Xian Hua

I haven't read the original novel, but based on what I found, it's more imperial / palace story. Besides, the original story is Japanese, so I don't think it can be transformed into xianxia drama - which is very true Chinese culture. Will be very interesting to see the crossover :)

ahhh not A Fan! Though I saw trailer Bi Zhi fighting with Wei Shao so somewhat I was guessing either him or Da Qiao. Ok, I will prepare with lots if tissues then! Xiexie!

He left me such strong memories from his antagonist role in SSS and JOL 1and2 - can't say I hated his characters there but he was just different. Very dramatic - each movement seems to be very theatrical. It's nice to see a change and watch him as the good guy in TPOB

Ep 32 now and I heard some spoilers but need to prepare myself: other than Wei Liang, any other good characters died?? What happened to Xiao Tao?

Is the drama ending = novel ending?

Love of the Divine Tree, Moonlight Mystique, Si Jin. If you haven't watched Zhang Wan Yi other dramas other than LYF, stick to his dramas, all ended with HE :)

well, this is the 2nd part from the donghua lol. So yea there are some similarities and the characters are connected with each other.

Based on the original story and knowing the 3rd part, yes, this is SE. But, many new costume dramas actually have HE

waaaaay better! I watched 5 episodes in one night (sleep, what's that??) while I couldn't even finish ep 1 in RMP 🤣

Minta spoiler ending-nya dong?

well, by definition, xianxia drama = immortal heroes, is a fantasy genre based on Chinese mythology and the concept of chivalrous spirit. Immortal world usually is pair with human world and demon world - also known as three worlds. You need to understand more about Chinese mythology and what ancient Chinese beliefs. You can also watch it without taking it too serious - if you have strong faith you shouldn't be bothered with different beliefs. If this kind of show bothers you too much, well, don't think there is any xianxia story without demon. You can try imperial drama or wuxia - both are historical without the flying gods and demons.

hahaa knowing RJL and how so many dramas have been changed completely from the original novel, yea. I am not expecting too much. But I like mystery genre so I am loving this so far.

lol some people are just too sensitive. I am telling you since I started watching this drama and it has very minimal romance feeling and I am getting similar vibes of Strange Tale of Tang Dynasty. I don't read tags since I don't believe those tags, I prefer to watch it first. Since you only want kiss scene romance drama, you probably only get a peck in this one - knowing RJL and how this drama is going so far. I watched like 10 of his dramas and I only remember 3 dramas with memorable kiss. The rest are either a peck (doesn't count) or none. Lastly, I gave you the advise but I didn't tell you want to do lol - you do whatever you want sweetheart. I just think expecting a kiss scene from RJL drama is rather hopeless.

LOL I think you are the one being too sensitive. You came here to post something that you don't like and I say well, then don't watch it. What do you want to hear? He's going to get younger? Or she's going to get older? Most likely her character will grow more mature just like any other dramas, but if you think he's too old, then either you can continue watching and whining but not going to change anything into what you like, or save yourself and stop watching. Your choice :)

The English name of this drama is misleading - I don't know why they like to put "Romance" in everything, but this is more like a mystery solving drama rather than romance. The original drama name is Ban Xia which is the FL's name. So if I were you I would adjust my expectation knowing this is NOT a romance drama - think more like "Strange Tale of Tang Dynasty" which also takes in the same era. Little or minimal romance interaction. Nobody commented about about Yang Xu Wen did no kiss and of course people would scream that Ren Jia Lun would do no kiss. My advise is skip this drama even if you have nothing else to watch rather than watching and complaining for something doesn't fit in the story.

I am always a fan of his voice and sooo glad he used his own voice!

well, here's an advise, stop watching this and watch something else that more suitable for your taste.

Blood of Youth

Is there any other dramas like this - no not JOL I have watched S1 and S2 million times lol - Also watched BOY several times. Any hidden gems maybe? We might never see GotD S2 so I need something else.........

Joy of Life. So many aspects are similar. But yea, if you like JOL you will like this one.
