In Episode 22, there were significant cuts made. The transitions between scenes were poorly executed once again,…
The current Imperial City arc consisting of episodes 20 to 24 is going over 4 times faster than the previous arcs, and it's also one of the most interesting arcs in the complete Tiannan arc. It's insane, considering they even made the previous non important arcs extra watery.
The Yellow Maple Valley is a creek and a cave as the main hall. The Masked Moon Sect is a couple of rocks on a big rock, their ship is also a rock. The Joint Pleasure Sect is a single tree on a grassland.
You might question (probably not), why are they showing Nangong Wan eating a bowl of chestnuts multiple times? It's a subtle joke: Bowl = (Nangong) Wan; Chestnut = (Han) Lizi
As a person who watched the donghua and watching this. At this point i don't even understand whats going on anymore....This…
Nothing hard to understand, it follows the exact plot points on the dot. Some just follow the novel more, and some are made more watery as tradition for a drama.
I can't, the Masked Moon Sect is a single rock, and their ship is also a single rock, lol. The rear cabin of this thing must be hidden under that other rock.
Had to see this for myself when I saw the 4.3 on douban and I kind of agree. This one was hard to get into, the cgi is so bad at the start and it's very draggy until they get to Qionghua to solve some mysteries. Gladly romance wasn't the focus in here like most xianxia, but Mengli would've made a more interesting FL.
It started off pretty interesting in the village, but after that it's so much nonsense filler dialogue and sideplots that there's barely any progress many episodes in. There is no sense of urgency when they keep getting sidetracked. The fight scenes and the setting were still interesting enough for me to keep watching though.
What an amazing rewatch, wuxia adventure stories never get old, Xiao Yu'er is still as funny and Hua Wuque is still as chill. Forgot more than I expected though. One of the two netflix cdramas that started my journey during covid, those were the simpler drama addict times, can't believe it's been nearly 5 years already. Anyway, also still love the OST, been listening to the songs on and off throughout these years.
Do we know if this will adapt the full story, or can we expect a season 1 kind of thing without a guarantee of…
This season will only cover the Tiannan (天南) arc, deducing from the length and characters that have been announced. And that is not even close to the full story (15%), like a little drop in the Scattered Star Seas as one might say.
It tries to be a detective drama or maybe not, but either way, the cases are poorly executed. There's basically no suspense or logic, Li Lianhua is omniscient, and Fang Duobing keeps suddenly solving the cases in his long explanations with conclusions out of nowhere. Also the fight choreo is pretty mediocre.
Anyways, had some expectations with how popular and highly rated it is on douban, but not my cup of tea. Could be the contrast with Strange tales of Tang dynasty that I watched recently.
Xue Huan only guest actor this season, just like the Princess and ex-Crown PrinceHe only appear in the last case…
Rolled my eyes instantly when he showed up out of nowhere 😂 The lack of involvement of the princess and crown prince really made the cases less interesting in this season.
Half way into season 2, and it's still as good as season 1, though the cases in season 1 were more interesting and deeper. Have to say I'm glad that that annoying kid Xue Huan isn't in here so far.
It was funny to see some interesting guest stars. Li Zongheng and Zhang Baiqiao during the Mo's Inn arc, they're huge on douyin. And especially He Gang during the last arc, he always plays Di Renjie in the webmovies.
I've been waiting so long for a Jin Yong (like) wuxia and this couldn't be better. So many episodes and so many familiar faces (luckily barely any idols), I so can't wait to watch this
