I thought this was gonna b a cool drama about some game I neva heard of.
BUT, it turns out to be a...
Shameless promo for upcoming (official release of) League of Legends: Wilf Rift 5v5 phone moba. Honor of Kings didn't do so good overseas (vs Mobile Legends: Bang Bang), that's y Tencent upping the game, getting ppl excited about their mobas thru an online drama.
Watching Yang Yang plow thru the games killing characters mercilessly and easily causes me to vomit. Reminds me of the reason I quit Mobile Legends in the first place. There r characters that just don't die no matter how low their HP gets. They're equipped with HP recovery cheats and this Yang Yang just loves to use them. Makes we wanna puke...!
Weak drama --- only managed a 5.4 on Douban after 110k votes.
OK, so let's refresh our memory, ALP only got 4.9/10 on Douban when there were only 50k votes. It means 60k votes later (110k votes total) the haters were gone, and everyone gave the show a 5.9/10, so in the end it averaged 5.4/10.
Meh dramas like Dance of the Phoenix, Castle in the Sky 2 did way better at 6.1/10. You guys sure ALP is such a good drama at 5.9/10 true score (sans haters)?
BUT WAIT, I SKIPPED to the LAST EPISODE and noticed that they actually did something RIGHT compared to Eternal Love (aka Ten Miles):
EL ending had the guy resurrect and run to the girl towards the end. That is so... wrong. This is a male dominated world. The girl should be running to the guy instead.
THIS alone doesn't make up for the fact that ALP failed as a drama. Tencent as a company had always been a me-too company. When they saw how successful EL/Ten Miles was, Tencent decided it was a good idea to have their own EL drama. What happened they ended up with a drama that tried too much to dethrone EL with fantastic CGI that only companies like Tencent can afford and failed miserably...
I can see a lot of comments here are VERY biased. They go read the 1's scores on Douban and think OMG HATERS everywhere!!
U guys realized that +50,000 votes came in right? OKAY, so let's say 10,000 hated the FL's looks and gave the show a 1's. Pfff, big deal! As if 10,000 votes can influence the other +40,000 votes. ALP got a 5.1 (or 4.9 seems to fluctuate) coz 50000 ppl on AVERAGE thought it was that bad...
I waited for at least 20 episodes to be released before starting this. Can't relate to the people rating this…
BTW, u guys know that Tencent is a VERY RICH company right? They just put some lipsticks on the pig called 3L3W-esque Xianxia, apply a new name then voila u have a new drama.
Drama has v good CGI ooh ahh this that. Of course it, does. Tencent can afford to throw all that money into EVERY SINGLE drama they make. Doesn't mean the drama is all that good.
The Douban ratings the one that sees past the money behind the production company and reveal the truth about the drama for all its worth!

Douban ratings are very fair and accurate. There's never been a good drama that got a bad rating on it. Too many times I made the mistake of jumping into a drama only to find out I wouldn't have wasted so many hours on it had I checked out the Douban ratings earlier on.
I have learnt my lesson. From now on, I will wait for a drama to finish airing, see the Douban score, then decide if I want to get into it. This no matter how much hype drama/movie got on release...
100% rip off of 3Lives3Worlds (aka Eternal Love):1. Main baddy got imprisoned by a giant bell in EL. Main baddy…
BTW, my eyes playing tricks on me? Was 4.9 Douban a few days ago, then up to 5.1 yesterday... Now back to 4.9? Maybe my browser displaying info cached a few days ago?
100% rip off of 3Lives3Worlds (aka Eternal Love): 1. Main baddy got imprisoned by a giant bell in EL. Main baddy got imprisoned by a formation in this drama. 2. Two gods were not allowed to fall in love in EL and were expelled from Heaven. God of Day + Night not allowed to fall in love in this drama. 3. A story arc where FL lost her memories. Same story arc where FL problably went amnesic in this drama. (I only watched up to Ep5 so can't comment on this... yet). 4. FL fell off a high ledge and ended one of her lives in EL. That giant gaping hole ML took FL to see in Ep4... She's supposed to fall into it later on right?
Only 4.9 on Douban (50k votes). Personally found the first few episodes very boring. Drama seems hellbent on being Tencent's version of Three Lives Three Worlds aka just another clone, but with Tencent flavor. Didn't enjoy 3L3W much. Douban rating seems to agree with me.
Tencent Videos has a huge overseas viewers base. Tencent makes dramas like this just to make ppl fancy a moba from them.

Dropped drama at Ep2.

You get the idea.
