Thank you, you are a blessing! I do not have a particularly strong desire to watch the whole series, but as I got incredibly interested in the Souther Archives/Southern Anecdote upcoming drama adaptation I was always overwhelmed by my desire to know whatâs going on in this series, what goes in which order etc. while never being able to comprehend and organise it myself - until today, I found your list! Thank you again!
[On a side note: there is so much stuff based off of these novels or using itâs characters đ some of it contradictory, some of it are re-makes and even the continuations of the stories almost never has the same cast (why tho??)⊠it gets so confusing - especially for someone like me who has not read the novels, but likes to know the details of everything.]
I have a question though; there are a lot of movies and spin-offs to the Mystic Nine series (particularly interesting to me is the Mystic Nine: Qing Shan Hai Tang - which apparently is also a prequel to the main series you mentioned here?), is there any particular order to watching them? Are they based off of novels too or just made in addition to the series?
Zhang Haiqi(godmother) belongs to overseas Zhangs. Hai means Overseas Zhang(s). So if there's Hai in their name,…
You seem to know a lot about the Lost Tomb and related drama series (Ultimate Note etc. if Iâm not mistaken) and the novels theyâre based on. Please, could you tell me how the main characters from this novel/drama here are connected to Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie etc characters of the Lost Tomb series?
Don't worry, you'll forget all about Yun Ji On very soon. It'll be like he never even existed.
well, he isnât my favorite actor or anything but thatâs exactly what I do not want to happen. What he did might not have been responsible or good, but nothing serous happened and there are legal punishments (like a fine) for that kinds of offenses (like a DIU). The fact that he stepped down from the drama I kinda understand but I hope thatâll be it. He shouldnât be shunned or anything, and it shouldnât drag him down for the rest of his life. I hope heâll be able to come back to work and play in dramas normally.
I hope thatâs it. Like, heâll be able to work and get roles normally after that. Like, I kind of get why would they do that (edit him out) now (although I personally wouldnât go that far, itâs a cultural difference I guess), but I hope itâll be a one time thing (he did something illegal, probably paid a fine or whatever is being issued for such offense in SK, apologized eagerly - it sounds very legit, from what is written here - but lost main a role in a drama - kind of a âpunishmentâ), like he shouldnât be dragged for it for years afterwards (especially that he no accident etc actually happened) or it shouldnât irreversibly impact his career - that would be blowing the issue out of proportion.
This looks really good! â€ïž I love retro dramas (from vintage, through war related topics to retro, every nostalgic aesthetic), Iâm very excited for this series
but they have 21 years age gap.. i think that will not appropriate.
Yeah, exactly, because sheâs playing a minor (high school student). So I hope they wonât have any romantic themes, but who knows? Sometimes they like to show inappropriate things, as in that âtheyâre wrongâ so this types of relationships exist in media, I just hope it wonât be the case here.
TBH the chinese dubbing didn't sound right either; it doesn't sound like the chinese from chinese dramas that…
Thatâs true, well, at least they have them be dubbed in Chinese instead of speaking gibberish (that would be very offensive) or with really really bad accent.
this drama is shot in a way (the color scheme, the cinematography) that makes it look as if it was set in the 90s or something. But is it? Is it not? Iâm not sure, I donât think it isâŠ
