This censorship is reminding me when my country used to censor kids cartoons. Like wtf is wrong with them? God forbid a non blood related cousin to show affection to his younger cousin in a non romantic way? Hope viewers don't think the actors are the ones lacking the chemistry cause it's all on the censorship this time

Yeah, which is why I find the family he's in is very forgiving. Those are rare in historical dramas tbh, especially if they are not his own parents. Something I also liked is regarding the poem, usually the cousin would feel inferior if the ML turns out to be smarter than him but here, it's the opposite. It's even better that the cousin's parents themselves told their son to not steal it. If every family in historical dramas were as nice as them, we wouldn't be getting half the drama from them 😂 (Proceeds to remember the families of the leads from blossom)

I really love that the family he's with are all funny and supportive but mostly : very funny. Usually in this genre, a useless ML and FL has an abusive family (even before he proved his skills, the aunt was more strict than abusive, like the ones who attempt to poison their own families in historical dramas)

This is one of those rare daily dramas where the couple isn't screaming at each other like children for 30 episodes. Both FL and ML are actually not annoying which I quite like. Usually one of them is very mean or super annoying for no reason at all (seems for this drama, it's only the case with the 2nd couple)

5 episodes are released now. Love it, 5 is even better than 4. It keeps getting better

Anyone else watched the behind the scenes? Thomas was NOT acting there 😂

As much as I hate the 2nd FL, what she said to the brother is right. He shouldn't involve innocent people in his revenge plot (aside from hiding the Dubai deal, the ML has been nothing but honest and hardworking). The brother is becoming the person he's having revenge on

The actors are mature, the FL actually sounds her age and isn't stupid or annoying or poor. The plot is nice and the acting is decent. Why do all these kind of elements always happen in short series, I wouldn't mind a full length drama of this kind 😭

I actually feel bad for the ML cause he's stuck with her. It's obvious she doesn't even love him, she just treats him as a high class accessory

Tbh, compared to MLs from past family dramas, this one is pretty tame. I actually feel bad for him, his GF is still mingling with the ex even if she doesn't want to admit it and is hiding the fact that she used to date him. That's kinda rough on the ML who hasn't wronged her at all. I also hate the ex (FL's brother), like don't bring your revenge on outsiders, ML has done nothing wrong to him and it's like he's rubbing the fact that he stole his potion on his face

Aside from the FL and the kid, the ML and his mother, all the rest are trash. Some might not agree with me but this is just how i'm seeing it

I'm trying to understand who's the FL that will end up with the ML here. Based on the ending song, it seems every female here is interacting with him

Tbh, i have no problems with them, but I thought if I praised everything here, I might sound biased to some people 😂

I think i'm gonna stop watching the drama starting today and wait for all episodes. I hate it when it ends on a cliffhanger (even tho I already know the events 😂). It reminds me of the pain in the past when I used to wait till they release a new episode for the donghua. Already suffering it again with soul land 2

Tbh, LOTW deserves a part 2 just for the fact that they are following the donghua. Tang san has this much chemistry with an illusion, imagine when we get the real deal. I need every moment to last the time it deserves 🥲

For people saying S1 is better and the actors there are better. Pls don't compare them as a continuation. S1 is more of a stand alone drama that has the names and the characters right but that's it. Looks, how the weapons look, how the soul beasts look, how the characters clothes look, their personalities..etc.. are different from the actual canon donghua. As a donghua fan I couldn't bring myself to like it. Land of the warriors however even with the less than ideal soul rings and decent (instead of good or great) fight scenes. They followed the donghua in everything, even the ML act and look more like the actual tang san than xiao zhan (not hating on xiao, love him and watched almost all his dramas), same case with the FL. Some think tang san became more mature than he was in s1, but the canon tang san has been mature since he was a child. And I love that they followed through with the clothes here, same case with the skills, I saw comments saying they liked the hammer in s1 but as a donghua watcher, LOTW hammer is the most canon looking one, same thing with the blue silver, the phoenix, the tiger, the rabbit skills...etc..etc..

As a donghua watcher, this season defenitly followed the events and the characters personalities way better. It's almost an exact adaptation (minus the fight scenes beinf the exact same ofc since the budget then would be diabolical)

When you watch this drama, think of S1 as its own drama instead of a prequel. S1 that started xiao zhan didn't actually follow the canon donghua, only the names and power system. That's why tang san seems more mature to you but in reality, he was always mature since childhood. If you want to know about their actual characters, I suggest watching the animated donghuas until the final tournament arc (around 100 episodes, almost 12min each) Ofc you can also skip that if you don't want to waste time since they already show some flashbacks in this season (only few tho)

I mean, I don't think there are live action dramas that can surpass their animated counter parts especially ones like soul land. But like you said, this is definitely >>> S1

I wish they add more seasons but with the same actors from this drama so the events don't feel rushed. I actually like how they went into more details like XW friendship with the 2 soul beasts
