Lol! You just mentioned my all time fav Chinese dramas! I do have a feeling that Winter Begonia will turn dark pretty soon tho! Trying to watch Tiensyn Mystic right now ( while waiting for Winter Begonia to update) and it seems pretty decent also! Gives me a The Lost tomb vibe which is also a must watch for mystery and brotherhood lovers!

:)))) So true! Lol! I liked Eunuch Gao and also though of him! Apparently many historical stuff from this drama are real. Like the emperor, the consort (who in real life actually did exactly like the drama said: make sure that all lovers of the emperor would have forced abortions) and many details.

Yep, you are right with Xianxia for The Untamed..tho for some reason the novel is more xianxia than the actual drama which borrows elements from both genre because of how complex Wei Wuxian is as a character:)). Thinking of this drama as a adventure-martial art genre is better since I haven't really saw even the author of the novel categorize it as wuxia genre tho is fits, kinda with some tropes (we still don't know if there will be romance between any leads since this was adapted from a BL novel so there's that). Aishhh..Don't mention NIF! I watched it so many times that my heart still wants more Xiao Shu and Jingyan.

While I cannot comment on your opinion of the drama which I respect since everyone is entitled to their own, I can comment however on the genre: since when is this wuxia? Wuxia implies more of supernatural, extra skills, while this is your basic ..hmm..let's say Kong Fu/Martial Arts Jackie Chan style. All the wuxia or xianxia dramas I ever watched have that fantastic genre added to them, like..hmm..flying on the sword or actually flying :))Take, for example, The Untamed which is wuxia and has the cultivation to immortality stuff where soul can be shredded. Maybe I got it wrong or someone can help explain if this is really wuxia. Also, lol:)) I agree with the "sleuth"word. Sound a tiny bit weird:D. The Longest Day in Chang'an is in a league of its own. Plot wise and drama production. Kinda want to watch it again..

:) Glad i was able to help! :))) I hate watching dramas on my phone! Too small of a screen and subs are even smaller! Also, if you have VIP, you can also use it on the laptop/computer also, not only app. You just need to log in and it's done:)

I haven't read the novel from which this is adapted from, so i cannot say anything regarding that, only from what i saw in the episodes and historical data. Consort Wan was the emperor's most favored consort although older than the emperor with quite some years and although no child has ever been conceived. Also, Harem issues can be solved only by the Emperor. For ministers to try and meddle in, means that they tried to meddle with the Emperor himself which was punishable with death is most cases. So, technically speaking, the Eunuch did good; followed orders if what he said was true ( and seeing the Minister's reaction, it was: framing consort Wan and scheming ). Hope that helped somehow. Maybe someone who read the novel can get more in depth with this. Also, ep 3 and 4 have been released:D

So, watched only the first 2 episodes but it really got me want to watch more! Until now, all characters are likable and that bro feeling (or shall i say triangle:)) is definitely there) So many funny moments also! Darren is doing a great job for this role! I also finally found the iqiyi international page for this drama that wouldn't show before for me. Here is it for those who have or want to buy the VIP subscription (1st month free for new users): https://www.iqiyi.com/intl/play/19rwmac43k Edit: I am currently on ep 10 and maan. It sure is hilarious! Lol:))) love the direction this drama is heading to!

My pleasure!~Enjoy watching!:) Hehe, need to watch the last episodes of Winter Begonia before starting this:D

First 2 episodes have been officially released on YT with engsub! Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkPi-wHM8SY . Update program is 2 episodes every day from Wednesday to Friday. 6 episodes in advance for those who have VIP on iQiyi. Weirdly enough, i cannot find the drama on iQiyi international desktop version. Only on the Chinese website. Maybe it's on the app as well but it doesn't show yet for me.:)

I am sooooo in love with the movie! Made The Untamed even more tragic than it already was!

Hi! I watched it at IQIYI international website. You can find the link in one of my previous comments down here. You need to have VIP membership to watch it tho. The 1st month is for free and you can cancel anytime:)

Just finished watching it, while having some hard times because of Google's connection. This! This movie is just a perfect prequel to the period of when WWX was resurrected. Caution, spoilers ahead! Visually and acting wise, in my opinion, it's better than The Living Dead (maybe because TLD is something of a small sequel with no real backstory for the main one)! The actors, especially NHS's and NMJ's did really good! Also, the relationship between NHS and Nie ZhengHui( i think i butchered his name) was a really nice delight! Love how he was the one who actually carried Huaisang's saber and Mingjue actually didn't yell at them for this!:))On the tragic note, although this doesn't happen in the novel, the fact that JGY tricked Huaisang into singing THAT song! Now that is a good but tragic addition to the story! Because basically now Huaisang can feel the guilt of causing the acceleration of death of his DaGe and the actual death of his guard and what might be head disciple! His hatred towards JGY grew over the roof! Really nice movie which i am glad was produced as The Untamed concentrated on the other sects while leaving the interesting Nie sect on the side!

:) Fatal Journey movie is officially out with engsub for those who have VIP membership. 1st month for VIP on the website is free! You can watch it here: https://www.iqiyi.com/intl/play/19rx3uuc80

It's out, everyone! You can watch it here, with engsub, for those who have VIP. 1st month is free in case anyone wonders: https://www.iqiyi.com/intl/play/19rx3uuc80

Yeah..I also noticed the subs! When there are singing/opera scenes, they only translate the songs and not the dialogues that might happen between characters.

Yeeess!! Thank you for the news!

Yes! Wonder if it will air everyday or only Friday to Sunday:D Really want to watch more episodes:)

Since I'm not VIP, up to date, I only watched 6 episodes with engsub. Up until now, I can only say that although I hate Republican era dramas, the opera part is really interesting! The costumes and sets are really intricate and you can definitely see the budget that was put into this! Also, for those who say BL has been removed from the drama: nope, still here. Of course it's not in your face, but the subtleties are waay more than enough considering the censoring. Really nice interactions so far, although a bit awkward (though that might be only because of how XiRui's character must be). Also, i feel the need to mention that I haven't read the novel so there's that! Can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes!

Not only app. For me it works on the website as well here: https://www.iqiyi.com/intl/play/19rrhwhq9t

Based on Douban, this will release 20th March. Link here: https://movie.douban.com/subject/30291088/ Douban is trustworth most of time, unless there is a delay! Crossing fingers for this to be true and to get engsub fast! A video/trailer if you like, here: https://www.iqiyi.com/v_19rww034lo.html#curid=14133173600_0122c58df5409bbe550acd2ad865b2a5 From the video, i can see many dramatic scenes, cute and comedic also, but dramatic scenes are predominant. Anyone who knows if this actually has tragedy in the genre?
