Wuxia to watch

The king of wuxia palace intrigue series, gotta wait till I'm able to deal with the angst

54 episodes

A wuxia story based on mystery and, well, gayness? Sign me up.

36 episodes

A 13 episode wuxia mystery with a bromance is indeed my sort of thing, except I am very curious about Word of Honor and I try not to watch similar series too close to one another.

Sweet romance, they say

36 episodes so I might check it out.

This one just feels too weird. Is it fantasy? Is it a live action anime? Everyone says it's got good fight scenes so they slapped the wuxia tag in it, but it FEELS xianxia

20 episodes, though. I should check it out

I just love this book too much, even with all the weird transphobic stuff

And 37 episodes? Why the hell not?

Pure juice of wuxia, even if the reviews all wished it was pure romance (you can tell from the words they use. Also, what moves a person to watch a series for a single actor and SKIP SCENES when they're not on? Pathological)

56 episodes AND has a sequel, or I'd already have watched it

Seems a bit like a Robin Hood affair and there is nothing wrong with that, but it also doesn't sparks joy.

Still, only 30 episodes and starring Wallace Huo, so up the list it goes

Palace intrigue, but comedic. They say it's smart, but I have issues with comedy

45 episodes

4 cute martial artists, some investigating, some romance, some angst. Seems good.

48 episodes

No one has anything very dramatic to say about this one, besides some incoherent comments about actors' looks. It's based on a classic book, though.

42 episodes

This seems actually good, even if not very much  wuxia. Still, it's got fights and struggles, so it fits the list.

48 episodes, so a middle of the list type of thing.

Palace intrigue AND 49 episodes long even though it was merciless cut

50 episodes and well-liked, but it's not been too long since I last read Condor Heroes so I'll wait a bit

54 episodes of properly produced classic story. Only it seems to be the Wrong Take on this book and I haven't even read the book, so I'll wait.

One of them more modern fantasy-world wuxia stories. I'm not sure if it is adventure with romance in it or romance with adventure in it. There is a difference. When I have the courage to check I'll try it out.

56 episodes (uff)

Classic fantasy style Orphan Boy Is Actually Overpowered. Sounds a bit generical, but since any fantasy/wuxia drama with a male lead is considered fantastic by the local reviewers I can't quite tell if it's Actually Bad. I mean, The Taoism Grandmaster was much better than it had it right to be, so hey this one could as well.

*sigh*

I just want a plot based on choices not fate.

52 episodes

It's tagged wuxia and has a jianghu as well as Weird Techniques That Border On Magic, but it seems to be more palace intrigue oriented than not. Still, seems good.

53 episodes, though

Now this one feels 100% generical, even if it is probably the trope generator for some stuff found in later dramas, so instead of rolling my eyes I should just watch it 

 (chinese dramas take storylines and setpieces from one another, so keeping up with the times is important)

Still, 45 episodes and a second season

This is another one of the trope originators, though you can tell it (and most wuxia drama from the same year) has a bit too much influence from The Hunger Games. 

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I started watching this one and dropped it without ever changing the status in here. And I'm pretty sure I dropped it because of the crapsack world.

36 episodes, I should just try.

Highly recommended as an example of wuxia dramas from that era. Also, Fox Volant is just awesome, love that story.

40 episodes

Now sometimes you just know a drama will make you cry and you kinda protect your heart from it by leaving it on the PTW list forever. This is one of them.

46 episodes and a sequel

A serious historical wuxia.

38 episodes

Based on a Gu Long novel and seemingly not the best adaptation, so no rush.

36 episodes but doesn't seems to be in any streaming site

Seems to have a Bad Ending AND involve a Love Polygon, so it's been reviewed into oblivion

42 episodes

Level of generic: in Grimdark World, Lone Survivor becomes guardian of Baby Girl, then Meets Royalty and ends up in Hogwarts.

The only reason I might watch this is what I said in the Fights Break Sphere entry, and in this case I'm in no rush at all bc 60 episodes and MULTIPLE SEASONS (with recasts lol)

A classic. Doesn't seems to be available anywhere though.

40 episodes

Another classic, also not easy to find.

43 episodes

Someone told me to watch this so I added it to my list. It seems... Nice?

40 episodes
