DAMN THIS KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND IT HURTS ME TO SEE HOW POORLY RATED IT IS?? like It's literally THE ONLY ONGOING KDRAMA I AM LOVING... or probably watching.... GOSH
This series is under iQIYI Love On, means original script/story.
As long as the drama has been credited to be adapted from a novel officially, no matter how much changes made it really can't be tagged original because it's attached already to that novel. They have bought the rights so they basically will work on what will do the adaption right for them. it's always like that, changes from novels
CAN WE BRING BACK HUMMING AS OPENING THEME SONGS WITH ARTISTIC DRAWING as background? yes.. exactly what ALP did because it was freaking iconic and That's Exactly what xianxia should be like
