DON'T READ THE BOOK IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW THE DRAMA ENDS!!
Have you guys ever seen the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics? They look like shiet compared to the stuff that was shown on TV later on as a result of hiring professional cartoonists to "revise" looks of the comics. (Basically what everyone now knows as TMNT look nothing like the characters the creator(s) drew in the original comics).
The same with STAR WARS. George Lucas originally wanted to call it the Adventures of Luke Starkiller... BUT Good thing the studio stepped in and said NO that title!
The author of JoL is not GOD. He simply provides the template or draft work for Tencent to adapt. Stuff like Fan Xian sleeping around with every other women including the Empress of Qi, that kind of stuff will never make it into the drama. So please, if you guys want to know how JoL S3 pans out, don't read the book. Author of JoL wrote a good piece of fiction, but he's not really a professional "cartoonist". They (original authors) all seem to want to promote booze, smoke, drug, and promiscuous sex in the original works. The TV studio is there to clean up all that filth!
So basically, author of JoL wants the TV drama to end with Fan Xian "divorcing" Wan'er to marry Empress of Qi. Tencent said NO, and revised his Starkiller to Skywalker... BASICALLY, my point is that the original JoL story is just unrefined crude garbage that needs a TV studio with greater ethics, morality and professionalism to rework!
Don't you all be reading the book thinking it is gospel on how the drama will pan out... (I don't think anyone can claim the TV cartoon TMNT look worse than the original comics, or STAR WARS sounds worse than Adv of Luke Starkiller, BUT only the reverse!)
EP1 a bit unrealistic. I had a pet albino female parakeet. She's the only parakeet in the world that looked and acted like a miniature EAGLE(-let). I can relate to some scenes in the 1st Ep. BUT the way the phoenix slept with her wings sprawled out on the rocks is unrealistic. Birds tuck their head behind on their backs while stand up and sleep not sleep like a mammal lying flat on the rock!!
This looks interesting. There is no high profile actress behind the banned Fan Bing Bing other than ZLY. Tencent will splurge a lot of money on the effects for this drama solely for having recruited ZLY!
I so sick of Tencent rehashing 3L3W: Bai Qian then becomes mortal then back to Bai Qian (ie. Ancient Love Poetry, The Last Immortal). Legend of Shen Li seems like completely diff storyline not another clone of 3L3W. The one thing they did right in Last Immortal was Ah Yin didn't get pregnant with a god damn annoying kid half way thru the drama!
just watched this on netflix, should have watched this on cinema, cinematography is amazing
You don't need no cinema. Xiaomi only started making Redmi movie projectors a couple of years ago. Just recently they released their 2nd gen product. I played it smart letting others be the guinea pigs for the 1st gen. Then when they released the 2nd gen stuff that fixed most ppl's complains, I was ready with my wallet...
You don't need to spend a fortune to have a home cinema setup. Basically I used my bare bedroom wall (no projector screen used) and that worked flawlessly! To make the whole damn thing work, I spent $25 more on some blackout curtains. Now, I don't even care if it's sunny and bright outside, I can use the projector at noon or midnight, the sunlight never interferes!
The best part, also no need no fancy surround sound speaker system. Xiaomi boasts 3D simulated/virtual surround sound coming from the dual speakers embedded within the projector (which they branded as Wanos panoramic sound) and they truly sound 3D to my ears!!
Of course realize that Xiaomi is a poor man's brand. I spent no more than a combined USD $225 shipped to have my Xiaomi projector and blackout curtains. I think most decent computer monitors or TVs cost a lot more than that. If you really have money to blow just skip Xiaomi and get a 4K Hisense laser projector. Last I remember, the regular throw distance Hisense laser projector costs only $1k USD shipped from China...
JUST FINISHED EP40. THIS DRAMA IS NOT BAD BUT ALSO NOT GOOD.
After seeing Gu Jin get struck by lightning in Ep 02 trying to find a way to revive Feng Yin who he never even seen her face, and that God awful melodramatic background song... I wanted to drop THIS drama.
My hunch was correct. I stuck around till the END because I thought I might have missed out on something good... Bleh! In the END if I had dropped at Ep02, I would not have missed out on anything!
This drama is something like MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Basically in the END of the the drama nothing had CHANGED. Immortals/Gods die then get "reborn"/remade. Even a whole sect got restored. BIG DEAL!!
If you guys want an analogy to this DRAMA, go watch The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie made by DISNEY. Basically the movie starts with some alien spaceship come and blow up the Earth to smithereens. An Earthling managed to hitchhike on a star ship and escape that planetary destruction. Stuff happen in between. Then at the END of the MOVIE, some construction company was hired to reconstruct a mirror Earth planet. The Earthling who escaped the Earth's destruction arrived back on the mirror planet to find his home exactly like the one he had before! MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING!!!!!!!!
The SFX and fights in this drama really suck. The way Qing Lin died, lol did some highschool kid choreographed…
Feng Yin's face change is supposed to be something for China to show case her advanced CGI technology. Remember in Lord of the Ring movie(s) how Theoden the King suddenly changed from a 100 year old-looking man to someone in his 50's? This kind of visual effects opportunity Tencent missed out hugely on!
She looks too much like my baby sister (with her bubbly face) who betrayed our family. Seeing her is like seeing my baby sister in the drama... Of all the actresses in C-ent, Zhao Lusi is the only one to look like my baby sister in costume dramas... end of rant!
THE LAST IMMORTAL for me is a 10. I have now rewatched THE LAST IMMORTAL four times and I have enjoyed The Last…
The SFX and fights in this drama really suck. The way Qing Lin died, lol did some highschool kid choreographed that scene and did the effects in Microsoft Paint?
Also, Tencent is supposed to be a technology company too. How come they didn't use AI to change Feng Yin's face when she's under disguise? The C-ent industry has used AI before to "erase" the resemblance of certain banned actors/actresses. Why couldn't AI be used here as a SFX tool to modify disguised Feng Yin's face? Are we supposed to believe every time she waves her hand before her face, her appearance has somehow changed?
I demand Tencent adapt this drama into a movie to the tune of the 3L3W movie made by Alibaba with lavish effects and huge budget. Initially, I planned to drop this drama at Ep3. I couldn't understand why Gu Jin decided to sacrifice himself for some phoenix he never even met in Ep02... I'm at Ep30 now and I think this drama is better than ALP and way better than Journey of Chongzi, but the fights and SFX were a total let down for me!
Most recent Lusi rumored modern suspension drama!! Omg this Looks so good.https://twitter.com/ForCdrama/status/1744323717336031474?s=19
Ppl who idolize Zhao Lusi are nuts. She strikes me as having the same personality as Zheng Shuang (currently banned personality in China entertainment) -- cute on screen, really terrible person in real life!
Be thankful no 1 dug up any dirt on Zhao Lusi... yet!
In general the cuter certain stars appear in C-dramas, the more terrible and unethical they are in real life. I read somewhere Zhao Lusi actually pricked her costar with a needle during a BTS shoot and she didn't care she'd hurt her costar...
7.0/10 on Douban. Only 2k votes so far though. Final rating will swing with more votes, but Tencent can call it a triumphant redemption over a failed S1 (which only scored 4.4/10 score on Douban!)
Much better than Ancient Love Poetry (which IMO is just a 3L3W knock off and hence fully deserves that sh1t Douban score of 5.4/10). BUT not that much better.
The heck you talking about? S1 starring Leo Wu Lei only scored 4.4/10 on Douban. This S2 drama is Tencent trying…
LOL, who the one crying the bloody river for the different S2 cast?
I for one am enjoying S2 very much. Leo Wu sucks as Xiao Yan, and also Jelly Lin sux as Xun-Er.
Success overseas my rear end. Tencent doesn't care about you overseas viewers. You guys/girls form less than 5% of their total revenue.
If they actually cared so much for your opinion, they would have continued S2 with the same actors. BUT no. They did it with Ever Night. S1 bombed, S2 remade with lower budget. Repeat n rinse for Douluo Continent, Fights Break Sphere etc.
Anyways, it's you who got a problem with S2, not me.
I'm not the one complaining about S2 so why should I care what other "overseas" viewers think or want?
Money talks and bullshiet walks.
You overseas viewers don't get to decide how S2 should be made. That's up to the Chinese viewers and the ratings they get on Douban.
Sad! trashy TENCENT ruined Season 2 to this perfect drama. With a new inexperienced cast and ruined the whole…
The heck you talking about? S1 starring Leo Wu Lei only scored 4.4/10 on Douban. This S2 drama is Tencent trying to redeem itself from a failed S1 drama, while not spending too much (in case it bombs just as bad as S1).
ah jezuz. she cried. god help us, what an actress.(That said, she was fantastic in SSS)Songs in OP/END: yeah,…
The fuk u talkin about? The guiness world of record thread on MDL is by me. The thread is about what happens in the yet to be released S2 of Lost You Forever drama...!
(Or, oh I get it u bashed u brain so hard against the wall, it affected your eyesight...!)

Hey, another idiot... Welcome to the thread!
(You should see the one I created in Lost You Forevever... I wager that one had the most replies of any single thread on MDL!! Check my posting history to confirm...! It my guiness world record and my gift to MDL-ers!)

Otherwise, quit making up lies b1tch!
Look at my post history dumb dumb! This reply is the second post I ever made for this drama (after it aired).
I may or may not have made some posts prior to the air date, but I couldn't and wouldn't give a fuk to remember that far...!
