If there is, it should be mostly one-sided. Zhan Zhao's love should be Ding Yuehua, who is not in the cast list. He is a classic martial arts hero - for him to have a love interest besides Ding Yuehua would be like pairing up Superman with someone other than Lois Lane.

In the original classic, they should be frenemies. But this is fanfic/original script so I am not sure how they change it.

Indeed the plot for Blood River was pretty good but I won't put it in quite the same league as this. And yes, a Mandarin speaker would find it much harder to ignore bad lines and poorly written dialogues. Most of the time that explains why I just don't like super popular c-dramas as much as most of the other viewers on MDL.

Wowowow!!! Now THIS, is a wuxia! Not all that other crap that tries to pass off for the same genre.

Yang Yang is a vastly superior actor on multiple levels. Gong Jun can't even deliver his own lines.

I am watching on Disney+ in HK but there are no English subtitles and the Chinese subs are in traditional Chinese.

Over time, I have blocked most of the worst ones - they have nothing to add to the discussion anyway. Try it - its much more effective than holding your breath.😈😉😜

I am just following the rules of the universe as described in the drama. The quid pro quo for becoming a perfect war demon is his memory, everything that made him LQQ has been wiped. He no longer remembers himself and who he was, much less her and everything that happened between them. In some ways he reincarnated into someone else. So to me LQQ is dead. She is starting over with someone else. I liked the drama a lot but the ending not so much.

I think the whole point of being able to discuss dramas is to agree and/or disagree - there is absolutely no reason to start WW3 over an opinion.😉🤭😅

Yes the ML is the central character but many characters have good roles.

I don’t consider that to be a happy ending. And I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion he will fall for her all over again. As far as I am concerned LQQ is dead and all we have left is a perfect, all powerful empty shell.

He is alive but his character dies. Idk why they say it’s a HE.

Smart. Don’t walk, run!!!

I also thought she never got over Jiang Cheng and despite my love for Jing Boran, I didn't like Jiang Hansheng's character and found it hard to root for him. But I understand why they ended up together/she chose him. They are both incredibly needy characters.

They didn’t like how she played house with Jiang Cheng and seemed to waffle between them.

That makes sense - crime plot was solid but the romance plot was controversial, many viewers took issue with it.

I was fine with her until she wasn't sad about Jin Lun. Then I was like wow - she is useless.

If you watched Novoland Pearl Eclipse, this is a about the second FL, princess Tilan. It looks like in this story she is with her childhood sweetheart but in the original story, she is a consort of the mad bad emperor. This should bear no resemblance to the novel which doesn't really focus on her so its not really worth reading it. If you do want to skim it, it should be online somewhere and from memory its only the epilogue or the last few chapters that is all about her.

Yeah seems a lot more suspense this year. But Fate Chooses You is surprisingly good. Similar to Immortal Ascension except it’s more like Mortal Descension. And I think Zhan Zhao adventures will drop soon. In the meantime both Wang Hedi’ and Xu Kai’s suspense dramas have pretty good word of mouth. I checked out Wang Hedi’s but idk if I have time to continue.

Zhan Zhao adventures starting mid May - I can wait until then.
