First 2 episodes were a really good start :D
But episode 3 and 4 is where my enjoyment really skyrocketed. Amazing episodes, I thoroughly enjoyed them. I can't wait to see more :D

As a big fan of the donghua, I'm very pleased with this adaptation so far, and Yang Yang is doing a really good job as Han Li. It's different from the donghua, Yang Yang's Han Li is more lively, but I'm enjoying it a lot :D

The character she plays has a very small role in the donghua/original novel. They've said they're following the source material closely. If they do, I estimate we can probably expect to see her for about 8 episodes max, but more likely 5-6 episodes. But that all depends on how they're adapting this, they could have given her a bigger role, but as mentioned in a previous comment, it seems like they cut back on her scenes, and that's why she's not promoting the show. Who knows... We'll find out soon :)
As long as Yang Yang does a good job as Han Li, I don't really care much about how the other actors are, as every character besides Han Li, have very small roles.
Of course it's a plus if the actors are good, but this drama will be like 90% Han Li, so that's the most important part.

They aren't adapting the whole story.
It will most likely adapt up to episode 63 of the dongua.
Each episode of the donghua is about 15-20 mins. So with 30 episodes of about an hour's length each, the pacing should hopefully be fine :D

I think they briefly glow green when he uses his spiritual sense. Or whatever it's called

Awesome 👍 thanks for letting me know :D I guess I'm more used to Iqiyi dramas.

Have they released the airing schedule yet?

Yeah, a lot of people in the comments seemed to think the hate came from haters of the actors. But it's hate of the adaptation, its not entirely the actor's fault, they were given a terrible script with butchered characters.

Lets hope that in a decade or so when people have forgotten about this, they try again. Make it drama and not a movie, and get a director who actually likes the book.
And cast actors who fit the part better.

A fan can hope :D

Most of the hate for this isn't about the actors, but about how the source material was adapted. Even if you've never heard of ORV before, it has a large fanbase. And as with every book to movie adaptation, book fans will always be very critical.

Imagine if for example harry potter was remade, but they changed harry's character to feel more like draco malfoy.
Harry potter fans would be outraged.

Or imagine any book you like being made into a movie, where you watch it, and you get the feeling the director never even read the book. Instead they just skimmed through it, wrote a script based on a very shallow understanding, and said good enough.
Of course fans will be critical.

:)

They wrote in their comment the went to South Korea and watched it there.

Probably similar to the way the donghua is doing it. :)

If this follows the source material closely, then the female lead will have very little screen time, and won't be in a lot of episodes.
It is very focused on the male lead.

teleports to a new place to escape someone.

I've heard most people speculate it will end with him teleporting to the scattered star seas. Which according to the wiki means it will adapt the first 3 books.
But i don't know if that's been confirmed.

Its open in the sense that this drama won't cover the entire book, it will most likely adapt the first big arc, and end when he (small spoiler)

The fact that it's all about one person is why I like the donghua so much :D No annoying side characters with too much screen time. Very little filler. You know every character we meet is temporary , just like how the main character knows that on the road to immortality all relationships are temporary :)

poster looks cool :)

A synopsis was added to the page :)

I just remember him singing that song in the demon realm, and was like wait, that sounds like Ahn Hyo Seob.

I was a little sad we didn't get to hear him sing again.

Wdym?

he was really good in kpop demon hunters :D recognized his voice immediately :D
