Not sure precisely in what way you mean similar, but..
I agree with Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty.
Also perhaps try:
Sword Dynasty;
Sleuth of Ming Dynasty;
Ancient Detective I started and it seemed good, but I just never got around to continuing it;
Luoyang; and of course
The Untamed.

Joy of Life, season 1 of Ever Night, The Moon Brightens for You, Legend of Fei, and The Rise of Phoenixes, just because I enjoyed them but they're not that similar.

I feel like he's using his actual voice in this production, so I'm assuming a voice-over actor was used in the previous production.

Well that was a bust.

Paid for a standard subscription. No access. Used the vpn to change location to different countries. Still no access. Upgraded to the premium subscription. Repeat change location process. Still no access.

What's frustrating is that I can see the episodes are there when I'm not logged in (free for premium, additional cost for standard), yet whenever I log into my iqiyi account the option to access the additional episodes disappears.

I'm in Australia, don't know if it's a region lock thing, perhaps based on payment address rather than ip address.

Much appreciated, thanks.

Am trying to decide whether or not to shell out for the VIP subscription to finish the series now rather than waiting.

Can anyone tell me:
1) Are all the remaining episodes, including the extras, fully translated?
2) What was the cost in whatever currency for gaining access to the remaining episodes?

Thanks in advance.

Danmei, BL.

To-mae-to, to-mah-to.

The distinction is inconsequential.

For me, when reading Untamed the sexual relationship always felt like an insert to satisfy a certain portion of the audience. The story still worked fantastically without it.

Two characters can have deep affection for each other without it needing to be sexual, and that deep affection can be the basis for a great story. Audience members who want to fantasize any particular way can, and will, do so with or without it being depicted.

I feel the same way about Heaven Officials Blessing. With or without the sexual aspect, it's a great story.

I just want to see it on screen. Bedamned the twisted panties of the censors.

If it is at the point where the censors are not basing their decisions on just the actual production but also the source material, then c-dramas are in for a lacklustre future.

I dunno why everyone and the censors are going mad over the BL aspect. Untamed wasn't good because it was based on a BL story. It was good because it was good story.

As this one could be if they just got around to releasing it.

Argh! This wait is sooo frustrating.

Only half way through each episode I feel like it should be the end of the episode already. Not because it's bad, but because it's good. They've really cut all that superfluous padding with this one.

The soundtrack keeps me coming back to this series.

The fact that's a good story well told keeps me loving it. ;)

There's a part of the story that I don't think is that well depicted in the series. Perhaps its mentioned near the end, I can't recall. That is : she's supposed to be beaten down and become stronger through adversity throughout the story. Each trial of adversity she goes through is supposed to have her one step closer to becoming the key person that sets the big bad free from his prison at the end - and which is why Wuji was commanded to kill her as soon as he found her. These trials she goes through are often other people failing her - to cause her, in the end, to lose trust in others and be willing to set the evil free. So being weak and needing help nearer the start is part of the story development.

1. Yes
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.

Basically food porn wrapped in a light and fluffy historical romance with any dramatic tension resolved within 2 or 3 episodes. Something to watch if you're absolutely stressed to the max and want a drama that'll soothe you.

1. Yes
2. Great. One of my favorite re-watchable c-dramas, even with the plagiarism concerns.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.

1. Depends on your perspective
2. Confused. Very long story cut into a 2hr movie. They spent a lot of money on the movie, so it's very very pretty, but ultimately the story suffers because of the condensed time to tell it. Watch the series instead.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.

But seriously, watch the series instead. I note you've also posted this list of questions under the series' page comments.

Woah.

Wrong time of the month?

Never mind. Don't bother answering. I really don't want to know.

Lol, go have a look at the number of comments on the 'Immortality' page ... and that one doesn't even have a release date yet!

XD

My condolences to you for having to read her character in the novel then.

:)

Haven't seen 'Love Between Fairy and Devil'?

Seriously, it's gotten to the point where I just heard a doctor tell the male lead not to use his powers until he recovers his health, and instantly I know, I just absolutely know, that's EXACTLY what she'll cause him to do.

Ugh, her character is just so stupid.

I've struggled to episode 27. The struggle is all because of her. I don't blame the actress. The character is just so stupidly written. All the inane things she does just to bleed some extra drama out of the script. I came to visit MDL to see if there was any reason to continue the struggle with the remaining 13 episodes.

I really don't get it. It's clearly a good production. All the actors are putting in thir best. The special effects and costuming is all done well. The music isn't particularly memorable, but still some effort is there as well. Why would they put such overall effort into a production just to have such a halfwitted female lead character?

I'd really regret missing the rest of the plot development as presented through the other characters, but I'm so fed up with her I think I'll skip to the final two episodes.

I'm more of a fantasy/sci-fi person, but if the story is actually good, I'll give anything a go.

I read the synopsis and thought 'they're just using the fantasy intro aspect to rope additional viewers in, but it's just an idol vehicle ... meh'.

Any particular aspect of this series that you think viewers like me will enjoy to the finish?
