Personally, I would prefer if they eventually reveal that he is actually bad. His character felt very indecisive and not very memorable. Even the villain (I won’t say the name to avoid spoilers) felt more decisive and better written.

His character gave me the impression of cowardice, and he didn’t really feel useful or important to the story. It would be interesting to see him actually try to fight for Chang Yu or do something truly significant, instead of remaining someone who doesn’t seem to have much personality.

It could also create a surprising twist for us readers and allow a small subplot to develop around this character.

One thing I really loved about the novel is the determination of the characters to follow through with their intentions: Xie Zheng, his uncle, Qi Min… They are all very complex characters, but they remain resolute no matter what their motivations are, whether good or bad.

Even Yu Qianqian is someone who goes all the way and shows unwavering determination.

Personally, whether he turns bad or not doesn’t really bother me, as long as it makes the plot more thrilling.
As long as Xie Zheng and Chang Yu only have eyes for each other like in the novel, there’s no risk that his one-sided love will harm the story.
Sometimes you need a well-written grey character who could tip into the dark side at any moment to make certain plotlines more interesting.

I really hope they kept the scenes where Xie Zheng bites her and she eventually bites him back too 🤭.
Lately, I’ve watched so many poorly edited dramas full of inconsistencies that I had almost lost hope that Pursuit of Jade would be any different.
But this drama has completely exceeded all my expectations.

The camerawork and editing are absolutely remarkable. I love the angles of the fight scenes, the cinematography, and those masterful slow-motion shots that highlight Zhang Linghe so perfectly.

What a blessing it is, after Legend of Zang Hai, to find another production with such outstanding quality. The lighting work is simply stunning.

I can’t thank the writer and the director enough for giving us such a gem.

The wait is going to be torture, but for a drama of this quality, I’m more than willing to be patient. Visually and story-wise, this drama has delivered on all its promises so far.

This drama is so good. Take my salary, just give me all the episodes already. The wait is killing me 😂😂

Damn, this preview is on another level. He’s ready to destroy everything for her. He’s merciless 😆😏.

How lucky is Xie Zheng! The woman he married is very beautiful, she can cook, and she’s so cute, kind, and brave. She can even lift him and has saved his life several times. She’s a seasoned fighter, so he won’t need to worry about his back in the future because she’ll be the one protecting it. She’s such a loyal person.
As a woman, I’m jealous of Xie Zheng my girl has qualities that many men don’t have. No wonder he fell so deeply for her

Not Chang Yu trying to “cook” Xie Zheng’s phone 😂😂! But the phone actually did something heroic and saved his stay with the Fans… a true hero 😂

The musical direction is truly remarkable. The music creates such an ancient and authentic atmosphere that gives the drama a lot of charm. And when the tension rises in the story, the rhythm becomes more intense and immediately pulls you into the scene.

I love that they made Song even more annoying than in the novel. I love seeing idiots humiliate themselves and regret their stupidity 😂😂. His audacity at the wedding… what an idiot 😂.

Despite his condition, Xie Zheng misunderstood Chang Yu’s words, but he still went anyway. What did he think was going to happen? Was he actually ready to do what he had in mind despite his injuries? 😂😆 In the end, he ended up attending his own memorial ceremony 😂😂.

It really sounds like his own voice to me. There’s no noticeable difference, so I don’t think he’s dubbed.

I completely agree. The cinematography is so pleasant, and the pacing is really perfect. Even for people who haven’t read the novel, following the story won’t be a problem. That’s exactly where the directors did a wonderful job they made the drama accessible to everyone. I also read your comment below about Generation to Generation, and it was truly a disappointment for me as well. Only readers can really understand it, and even many readers were disappointed with the adaptation.

I think she’s perfect for this role. I don’t really agree with comparing her to Esther Yu. Esther’s roles are often in the very cute and childlike register. TXW, on the other hand, has taken on many different types of roles: badass, cute, sensitive, mature, serious, brave, and innocent. Her characters show a wide range of emotions and personalities. Esther has played one more mature role, like in MJTY, but her characters often stay within a similar emotional range and personality, without much development. Compared to TXW, whose characters can go through strong growth and evolution, it’s hard to compare them. That said, Esther seems to be trying to diversify and has chosen more mature roles for her upcoming projects, so maybe she’ll pleasantly surprise us.

The directors really respected the original work. The scenes and the atmosphere are so close to the novel it’s even better than I imagined 😊.

If you’re talking about animal slaughter, not really, and it’s not shown in detail. But if you mean battle scenes and enemies being killed, then yes there’s quite a lot since the drama is centered around war.

His dream really came true 😂 (I’d kill pigs just to feed you). The novel truly came to life everything looks exactly the same and so well done.”

Does anyone know when this drama is coming out? I need Cheng Lei and Bai Lu as soon as possible.

Fang Mu Yang is such a refreshing character. With Fei Ni, he can be a little shameless, but he’s also gentle and affectionate. Despite everything, he’s truly kind. He loves Fei Ni so much that he looks at her as if she were the only person in the world.

I was expecting a less fantastical and darker universe, like Word of Honor, with an enemies-to-lovers romance.
Or maybe a softer jianghu vibe like Who Rules the World.

If it had leaned more into fantasy, I would have thought of something like The Blood of Youth.
Or even a pure wuxia like The Legend of the Condor Heroes, or stronger martial arts skills like in A Journey to Love.

But the sets and overall atmosphere of the drama really give off xuanhuan vibes. With a little more magic, it could easily be mistaken for one.

This one just isn’t for me.
I really like Zhou Yi Ran almost none of his projects are bad but this simply isn’t my cup of tea.

Enjoy the drama 🤍
