Missing dramas to watch, i had to re-watch this one:) Would love a S2 tho i know that all plot from the novel has been done. Seldom do i find dramas that have 3 male characters that are equally charismatic and good to portray their roles. After a second rewatch, i still feel that they did Dora dirty with her ending since it felt unexpected..

Does anyone know of any dramas similar to this? I lost count of how many times i re watched Nirvana In Fire! The fact that there aren't any meaningless romances, but full on plot, smart strategies, brotherhood feeling and very well done presented characters, makes this drama have a very special place in my list!

OOOOOOOO!I am in heaven with so much content in this fandom! Thank you for telling me!

Pretty sure they actually planned this drama waayyy before MDZS was ever written, not talking about filming it. I remember when the novel was at about 12 volumes( and BL wasn't as censured in China as it's today), that producers talked with the writer about how they can make it happen to avoid the time traveling theme/soul transmigration which at that time was not allowed( think even now it's not), or if they should just cast a female lead in replacement of the MC. :))) The fandom was chaos afterwards:))) Personal opinion here, but only series that can second or ever overcome The Untamed is Heaven Official's Blessing which is ever bigger as a fandom in China and the expectations for it are huuge. So huge that they don't even dare to say a name for the cast to not be destroyed by fans not liking it

:) I checked your watch list which is mostly Korean dramas, so if you'll watch this, you will probably be a tiny bit confused with the political historical aspect of this drama. As for interesting points of the drama..well..In case you like a very smart male lead which has a weak health constitution( due to the past which is actually the main idea from where the revenge theme starts), and who is like a puppetmaster manipulating everyone, then this one is for you!. Drama has barely no romance, maybe around 10%, has lots of brotherhood feelings, and nice looking (in my opinion) male leads that know their way around acting. To this day, this drama is considered a masterpiece in China. Also, if you give it a try, first 2-3 episodes are slow due to the plot being slowly discovered, while most kdramas are short and enter straight in action

I got myself into a discord group for HOB and it's full of wonderful people that share everything that appears also! I also heard of Luhan as a possibility and also Dong Sicheng and Xu Kai!! Of course all are rumors. On the other hand, Xie Lian's birthday in on 15 July and the manhua will start again to be uploaded on that day! Also, another trailer for anime might be released also or maybe a release date! I'll leave here the link for the latest trailer for the manhua for people who might want to watch them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m--OJ-vcY50

Ohh and yeah! Forgot to add this pic which i think is a good representation of the Nie clan:))https://66.media.tumblr.com/6611637d72de43618ed72a929bce3025/tumblr_pk6uy6nNIn1s3ix3bo1_1280.jpg A butcher clan at it's finest!

:D You're welcome!:D He sure is an underappreciated character but truly interesting!

:)))) Enter an even bigger rabbit hole and start heading towards to the next work of the same author: Heaven Official's Blessing! Novel is fully translated over here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oXnp5Y2OD70i78utu4BcQ3xgAlygypd0 Manhua link you can also find over there in one of the docs, with new releases in July. Animation coming this year probably in October! Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV12r5Hs7Kg :D Live-action is in production also!:D Good luck, fellow sufferer!

He is considered as the mastermind or the puppeteer of the drama because of these reasons: 1.) The sought justice for the death of his brother, Nie Mingjue and unraveled all happenings of the past. 2.) He bought back our main lead, Wei Wuxian, by manipulating Mo XuanYu, the boy who sacrificed his body to WWX. 3.) He bought justice, while manipulating Wei Wuxian, to his DaGe, Yanli - the Jiang sister and her husband, Jin Zixuan. 4.) Again, with manipulation, he found proof of the fact that Meng Yao was the one who killed his own father, the fact that he married his own sister and killed his own son who was a product of incest. 5.) He unraveled the truth of the Yi City and the murders that Xue Yang had done and implicitly, he found justice to Song Lan and Xiao XingChen. What makes him really smart is the way he did all of this buy staying in the shadows and manipulating each and every move of Wei Wuxian to make each step accordingly to his plan, and all of this to make Meng Yao suffer. I would recommend to watch Fatal Journey, a movie that happens after WWX's death and until his resurrection. A very heavily complex character that even the author of the novel said that if there would have been a new Chef Cultivator, then she would have chosen Huaisang:)

Anyone who knows any good reliable news about the production yet? My Chinese translated webpages don't help too much:))) And although I know that covid slowed down a lot the production of most dramas, I also know that China tends to drop all of the sudden dramas anytime with not news or promotions whatsoever:)) Like what happened with The Untamed ( no ads, no nothing, until suddenly 12 hr prior they posted the trailer and poster and BANG! Episodes released later that day:)))) Really excited about HOB and hope it will do the novel justice! Manhua is gorgeous and cannot wait for new releases in July also! I would say that the actor for Hua Cheng will be the hardest especially since he will portray San Lang appearance also, so he needs to be able to look both younger and mature at the same time. Ohhh and Wind Master!! With double gender!!:)) I would bet that censorship will make him more female than male but I have my hopes us!

I cannot speak for others, but for me, this drama is pure feels. The cinematography, in my opinion, brings nostalgia and a raw feeling of how opera singers suffered in that time period. The slice of life genre is truly refreshing for me, considering how many dramas nowadays are only fantasy and school love stories. I admit that if i was younger( when my main genres were fantasy and the like), maybe i wouldn't have enjoyed the drama as much as i do now. If by episode 9 you weren't dragged into the story line, then it just isn't resonating with you and your tastes.

There isn't because the novel doesn't exists:) This drama was made from scratch, not adapted from any novel.

Ahhh~ Thank you! Good news then! Really thought they will leave us like that. Too bad that Wu Xie's actor changed since the one from TLT2 was portraying him real well:) Fatty Wang also..

Anyone knows if this will be a direct continuation to TLT? Because that cliffhanger still keeps my head spinning haha

Haha:)) Well, there is also a game haha:D(or they announced one). But for now mostly available for China territory only .

The drama had its own ending while the novel has another. In the novel, they don't split apart; they remain together and do what fans like to say : dual cultivation haha:D aka they sleep together. In the drama, it's slightly different. It's mostly based on our perception; I would say that they met after some time after splitting apart since Lan Wangji was made Chef Cultivator and he needed to do his duties since the cultivation world was slightly in chaos after Meng Yao died, while in the novel, there wasn't a new Chef chosen( but the author said that she would have made Huaisang the new leader).

This is on the Upcoming drama list of Iqiqi for quite some time. Apparently it should have aired in 2019 already. Most likely it will appear before the summer ends, hopefully even beginning of June

Usually i try to watch more before dropping a drama but unfortunately, I see myself putting this on Drop folder after watching only 12 episodes..Don't know why but it's not very much feeling in the drama. Like, acting wise and plot story. I really like Su Tang's character and love Arthur but he might not have been the best choice for this drama; that, or it's simply the storyline for his character that bothers me. It's just that whenever something big is happening, I don't see many emotions being given from him on certain scenes. Music and production value it's ok, good for a wuxia drama.

Haha:)) I believe you:)) so many info's are intertwined with the opinion of fans and what they consider as canon that it's easy to mistake information hehe.
