Deities are not required for a drama to be considered a xianxia (though that's not to say they can't be present), in fact a typical xianxia would mostly have mortals in the mortal realm cultivating to achieve "immortality" (being super powerful and very difficult to kill, and living for centuries, etc., not necessarily ascending to the heavens).
Examples of typical xianxia would be Chinese Paladin/Legend of Sword and Fairy, and Jade Dynasty/Noble Aspirations.
I still hope they will release this after Asian Games end in October!!
Btw y'all can calm about "2024" here in mdl, it's not anything official yet (in fact, on iQIYI it's still "TBD" if I'm not mistaken)… FYI, MyDramaList data is edited by MyDramaList contributors/users themselves, what you see here is not always accurate (especially for dramas not released yet).
This is a good drama, with interesting albeit very messed-up characters; highly recommended, if you understand what you're getting into. BUT I would advise against starting this while it's still airing (unlike me), cause the schedule keeps getting more and more ridiculous: it's bad enough that it's only 1 episode per week, but it's now the 2nd time (if I'm not mistaken) that we don't get a new episode for 2 weeks, yeah that's one twenty-something minutes episode after two whole weeks!!!
massive age gap? they have MAYBE a 5-7 year difference in this drama. MingLan is 8 in episode 1 and he's maybe…
I think he's an experienced enough actor to make it fit, if they let him.
But it's ok the voice actor for that one isn't bad either. It's just that I love FSF voice too much that for the first 10+ episodes of Legend of Zhuohua I was always turned off from the different voice...
But he's flirty enough in Zhuohua, if he also had his own (sexy) voice... would we survive it? 😊🤣🤣

Indeed so dashing!!! I'm tempted to rewatch as well, it's probably his best drama to date. His real voice used here is also so pleasant to the ear, too bad they don't use it that often in other dramas!
So I am looking for a good Chinese drama. I am pointing some key points which I would prefer. But even if they…
- The Rise of Phoenixes - Nirvana in Fire 2 - Rebel: Thief Who Stole The People - The Longest Day in Chang'an - Scarlet Heart (original Chinese - 2011) - Singing All Along - Sound of the Desert - Return of the Condor Heroes - Six Flying Dragons - The Princess' Man - The Legend of Zhuohua - The Princess Wei Young - The Ingenious One - Under the Microscope - The Sword and the Brocade
It's from 2016. And nope, drama airs very lowkey, i barely was able to find and link raws, and i doubt someone…
Thanks!! I'd like to check the feel of the drama at least, if possible. Lately I'm falling in love more and more with somewhat older dramas and I think that this one would be my type!

That's too bad!! Btw, none of the links you provided bellow works in my region, do you happen to know if there's anywhere else that it can be viewed raw at least?
Just me here still waiting, another 1& a half days for episode 3 to come on Viki! Meanwhile, the MDL countdown mocking me about episode *5* supposedly coming in 6 days... 💀

As for which of the 2 categories this drama would belong, I guess we'll know after airing for certain! :)
