Finding a reliable source with good subtitles and image quality can be challenging. Myanime.live is my go-to option because it offers both. I also watch content on Bilibili and other platforms like YouTube if they have a playlist available. I prefer legal streaming sites, but it can be difficult to find decent English subtitles that aren’t poorly generated by AI.

UPMEDIA is a gossips paps online news. These sources gather information from various places and tend to amplify it. I came across one article claiming that Yang Yang was overweight and lost 7 kg, while another article stated he lost 10 kg, and yet another claimed he lost 12 kg for this drama.
It’s important to remember that many actors in china are placed on a pedestal, especially if they are extremely thin. Unfortunately, both male and female actors can struggle with anorexia. This reflects a concerning reality.
Yang yang is 180, over 30 and healthy. That’s my opinion.

It is said that the production fee of "The Legend of Immortal Cultivation" was 300 million yuan (about NT$1.32 billion), including 200 million yuan (about NT$880 million) was spent on special effects, which made the audience shout that it was very worth it!
The new drama "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation," starring Yang Yang, the popular lead actor from mainland TV, and Jin Chen from "Qing Yu Nian," quickly became a hit upon its recent broadcast. Jin Chen, who did not appear in the first four episodes, finally made her debut in the fifth episode, portraying "Nangong Wan," the elder of the Moon Sect. While dressed in white, many fans of the original animation expressed their dissatisfaction with her portrayal, feeling it deviated too much from the original character. Some viewers believe that the supporting character "Mo Caihuan," played by Zhao Qing, aligns more closely with the source material, providing a refreshing and unique interpretation.
Additionally, Jin Chen's delivery of her lines has drawn criticism for being unclear and lacking expressiveness, which some viewers found off-putting. There have also been rumors suggesting that Jin Chen was unhappy with Yang Yang's addition to the cast, leading to tension between them. This tension seemed to be evident during a promotional event.
In the lead-up to the broadcast, Yang Yang had been actively promoting the show on Weibo, posting frequently, while netizens noted that Jin Chen had only shared three posts about the drama, two of which were made on the same day. Critics pointed out that Jin Chen's posts were less frequent and lacked the enthusiasm seen in Yang Yang's numerous updates, including four consecutive posts on the premiere day. Furthermore, some observers found it noteworthy that Jin Chen used her platform to promote her friend's new film, "Lychee in Chang'an," rather than focusing solely on "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation," which may hint at her less favorable view of the show's promotional efforts.
"The Legend of Mortal Cultivation" points 9. Full play live shooting! The special effects alone cost 200 million yuan.
Spend 200 million to create special effects! The whole play of "The Legend of Immortal Cultivation of Mortals" is shot in real-life, specially going to Xinjiang and Guizhou to shoot on the field, instead of relying on green screen technology, and using a lot of aerial shots. According to media reports, more than 1,300 people in the whole group took nearly 160 days to shoot, traveling to Zhejiang Hengdian, Xinjiang Ili Nalati, Xinjiang Karamay Ulheng. The shop and Guizhou Lychee and other seven places made the picture magnificent and realistic
He escapes to another world, spends hundreds of years wandering. He escapes again and returns to the original world, where he learns she will have a forced marriage. He arrives just in time, and they elope. However in the novel he has few wives, concubine and lovers. Some do not achieve immortality. But she is his true first love, so she stay alive.
If the drama writers were the ones who billed WC as a main character in this live drama, then i would reckon this…
I agree. They seem to be added to the main roles primarily due to their stardom popularity. For example, Zhao Qing has very little screen time. I have been misled many times on MDL.
Master Mo has way more screen time in 3 full episodes and he is labeled guest role.…

In my opinion, they should stop at the end of volume 3, chapter 363 (when he escapes into another world using the transportation). This would be the perfect bittersweet ending. I believe that at the end of this season, they will announce the next two seasons. But this is my opinion only.

You may visit fandom but I noticed few errors. Overall, it is good. Gives also info regarding relationships (wives, concubines, lovers), friends and masters
