This is a Hogwarts x Hunger Games crossover 😳😢🥺

Very good write up. As you may know, both donghua and this drama are being made by the same team (shown in BTS video) and adopted from the same source novel (well, multiple books). So some things in the live action adaptation may be different and closer to the novel (people who read the book seem to think drama is pretty close to the novel except the harem part, likely due to censorship rules). With regards to romance, if I didn’t know HL & NW were a future pair, I’d not see any romantic hints between them. NW rejected HL at the trial and doesn’t really think much of him through 10 episodes. But maybe that’s different perspectives between a donghua watcher and a typical romance-drama watcher ☺️

We all joke but apparently that is how their outfits were described in the novel 😳

This feels like a passion project by a team without a huge budget. Based on BTS, live-action is being made by the same team as animated version (donghua) and they have been at it for 10+ years.

I’m glad everyone said to not expect much romance — our hero is completely disinterested in it so far. And the writer even made sure to place Han Li in a separate sect from Nangong Wan. Not that NW is very impressed by HL so far. Maybe Episode 11 will change that a bit.

For now — yes. There’s nothing about how much of the novel will be adapted and if there’s going to be another season. Maybe they will end at a satisfying point and just put a link to the donghua version 😁

It was a real jade but he may have been too weak to use it fully. So she helped to heal him by using her powers to completely withdraw poison. At least, that’s what I understood without having read the novel.

It gets better starting with Episode 3. Fair point about CGI/VFX — it’s not very impressive, especially during flying/soaring scenes. But watching it for the story and so far it’s solid through first 10 episodes.

Thank you! Wow, 11 books… no wonder it’s so long 😳🤓

He should have hit up more stores before going to the hunger games 🤣

They’ve actually done a good job at not making us remember a million names here. They do show a lot of people but knowing their names doesn’t feel necessary (other than Han Li). There are no long dialogues with a bunch of names thrown around, everything is pretty easy to follow without having to refer to character chart 🤓

We don’t know yet (officially nothing has been revealed). But the novel is very long and animated version is 150+ episodes already, so people are thinking 30 episodes will not be enough.

It’s a name of his friend from earlier episodes (1-3).

Do we know what happened to fifth wife (wife #2, I think)? Drama only showed four wives. Just curious if there’s a secret behind it or if I should ignore it :)

Fiest time Han Li called himself Li Feiyu.

Shopping scene in Episode 9 was very funny. It was also the first time Han Li… (spoiler ⬇️)

Leopard-print outfits for one of the sects ate up most of VFX budget 😂

And very low survival rates too 😳

Han Li really is weaker than many others and it takes him longer to progress because his spirit root has 4 elements (less elements = easier to level up).
