*popping in the sanctuary*
Since the end of the live-action show, I was so into the story that I started binging the donghua. Since finishing with the donghua, I also started the novel (and to some degree the comics, but not as into that).
I loved live-action show (it's not perfect), but it was a really good show. But now I totally get why it invoked such negative reaction from donghua fans.
It's unfortunate - because the donghua is SOOOO good. The TV show is actually also good, but can't even compare.
It's like comparing apple - the delicious kind. Crisp and sweet, and it's really good.
to the donghua, which is like a strawberry - dipped in chocolate, covered by nut, maybe even with a dollop of icecream (on certain ep). -- I loved the live-action finale episode, but compared to the donghua Tang Hao return... wow...
Now, onto the novel...
(But to say why bother adapting to live-action if it can't be compared, I'd say I'm glad that they did. Otherwise, I may not have discovered the donghua. I'm glad to have found it... Except 15 min every week should be classified as cruel and unusual! ;p)
