Just finished episode 12 and damnnnnn! The snakess!!! They are so smart tricking them with the voices!! All episodes until now have been very well paced and not one boring moment!

CGI truly IS bad. I myself, as a fan on this series, agree. Unfortunately Chinese CGI in live action dramas tend to be...not very quality like and seem tacky if not used to it. BL adapted dramas are not very rich in budget unfortunately, although it might change soon enough. As for shorter...well..reason why it's not shorter is because every detail matters for the grand plot from the end. Even if it's something plain like a lotus soup bowl, those details matter a lot when the plot thickens up when the present timeline is present(episode 33+). I do believe tho, that this drama isn't for everyone. Some watched it exclusively for the BL content while other(like myself) watched it because of the final plot which is very lifelike regarding decision making.

That is quite true for me also. From what I read from others, this drama is more novel compliant, whereas TLT2 wasn't really following the novel and added many extra elements and characterizations. Neo's Wu Xie and Luhan's from the movies and also the one from Sea Sand, are more smart (they have that leader aura not follower aura), whereas this one relies more on his friends.

You're welcome! Enjoy watching! I will also go and continue it! Episode 7 here I come!

https://www2.dramacool.ae/drama/ultimate-note-2020/ This one! I see it has all 10 episodes with engsub already. Damn, they were fast!

Neo Hou delivered my best preferred version of Wu Xie! He was that good!

Although I also paid for the subscription hehe, wanted to binge fast and high quality video! I did now a quick search online and you can find the engsub episodes on dramacool. Just beware of the ads as I see they have more and more ever since I've checked their website last. Also video quality seems a bit low. Hope it helps!

That's a shame... I admit to have watched way more korean dramas than chinese ones but in the last 3 years, in my opinion, Kdramas have gone down by alot! Same plot, same type of romances, short for me (as in 16 episodes is not enough for my type of consumer) and new actors that are being put into roles that don't fit or given time to progress. Korea has many webnovels and webtones as well, but they only adapt the cheesy romance ones which again, it's a shame. I am glad that lately China provides subtitles for international viewers while Korea still needs fan translators to do their work for free. Considering that China has so many censor rules (ghosts, BL, historical and costume limited dramas) they sure do a better work than S Korea does at the moment when they have no censorship rules

Try and see if maybe a VPN works for you ...sad that it's not available for so many people..

For me, what made me saw him as Xie Lian was this video of him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJbeRZ98fTQ The grace of his movements reminded me of Xie Lian and his dance which pleased the Gods. Andddd not long after I saw this video with the actor of JGY where he is holding the umbrella which again made me visualize someone as XL:))) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR7vsKwBURM The actors for this will sure be hard to cast!

Is MDL's wish to become only a website for Korean dramas? Because dropping The Untamed rating AND Nirvana in Fire??? I mean, ok! I can understand that there has been a few people that maybe made an account just to give 10 starts rating to The Untamed because the popularity of it was and still is huge, but Nirvana in Fire didn't had that huge fandom...even comment over there were not as many...IF MDL deletes 10 start ratings from ghost accounts, why they don't remove also troll accounts that only give 1 star rating to Chinese and Japanese dramas? Because I see many trolls like that that drop 60 episodes drama from 1 episode with rating 1...Not fair system you've gotten yourself, MDL...Not fair

Hehe! I cannot really feel your pain here because I entered the fandom after TLT2 aired, so I was able to indulge into binge watching all season without waiting:)) I haven't checked online how long did the production lasted for both of the seasons to make a fair comparison because of course the longer a production is being worked on, the best it will be, but as per visual effects, in my opinion, out of all seasons, TLT2 and The Sea Sand would be high up in the pyramid, Ultimate note following close on 3rd or 4th place, depending how the consistency will last through out the season.

While I haven't read the novel, from what I understand, this drama will be continued here: https://mydramalist.com/64387-heavenly-palace-on-the-clouds . Don't know if it will pick up right after the cliffhanger or remake the last scene tho.. Also, the story that takes place after it, is airing now and it's pretty good!

After only 4 episodes watched, I can say that Joseph plays a real good Wu Xie! You can tell that he studied either the books or the drama with Neo Hou because the mannerism is spot on! Production wise tho, I do think it's not on par with TLT2 because the camera angles and the voice sync are not so good in some parts. Bromance 100% and mystery 1k%:)) Cannot wait to watch more because the story is captivating!

For me it shows that episode 1&2 are free and the rest are for VIP. Episodes 3&4 to be unlocked today. BUT! I have chatted with someone from here that said the same about a different drama that airs on IQIYI website, and they have the same issue. We reached the conclusion the episodes can be region locked to North America. I am from Eastern Europe now, and the episodes are unlocked for me. Anyone from other regions that have this issue?

Drama finally started! First 2 episodes can be watched here for free. VIP membership gives an advance of 6 more episodes.Link for IQIYI desktop watching: https://www.iq.com/play/1a0si8jnra4?frmrp=search&frmb=list&frmrs=image

Have they actually aired in China already? everywhere I look, i see that they also air on 10.12

It is a continuation but it doesn't pick up from where Lost Tomb 2 left. The continuation of that one is this one which didn't air yet: https://mydramalist.com/64387-heavenly-palace-on-the-clouds. Ultimate note is basely the story that take place after Heavenly Palace. Someone name Scarlet has a comment here, down below, with the order of the whole series

!!!! Can't believe it's going to air this year! Yasss! Just checked now and apparently it will have 37 episodes! Trailer here: https://www.iq.com/play/2dssx90vjmw?frmrp=search&frmb=list&frmrs=image

Anyone who has any news of this drama? Every time I search the name in Chinese, I always find The Lost Tomb 2...Only on Douban I see this poster and even there, people who comment are confused as to what this is..
