Drama Addict

And not to be missed: Nirvana in Fire

Agreed. But if a fairy and a merman became demons, and Floral Valley became Demon Valley that is kind of out of wack - the writer should make a bit more effort. And I presume the novel is in Chinese, so it won't help with the English synopsis.

I knew that. My sources were always: I had watched it. Often the silly editor refused to accept that. And I told them to go watch the drama if they wanted to argue with me. So I gave up on them.

The synopses of Chinese dramas on mydramalist need to be polished up - a lot of inaccuracies in the stories and use of words. The Taoist hierarchy of 'gods' are not really matched in English language but use of gods, deities, fairies and demigods could make the hierarchy a bit clearer. YunHe is not a demon master; she is more of a fairy or demigods. And the merman is not a demon. It is not Demon Valley but Floral Valley. Has the writer watched the drama before writing?

Should name it 'The Eternal Wait'. :)

This drama is taking a long time to be released.

I leave you to find out... lol... Don't want to spoil the suspense for you.

Watch it and let me know what you think. Don't watch the beginning and ending trailer - spoil the suspense.

This drama is really good and I am surprised at some of the extreme negative reviews about. It looks like this drama evokes extreme reactions - you either hate it or love it. There are some imperfection you could nitpick at, of course, as with most dramas. But on the whole it is very well produced. My other half does not like watching long dramas, but for this, he actually sat down and watch most part of it with me. I was unsure of how to rate it after I watched it the first time. But when I watched it again the second time, I am convinced how good it is and appreciate it more. I would even place it in the same league as Nirvana in Fire or Ten Mile Peach Blossom, although not in the same genre as the latter. A tip to viewers: do not watch or read any spoilers - it takes away the suspense - the starting and ending snapshots already gave away too much.

A realistic ending is a good start - not trying to manipulate the ending to suit the audience or promote the drama. However, having said that, I favour a drama where the good (even if a little flawed/cunning but well intentioned) and smart eventually wins, but am alright with the sacrifice of the foolish/side characters and defeat of the evil. Righteousness should prevail.

You must watch the Untamed, a fantasy drama. That's my all time favourite. Btw I gather you are based in US?

This drama story is not well developed. That doctor scene led to nothing - it's almost like an entire episode was deleted - or it is just to keep viewers watching.

This is quite an average drama. Skip to the end and finish it off. You won't miss much.

If one is angry, perhaps some comedy would help. Laugh it away... :)

thank you for the info. I don't like tragedies - spoil my mood. Nirvana in Fire gave me a sick feeling for 2 days.

Can someone tell me whether this drama has a tragic ending?

Let me know how you find it.

If I cannot go on even after enduring 3 ep, it is enough for me to know I don't like it. I hardly ever drop a drama that early.

You gave up too soon. This drama is not a continuation of Ten Mile Peach Blossom. The initial 10-15 episodes look like a remake but actually this drama develops along a different story line. Some viewers said it is closer to the original novel. But it get betters further into the story as it gets clearer it has a different plot. Perhaps you can skip the initial few episodes and watch the later ones more seriously.
