Must Watch if you are a Xiao Zhan fan!
After two months, I finished watching Douluo Continent. It is a fantasy, martial arts, adventure series available on WeTV. It stars Xiao Zhan as Tang San and Wu XianYi as Xiao Wu. It has 40 episodes and each episode runs for 45 minutes. I finished the series in two months because I can't watch it every day. I have work. Tons of it. So, there!
The story focuses on Tang San who overcame a lot of challenges in his life, together with his classmates in Shi Lan Ke, an academy for improving soul power. The series is based on the manhua Douluo Dalu (斗罗大陆) by Tang Jia San Shao. I believe there is also a donghua of the same name. Though I haven't read the manhua or watched the donghua.
I watched the series because it stars Xiao Zhan, and I'm a fan.
Some observations about the series. First, it's slow-paced. It takes a lot of episodes for character development and story background. The story became more exciting around the 20th episode, I think. Second, the musical score is not that impressive. It's kinda boring actually. I am used to C-drama with great music like The Untamed (which also stars Xiao Zhan). Third, it feels like a game. The soul masters have to do something to "level up" their soul power. But before a soul master can "level up", he/she has to have enough EXP to move to the next level. Fourth, it promotes positive values and team spirit. This is what I like about this series the most. Lastly, it has a hanging ending. I was like "I watched 40 episodes for this ending?"
If you want to watch this series, you have to be patient, and you have to be a Xiao Zhan fan; otherwise, you'd be bored in the middle of it. Also, you have to understand that there is a Season 2, hence the hanging ending.
My score for this series is 7/10. Sorry Xiao Zhan, just because I am a fan doesn't mean that I have to give all your projects high scores.
