Wulin Heroes

Why why did it have to be Gong Jun

Another character bites the portrayal dust

He might not have become king. Can't say definitely. Hence why I said "you might be able to take him out".
I agree that the flow of the story would be damaged, tho.

It'd be much better if they planned strong character development for the male lead whose gonna end up with the girl. Like realizing too much kindness towards cruel people is being cruel to their victims. Or going off the rails and trying a ruthless path and learning the damages of both attitudes. Idk, something. Instead, he wasn't even consistent in his biggest character trait: empathy.
They made such an iconic 3rd lead. Should've worked even harder on the 2nd. Of course, the actors' performances also played a big part.

I know he's not "converted" officially (not sure what term they use) but he dresses and acts like one. So I thought it weird to imagine him with a lover.

I was like: Omg is that Langya wang?? Then he introduced himself. Im glad they kept some of the familiar faces.

It's not just you. I've read some people comment they look alike. Although I never saw any similarity lol

Isn't Wuxin a monk?

Just because he's named 3rd lead, doesn't mean he's 3rd important. On the contrary. I think you might be able to take out the FL and TSJ without damaging the plot too much. But If you take out CX or XL, the second season practically won't exist. Not to mention some leads would be dead even before the season starts and CX might not have become king.

How to rate this? First season was easily 8.5 but this one is barely worth a 3. Too much moping around and very little character development. Even some performances were lacking for me (the ending parts of YZ's long crying scenes almost made me laugh, sounding like she was forcing herself to cry).

While things about her parents, the "dream" scene, A'nian's character development, CXY and CX's thought provoking choices and fate and XL's entire arc deserve a 10. Idk how to rate this lol

I second Young Blood and Mysterious Lotus Casebook

39, I think

"In terms of family background and talent, he's impeccable. If XiaoYao doesn't choose him, should she choose me, an unfaithful scoundrel, or you..."

"Me what?
You really are a scoundrel. If Xiaoyao cared about background, Ye Shiqi wouldn't exist."

(Funny how a short conversation completely changed my view on two characters)

Ok now I'm starting to get bored. A few episodes in and the FL has practically become accessory, feels like she's just swaying with the wind, looking pretty. She was so unique and impactful before. And why is there zero character development (sometimes even regression) for TSJ? He's turning one dimensional.

I think you completely missed the entire point of the story.

Well, people appreciate different things. He's a gentleman, albeit indecisive. I too was rooting for him most of this season.

This drama doesn't follow the norm. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Though I'd try to stay away from the comment section. It's full of untagged spoilers from people who've read the novel

This question is in so much contrast with your pfp 😄

Yeah, the writing is unique, which makes it fun.
(I figured the guy's popular lol I was practically forced to start this, much earlier than planned just for the fear of being spoiled by all the fanmade mvs of him that popped up everywhere)

Oh, those sound interesting.
Not sure about angst but for heartache, maybe try "Till The End of The Moon" and "Mysterious Lotus Casebook"
