Why is it 7.8 right now??? It deserves soooo much better ššš
I think because so many people are incredibly annoyed with the FL, and are fast forwarding through many of her scenes.
Must admit, I agree with them as, although the drama is very fun and most of the rest of the cast are delivering excellent performances, her character is written so badly that she's ended up being a bit of an idiot, and that translates to incredible annoyance watching her.
Julia Xiang's performance of the FL is also "meh", with some very strange or bland facial expressions, but I have the feeling that's the director's fault, as she is usually great in her roles.
Not sure if that's the case for the low rating (?) but it does make sense as most of the complaints about the drama are about Julia Xiang's performance or the FL's character.
In that regard, I've dropped my rating from a 9 to a 7.5 right now (may increase it as I watch more episodes), as I'm having to fast forward thru almost every scene the FL is in as, if I don't, I'd have the urge to reach through the screen and slap her :) It's horrible writing and the actress, and the character, deserved better.
NEVER believe MDL ratings. The website has had an army of trolls for YEARS that they refuse to deal with. So every time a drama comes out featuring an actor idiots with no lives "hate", they climb all over the page trying to destroy his/her career.
Vile people, and on a website that sees its reputation collapse more and more every year, as it's heading towards becoming as big of a joke as IMDB.
Really good show and i am enjoying it but the constant scheming by the vice principle and his little back up is…
Yep. Really enjoying it too, but had to turn off Ep 3 midway through as I was getting so annoyed with their constant need to destroy everything. Will start watching again in a few hours when I'm not so caffeined- up :)
Watch Order:1. Duel on Mount Hua: Eastern Heretic and Western Venom (8 episodes)- Backstory of Eastern Heretic…
Ignore him/her. He's spamming the same comment over and over again in every topic, and it's wrong.
Watch order is The Legend of Heroes first as, just like any prequel, the Duel on Mount Hua prequels are made to be watched AFTER the main story.
The watch order for the prequel after that is a) Nine Yin True Sutra, 2) Eastern Heretic and Western Venom, 3) Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar and then, when it's released next week, 4) 5 Great Masters.
Watch Order:1. Duel on Mount Hua: Eastern Heretic and Western Venom (8 episodes)- Backstory of Eastern Heretic…
You have it backwards.
The Legend of Heroes is the first one to watch -- just like with any prequel made, the main story is made to be watched first. Hence, why it was released a year before the prequel.
Then Nine yin True Sutra is next, followed by Eastern Heretic and Western Venom, Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar and, finally, the Five Great Masters.
Well-written, very well-acted, a plot that grabs you from the first scenes, and with characters you actually care about -- the coach, his ex girlfriend, the principal and the kids on the rugby team.
Yoon Kye Sang is perfectly cast as the ML too.
Sure, the comedy is a little over the top, so not always to my taste, but the rest of if really makes up for that (and if slapstick comedy is your thing -- nothing wrong with that, it's just not mine -- you'll love it).
This is the first K-drama I've watched in a few months, as I've been glued to Cdramas and, as someone who doesn't usually enjoy sports-themed dramas, this is a superb re-entry into the Korean drama world. A 10/10 for me so far.
Only mid-way thru Ep 4, but this is excellent, and a lot of fun so far. Great cast, solid performances and pretty cinematography too. Throw in intriguing cases, and it's a very entertaining watch.
Legal version on YouTube (ie: you're supporting the actual production company and the animations studio and artists…
Yep. The poorly AI generated subs are definitely a problem. Even on WeTV, YOUKU and iQIYI, some dramas are either fully AI-generated or with some episodes by AI. Very annoying, IMO. Especially when you're paying for a subscription, and can barely understand what's going on in half the episode.
Legal version on YouTube (ie: you're supporting the actual production company and the animations studio and artists…
You're welcome. And sorry, didn't mean to attack yhou for linking to myanimelive, as I use that site a lot too for donghua that are hard to find.
I just prefer to watch things legally if possible as, the more donghua and dramas do well internationally, the more donghua/dramas we will get AND the more influence we will have on Chinese studios :)
Go to myanime.liveThey are all there and the site is updating within 24hGood quality and updated up to 153 as…
Yep, that compilation video is great too as it cuts out the opening and ending animation of each episode, if I remember correctly.
You can then watch the episodes after Ep 100 from that playlist I linked to (I'm just not sure why Chinese streaming services can't upload new episodes in the right order on their playlists, so that you can put a playlist on auto-play and watch each episode in the correct order, but there ya go :)
And, honestly, I watch bootleg sites as much as anyone but, when it's available legally and FREE on YouTube, and so supports the animators, I don't see any reason to link to a non-legal site :)
I found ep 1-100 of the anime on YouTube, I guess I know abt Iām doing this weekend
Legal version on YouTube (ie: you're supporting the actual production company and the animations studio and artists -- updated to Ep 152, and updates twice a week as new episodes drop.
Go to myanime.liveThey are all there and the site is updating within 24hGood quality and updated up to 153 as…
The legal version is FREE on YouTube. Don't know why people keep linking to bootleg sites, when you can support the actual production company on a legal site.
this is prequel. The whole story of Legend of Condor Heroes is told in a very creative way and expanded
That's not true though. The main story came out in 2024 and most people have already watched that.
And like most prequels, which are usually released AFTER the main story both in China and in the west, you should watch the main story first. Perfectly understandable if watching main story first, then prequels. As most of us did.
That's one of the 11 websites I own. It's also one of the sites I run that concentrates on Asian entertainment, including Chinese dramas. I own 3 more.
I've also written for more Asian newspapers and magazines than I can count during the 15 years I lived in Thailand, and the 3 years in Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. But hey, you know more about my life than I do from your 'No Name' account on a drama site. Fool.
And now I'm done explaining myself to an idiot. Life is too short.

Basically, Japanese animation is called 'anime' and Chinese animation is 'donghua'.
It doesn't matter if it's 3D-animated or 2D-animated, it's still 'donghua' if it's produced in China.
