other with 'here comes a really unstoppable ability' after another after another after another.
And where's Ronnie in all that?! :(
If it ever gets back to its season 1-2 roots, it'll be a must-see again!
