Dropped. Did not do the donghu justice

I watched this because the Soul Land donghua is literally my fave donghua of all time. I had high hopes because I’m also a HUGE fan of cdramas. I literally live to watch it. But I could not get past episode 4. I disliked that they decided to change that he reincarnated and instead let his dad teach him the skills he learnt in his previous life. It actually entirely defeats the purpose of Tang San being overly smart and talented and then using that knowledge in that world. It didnt make sense for either of his parents to hand those techniques down because in the world of soul land, only Soul Masters and Soul beasts are a way of power. I felt that it didn’t bring out how unique he really is in the fact that he actually lived another life. I’m not even sure if he has the ambition to create the Tang sect like he did in his previous life but I didn’t stay to find out. The forest was lacklustre.lt looked like a normal forest. I’m not even sure if I’m the later episodes they entered the forest deeper and the trees and plants looked different ( I know in his dreams the forest looked how it did in the donghua but when he went to get his first soul beast it was just a plain bland forest). Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu from the start was not giving anything. She was definitely not the same like the donghua and I actually got irritated with her at one point. I felt that they way too quickly forced them to be together. Sure in the donghua it’s different but they were small kids and she just seemed better and he even seemed more mature as a kid in the donghua than he did in the drama. I have no other way of saying it. I felt she was too childish and he just immediately accepted her for the sake of the plot. that’s what it looked like to me. I have no hate towards Xiao Zhan. I like him as an actor I just felt that they didn’t do the donghua justice by making this.

If I could rate this drama a 15/10 I would

I was hooked on this drama from the first episode. I’m usually a very BIG fan of xanxia dramas but this wuxia drama has stolen my heart and has easily become my favourite drama. I’m only on episode 17 but I already want to go back and rewatch the episodes. I’m SO obsessed. The acting, the CHEMISTRY, the action, the plot, the characters themselves are all so good. The fl especially is different from your usual soft fl. Shes a notorious assassin and she’s good at it. It has comedy and everything just comes together so well. Also Liu Yu Ning >>>>>>>> OBSESSED with him. He needs more recognition and more dramas.
