That music with XS and every line he says in the throne room.....just goosebumps! So powerful!
I like how often he does not bow and is not scared of his dad unlike all of those other dramas where the alpha male prince main character suddenly becomes a kitten when facing their emperor fathers.
For those who finished the anime and the drama, which one do you like better in terms of story. My husband finished…
The drama has a lot of conversation scenes where the characters have to change facial expressions. The cartoon is limited in that area so the animators made them have the same face or the same smile a lot of times. Xiao se had the same melancholy look Lei Wu jie looked more like a goof ball Ye Ru yi was this innocent fragile flower. The cartoon did have more crazy fight scenes. The show pushed their cgis to reach that level
I read that the drama is quite a success in China. The comments here are also majority positive. So I think people…
yeah but youku seems to delaying it for some reason. The trailers and onset videos on all bilibili and youtube. Just watch the cartoon on tencent, it's one of its core shows now.
anyone who reads the novel, could you explain a little bit about "the battle of 8 lords" past event?
In the prequel it's not that big of event. The prequel political part was mostly about the previous xiao emperor with an inferiority complex trying to take control of the martial arts world by using Langye king because he has a lot of friends and respects in that world. The various conflicts allowed Tianwaitian formed by the remnants of the neighbor country to slowly enter into the beili martial arts world. The emperor pretty much went too far and couldnt get anything done and things kept getting worse even after he died. His succession was a mess too. Thats why you a bunch of idiot princes fighting over the throne.
The previous emperor also betrayed his friends before ascending to the throne and treated Langye king way worse than the current one treating xiao se.
Not as many as the prequel. No one else good will die at this point
no drama, just the cartoons. Youku is going to make the Baili Dong jun prequel next if this show is successful. That one has more deaths and bloody battles
I think the blind one is ambitious purely out of childhood revenge. Never crossed his mind that XS was the intended…
This is fantasy xianxia wuxia stuff. No idea what they actually mean by transplant. It's like the same thing in Naruto. No one knows what actually got transplanted

Then there is Jun You Yun, εζδΊ, the one 200 years prior that laid the foundation of the martial arts world from their xianxia origins.
