I felt the same with my first listen for Hyuk's Boy with a Star. It seems like many commenters enjoy that song…
I pick new songs for my playlist often by listening to chart compilations and if a song picks my interest immediately, it's added, "Boy with a Star" was one of them because of Hyuk's voice and the melody, especially the chorus. Such a perfect fit. That's also how I discovered AKMU. There are real gems out there. ^^
Often enough I hear a song and think it would fit into a drama's OST so well or think the song alone tells a story. A Book In Memory by ONEWE definitely was one of them, as well as Hyuk's "Boy With a Star". So you might guess how happy I was to see them featured in your article. ^^
A couple songs that come into my mind (I lack fitting dramas though): BTS - The Truth Untold (a sad love story about "what if") / Black Swan (for a dancer who lost his passion for what he does) Younha - Winter Flower IU - Above the Time (love that goes through hardships but only gets stronger) Onewe - Regulus The Rose - Like We Used To (a relationship that ended but the feelings still linger) AKMU - 어떻게 이별까지 사랑하겠어, 널 사랑하는 거지 (How Can I Love The Heartbreak, You’re The One I Love) (a couple going through hardships but instead of breaking up, deciding to not give up)
Yes!!! Well, I have watched a few Xianxia before but this is my first Wuxia. Am I qualified? xDDD
I'm not sure there is THE one drama out there which is perfectly suitable for beginners in Wuxia because Wuxia or Xianxia have all this cultivation stuff and other foreign things in their stories. This is part of why I enjoy them so much. I think if one is interested they can do some research. I lost count on how many things I looked up when I watched The Untamed for example but it was really fun and I enjoyed both, the drama and the reading to understand the universe of the drama better. I got confronted with 17 characters in just 2 episodes of the drama Nirvana in Fire. Compared to that, WoH is easy to understand. In conclusion I would say WoH can be watched by beginners. If there's something they don't understand there's no shame in asking those who are familiar with the genre. We all started with a new genre at some point. :)
When I started watching Wuxia dramas I didn't even know I was watching something of this genre. xD Now that I completed some Wuxia/Xianxia dramas it got indeed easier to tell them apart and understand the context of them better. Both are fascinating genres that I enjoy. I was looking forward to this article. Great job, Blizzard! <3 Hope you keep writing about the world of C-Dramas. ^.^
On Baidu it's also listed under Zhu Yilong's dramas with the year 2021 so it really looks like they plan to air…
Not exactly having my hopes up but I refuse to give up on it completely. Considering Zhu Yilong's popularity I think this drama does stand a chance to get released one day. Well, we'll see. ^^
This is purely speculation but 2018 Guardian (also a bromance based on BL novel) got so popular that it was even…
Yeah the best thing for C-Dramas with BL context is to fly under the radar. Of course that's only working until fans discover it and start a hype. xD Still, considering what C-Dramas this day can actually sneak through censorship is amazing. :)
This is tentatively set to air on 3/25/21 on Mango TV:https://www.yingpingshuo.com/bfsj/2197.htmlhttp://nizhidaoma.manmankan.com/article/2020/30491.shtml

As for me you totally achieved your goal and inspired me to write articles. Not to mention all that great ideas you feed us with. Thank you for that, dear! I'm sad to see this series coming to an end but I'm grateful that it exists and look forward to your upcoming articles. I hope to see more series from you as well though. ;) Thank you, Cho Na!
This is such a well thought-out article. You've really thought of everything that can help you decide on what…
Hehe yes, we can learn so much from asking other users and trying out what they do. For me my mood is the dominant part that often has the upper hand. Low rating reviews are a must for me to see if a drama has some things that would really bother/annoy me. Watching 40+ episodes only to be greeted by a tragical end I wasn't prepared for would feel like a waste of time for me. Reviews can help avoid that. Friends with a taste I trust are best sources for good dramas and recommendations.
