The drama was initially submitted to the NRTA for approval with 40 episodes, but the final broadcast version was…
@Vince Is there regulatory policy regarding sensitive content such as cannibalism and incest?
I mean the plot about the Sima Jiao's revenge is actually because of these.. The whole Gencheng immortal mansion rose up through other people consuming Sima Clan people and then forcing marriage and childbirth among sima clan family members to maintain bloodline purity.. Later they even wanted to force the ML's mother to have a child with the ML (as they were the last two Simas alive) which drove her crazy and she died refining the Fengshan spiritual fire to give the ML a chance to survive. The ML was disgusted and thought such a rotten sect doesn't need to exist and also for his own freedom so that his power, blood and flesh doesn't fall into their hands, he decided to take revenge and destroy the whole gencheng immortal mansion. He also had mania and bloodlust as a sign of sickness for a child born from incestuous bloodline that has been going on for generations.
So. if they cut this part due to regulations on sensitive content, then Sima Jiao's background, personality like how he became like this, and reason for revenge would not be clear enough.
Xianxia is my favorite genre. There are a few dramas I'm looking forward to: When Destiny Brings the Demon, The…
For me only WDBTD. For others, I have a saint mentality.. There are so many good stories.. Since they have been put into production, they will be released one day anyway.. So, I will just watch whichever airs when.
It doesn't matter if drama have less reservation as long as script is good, various drama with good reservation…
Yeah, As long as it followed the novel properly..it would be a huge hit. I hope production team didn't try to overcomplicate things which are not necessary. C-drama adaptations feel like a gamble, either hit or miss.
I remember royal rumors drama adapted from "The Times Spent in Pretense" was butchered so badly that I had trauma about Cdrama for three whole months. I only liked 3 novels of that author and this one was her best. Even the other one "A girl like me" was butchered very badly. The last one "flying up without disturbing" feels like going to be ruined too. This author's other novels are really not good, but these 3 were really written well in terms of plot and characters. Sad that 2 got butchered really badly.
I created a discussion page on mdl Xianyu. Many new viewers who haven't read the novel might not know what this drama is about. So feel free to check this out. It contains a kind of summary about the novel, lead characters, various plot points just to give you a quick idea to get started with the drama. If you are wondering whether to watch this drama or not.. read the novel summary plot points first and then decide.
And dear novel readers if you have anything to share or add such as favorite plot points, expectations about drama, your analysis etc. you can post on that page too.
And if you find people in other platforms showing interest in this drama you can share the discussion link to let them get familiar about this story.

Yeah.. Just like how OG was.. it had huge heat index before release and then just a normal performance because the story didn't hold up and male lead characterization wasn't done very well even in novel and drama didn't improve anything but made it more depressing.
Also the drama blossom didn't have much reservation or heat index, it wasn't even a high budget drama but because the plot is so good and the ML & FL characters were fleshed out really well that it exploded and became more popular than many hyped drama with high budget.
So, in the end no matter what, it depends on whether the plot and characterization of main leads are set properly or not.
[P.S. Of course, I mean no disrespect.. OG drama might appeal to people who prefer bitter sweet youth growing up type of drama]
Reservation is rising 5000 per day.. I am starting countdown.. Hope they announce the official date earlier. I am also hoping for them to appear in hi6 https://www.youku.com/ku/webtv
Yes no misunderstanding, no love triangle ( no one will dare to become sima jiao's love rival 🤣), no love rival…
Yeah Sima Jiao really is the best.. His liking for her has nothing to do with her abilities or beauty or anything.. She just needs to be the regular her and that's it. Honestly, I am worried too about some weird cringe or unc. angst popping up... but lets hope for the best.. You can read the novel.. its really good.
https://x.com/MUAmmfc/status/1949378808152560038Drama Team released a first kiss poster of Shizu and his girl…
Yeah, thanks for sharing the poster. I saw the reservation number on Youku China just now.. Feel so happy. Lets pray 1 million.. https://www.youku.com/ku/webtv
🍉Not just Xianyu, but Moonlight Reunion has also been moved from the summer schedule to late September, although…
Bless you man for this good news. I was so panicked.
But one thing I don't understand why Arthur Chen gets so much hate every time there is a promising project.. I mean looking at c entertainment industry almost at least half of them are from rich and influential families and many 2nd or 3rd gen entertainment industry tycoon families.. like many have parents as actors, directors, producers and owns ent companies, news and media etc.. So why he gets so much haters.. of course others also get some controversy on the eve of release but he gets too much compared to others..
