Hunter2022

I haven't actually started watching the drama yet. I previewed a bit of ep 31. Not another grave digging up scene. Those kinds of drama are very cliche and boring. Let me guess some family member objects to the grave being dug up. There is a big verbal fight. Finally the hero uses his authority to enforce the grave digging on the family member. The family then silently watches in awe as new clues appear. Easy 30 minutes of screen time with little writing effort.

All C-dramas are like this. The plot gets stupidly dumb 10 episodes in. That's how you fill up ~40 episodes of screen time to make money.

On the other hand just think of it like this: They pay those actors and actresses handsomely. They must be tortured or made to suffer the acting out of silly (sub-) plots.

Original Force studio is rather funny. They took their sweet time to delay the Donghua to upgrade to Unreal Engine 5. Oops, by the time they just start using it, Unreal Engine 6 is already out!

I never understood why they had to upgrade to UE5. Whatever they were using before was already stellar! I also never understood why China has to rely on Unreal Engine at all, which could be cut off anytime via sanctions and not make their own engine!

Guys that make it big in C-ent based solely on their looks and zero acting skills are boring. The other boring type is they just say some one liner and subsequently become overnight success story: Leo Wulei and his one liner in Nirvana in Fire "hmph, pian ren!"

But Mo Caihuan is dead after that and her reincarnation will interact with Han Li again later on. Regardless of whether she married and that was her child or not that was IT between her and Han Li in that lifetime.

They botched this part about Yang Yang being ordinary while doing the opposite. Han Li is not supposed to be a lady killer by looks. He's just an average guy with immense talent for cultivation. That's y the ladies fall for him for his talents. The right thing they should have done was make Yang Yang look less prettyboyish with makeup or costumes that makes him look more ordinary.

Try asking Deepseek. It's "read" all volumes of the novel and scoured all forum topics on the drama or Donghua.

Not gonna happen. Most C dramas lose viewership in subsequent sequels. There is no sane investor want to put more money into a sequel.

Donghua is top for me. I didn't like the drama all that much. I can't believe they botched the daisy field scene with Chen sister (there was not a single daisy where they met). That was one of the coolest part of the S1 Donghua.

They have an official Channel on YT where u can watch all past episodes for free. Maybe subscribers can get the latest episode first...

People who wear masks on their avatar are either:

1. Ugly as hell.

2. Paid agents. They don't want you to recognize them if u encounter them in real life.

If u are an authentic commenter, do NOT wear the mask in your avatar.

Of course, if you are doing it for reason #1, then by all means :D :D :D

Drama did worse than Princess Agents 2:

弃剧：看完11集弃剧，武侠质感和意境虽有，武打场面拍得也还行（没有诟病的慢镜头，但也谈不上很精彩），但剧情是越看越无趣（看到11集完全没有吸引力了），完全不走心。三人帮（展昭、白玉堂、霍玲珑）虽然好看顺眼（章若楠脸蛋是真好看），无奈剧情无趣也是徒劳了。番外：正午阳光首部武侠剧。第8集三人帮（展昭、白玉堂、霍玲珑）成型，幕后大反派（襄阳王）已显山露水（37集的剧8集就摊牌，太早了），其扮演者感觉气场太弱了。

Abandoned the drama: I quit watching after 11 episodes. The martial arts vibe and artistic conception were there, and the fight scenes were okay (no criticized slow-motion shots, but not particularly exciting either), but the plot became increasingly uninteresting (by episode 11, it was completely unappealing), showing no effort at all. The trio (Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Huo Linglong) was visually pleasing (Zhang Ruonan's face is really beautiful), but unfortunately, with an uninteresting plot, it was all in vain. Extra: The first wuxia drama by Daylight Entertainment. By episode 8, the trio (Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Huo Linglong) had formed, and the main behind-the-scenes villain (King of Xiangyang) had started to show his presence (revealing the villain in episode 8 of a 37-episode drama is too early). The actor playing him seemed to have a weak aura.

If u been following PA2 on Drama Panda, you knew PA2 received massive backlash for its ending on Douban... That becoz people actually watched the ending! :D

Even this guy pays attn to me everywhere, I feel like I'm being stalked...

BTW, if only myself reply to my own comments, then how do you explain those two other ppl or comments here?

Sometimes, I REALLY do wish people would stop following me everywhere in other comments sections! As if I'm some super popular (but hated) celebrity they needed to comment on.

P.S hate is a form of love, if you catch my drift...

Lol was I talking to you? And right, if it suits your argument, Douban will crack down on it, if it doesn't back up what you say, Douban just lets those posters be...

I'm gonna blow all my money on Yang Yang but won't spend a cent to promote it. That's some sound business plan there! You think investors just dumped money into the drama like that? Or they had a secret meeting about distancing themselves from "appearing" to actively promote the drama?

Princess Agents 2 was released last month (finished airing). You telling me Douban still does not suppress fake 1's all this time? :P

Some food for thought. These days it's almost too easy for the shadow company to tell AI to write 1000's of fake glowing reviews, esp when they are given all 37 episodes source videos in advance by the production company that hired them to feed to their AI agent

You literally won't be able to tell if it was the AI or human that watched all 37 episodes before expressing their thoughts...

Unfortunately, the company still lost to the crowd. Zhan Zhao has about 70k votes on Douban. To move the score by a fair amount, the company would need to fake at least 20k, which is a daunting task. Explains why 3/5 still has the most votes:

5/5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
4/5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3/5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2/5 xxx
1/5 x

Certain MDL users are maliciously spreading lies. Douban does NOT ban "fake" 1/5 (ie. Fan hate). They certainly won't ban fake 4/5 and 5/5 cooked and paid for by the shadow promotion company.

Just take a look at the very recent Princess Agents 2 Rebirth. Douban allowed users to "fake" 1/5 to their heart's content...

https://m.douban.com/movie/subject/36809858/

5/5 x
4/5 x
3/5 xx
2/5 xxxxxxxx
1/5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They certainly won't do anything about companies that pay a shadow company to post 4/5 and 5/5 votes!

But your argument don't make sense. If your saying doubsn deletes fake 1's, then why did Princess Agents 2 rating contains mostly 1's?

I never seen such a shameless company as the one that made Zhan Zhao Adventures.
