I'M CONFUSED. I only started watching this drama today. Didn't Xun-Er kill off Xiao Yan at the end of the previous live action drama? How can they be lovey-dovey towards each other again and Xiao Yan pretending she never fatally murdered him? Unless it's a parallel universe continuation of the previous series...
Anyways, I very much like this drama for its light-heartedness. I CHOOSE this drama over THE LAST IMMORTAL. That one I'm dropping for being too serious and unbalanced lead characters!
It's got the same art style as Longest Promise which the CCP banned from receiving a rating on Douban (or at least banned for several months after it finished airing)!
(BTW, I haven't seen this drama yet. I will see it tonight on my wall projector...
Also, anyone jumping the gun to criticize my post... Wherein I said I hate the actual drama? All I said was the intro/end credits invoke a nostalgic but suckage feeling of a recent bad Tencent drama... )
The premise of this drama is really stupid. How can candlesticks have the property of inducing time travel? This is the reason why I never watch any Korean drama... Only Koreans could come up with something so outlandish.
Also, stupider is the (Chinese) company that licenses such works for a remake.
If the script writer of THIS remake was any good, the MC would have visited a gypsy magic shop. He wanted to run away right away, but the gypsy tugged on his shirt sleeve and convinced him to stay and make some candles. THEN at least you know time travel was caused by GYPSY MAGIC not some ordinary hand-made sticks at some department store in an ordinary mall!
Yeah, me too, I was wondering how was this allowed to be made in the first place? Time travel and reincarnation…
Could be the "Tencent schedule". Hope you all know the maximum number of episodes Tencent will release is 5/week. It means 2 days out of 7 there are no new VIP episodes. Some dramas may only see 3 new episodes/wk. Anime are even worse, only 1 new episode/wk.
This drama is an EMBARASMENT to the intellectual property. The anime is like 100x more superior to this abomination of a live action. I thought DouLuo Continent live action was bad. Snow Eagle drama takes BAD to a whole new level. ALL of YOU go skip the drama and watch the anime. I guarantee you you will like the anime more than Soul Land 1 anime!
Just a few comments:1. LMAO casting Naran (mixed Russian model) as nine-tailed fox demon. No self-respecting Chinese…
BTW peeps I watched this movie on my bedroom wall using a cheap BUT good 720p projector I bought from Aliexpress. The closest thing to actually seeing the movie in the theater and more convenient too!
If you want the same exact projector I bought search HY300 projector on Aliexpress. You won't regret the purchase...
1. LMAO casting Naran (mixed Russian model) as nine-tailed fox demon. No self-respecting Chinese lady wants to be cast as someone's sex pet! I guess this is one of the negatives, they always leave the bad roles to foreigners!
2. Holy smokes we need more Nezha scenes. Those action sequences where his fire wheels come out are the best part of the movie. I haven't watched a Superman movie since Brandon Routh version (Man of Steel can go to hell). Nezha fulfills my Super-person with superpowers needs, but not enuf we need more of him flying around doing super deeds!
3. Drama has too much of Tencent bad taste in the mouth (too much sexual connotations of Su Da Ji character, too unbelievable ppl get beheaded easily then in part II they're back alive and kickin -- Just look at Joy of Life Fan Xian got stabbed straight in the ab but then in part 2 he unbelievably lives, too much confusion stuff happen you're shown the end result then they do a flashback of what really happened 5 minutes later). These are the bad aspects of the movie. If it was an Alibaba production, the story would be more linear not needing flashbacks/rewinds to explain things, there would b less sexual connotations when Su Da Ji appears on the screen, and ppl wouldn't get hurt so easily and if they got stabbed in the ab like Fan Xian of JoL or beheaded, they usually stay dead...
4. The ENG sub on subscene sux, replaced all the ppl's names with Vietnamese. If you can ignore and re-time the sub, movie is quite watchable...
Anyways, enuf of my rants.
My verdict: 9.5/10! Lookin foward to Parts II&III!!!
This genre getting more interesting (stepping into another world in the desert). Upcoming anime from Tencent WeTV seems to complement this drama very well!
Does anyone else also has this terrible squeaky no bgm sound quality when watching this series on youtube (from…
Try watching this on WeTV (the website not the app: www.wetv.vip/en ). I noticed something 720p on WeTV a lot of times looks better than on YT at 1080p.
1. The kid is not TSJ's but his brother's. That's how TSJ ends up with XY in the end after all confusion clears…
LOL and how is #2 wrong? Everytime CX see XY get closer with TSJ his eyes turn teary and red... Eventually S2 will fully play to this with an expanded romance arc where CX tries to "hit" on XY after it was revealed to both she isn't his biological cousin...
3. Xiang Liu dies in a death match with Cang Xuan. He always wanted to assassinate CX but ends up getting assassinated…
How am I trolling you know 99% of the time the drama never follows the book ending. Those who read the book thinking drama will just rehash the same plot... This is what Tencent is famous for taking the original work and work in a new twist at the end!
1. The kid is not TSJ's but his brother's. That's how TSJ ends up with XY in the end after all confusion clears…
Was I talking to you? Tencent known to dumb down the original content/original work when they adapt a drama. Just look at Douluo Continent drama vs the anime, and The Longest Promise live action script...
3. Xiang Liu dies in a death match with Cang Xuan. He always wanted to assassinate CX but ends up getting assassinated instead. Of course XL doesn't die by CX's hand but more like got killed trying to save XY.
XL has a death match with CX, somehow (or as expected XY is involved), he had to abandon the fight at the critical moment to save XY that his how he dies...
2. Xiao Yao is not Cang Xuan's biological cousin/sister. When this is revealed there will be a story arc where Cang Xuan tries to romance Xiao Yao. BUT, because CX is too ruthless eventually XY hates him for it and leaves him for TSJ.
I am wondering how you come this far....I guess you didn't get the drama at all I assume ..U dislike the mls this…
PARDON me? You know the baby not TSJ's kid but his brother's kid right? So in S2, all confusion clears up and XY marries TSJ. Who in the world makes the story of an alpha lady marry a beta ML?!?!? TSJ can only be the alpha male the FL ends up with, albeit a borderline beta male (due to his clinginess)...
I am wondering how you come this far....I guess you didn't get the drama at all I assume ..U dislike the mls this…
And exactly why isn't TSJ an alpha? He the headmaster of the Tushans so at least by title/social status he is alpha. PLUS he done NOTHING WRONG towards XY, even the baby he "accidentally" had with you know who, it not his child but his brother's child!
I am wondering how you come this far....I guess you didn't get the drama at all I assume ..U dislike the mls this…
Your response illustrates the jerk male character very well. The jerk is like...
Xiang Liu -- FAST FOOD (when girls fall for them the effect is exactly like "more [jerk] than that and my TV screen would blow up". Girls always feel this way when they fall for the jerk!
Tushan Jing -- MAIN COURSE (slow but healthy food)
Cang Xuan -- MAIN COURSE (slow but healthy food)
BUT... Yuck Tushan Jing just so damn clingy. This guy is borderline beta male because of his clinginess!
