Those who are complaining about the ending due the weird rule of censorship in China they had to cut 50 episodes…
Like... just how many Xianxia before this show didn't have similar ending? It's not even a thing to complain about anymore, if not this then that, haters will always come up with something.
If anyone loves the Dunhuang murals fairy styling, I really recommend the famous dance drama Silk Road Flower Rain <<丝路花雨>> AKA "Along the Silk Road" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bniJVoULD0
I watched this master piece of work ages ago. Bai Lu's goddess air is very similar, I feel that she understands the expectations very well from those who love Silk Road Flower Rain.
It's a dance drama so no words spoken, no need to understand Chinese language or get Eng sub. It started with two fairies dancing in the sky and throwing flowers. Then the story began. One day, a young girl (Yingniang) and her father saved a Persian merchant in the desert. Then she got kidnapped into a dancing troop. After many years, she was forced to perform on the street and was publicly abused. She met her father again and they reunited through the help of the Persian merchant they saved. Her father was tasked to paint in the Mogao cave, he doesn't know what to paint for the center peice. Seeing Yingniang dance with the pipa so attractively, he painted her with the pipa. Happiness didn't last long, a tyrant wanted to force a marriage with Yingniang, so she escaped to Persia with the merchant. The tyrant imprisoned her father in the Mogao cave. Years later, she returned to China and her father was murdered by the tyrant and robbers along the silk road. Yingniang and the merchant disguised as dancers to expose the tyrant's injustice. She danced with a long silk explaining the story. The king punished the evil doers.
I don't know if it's because Yingniang is the first dancer I saw with a pipa so it's why she's my favorite, everytime I compare another dancer with a pipa they are never as good as Yingniang in my eyes. The silk dance at the end is my favorite, beautifully done. I bet if there is another dance drama again Luo Yunxi can totally slew it. 😄
I hope the grade doesn't drop because of the ending.
I don't think it was a bad ending, at least it wasn't a blood spitting one. Well only LSS did spat some blood earlier and then when she turned into her goddess form, it's nothing but all beauty, calmness, wisdom. etc. LOVE Bai Lu in her goddess form, no one can nail it any better. In the other Xianxias... one of the lovers usually ends up dying during misunderstandings, their mess are still not clean up but since one is dead all is forgiven... The scenes after LSS fell from the tower is the good example, most Xianxia would ended there like that. But in this ending, they understood the fate and accepted it, it's bittersweet.
She succeed in her great mission. It's so obvious from the beginning. A happy ending makes no sense with the way…
You're crazy enough to finish the drama way ahead of me, many of us hyper fans cannot finish it until end of the day when we done with work. Cause the last episode just came out not so long ago... and you're one of the very first people to rush as soon as it came out then calling it average... hehe... do you not work? Or is it your job to smack things competiting against your agency?
Is AOL worth watching? I’m only there for LYX, so would like to how how much screen time he take. How big is…
I find most Xianxia boring, I do consider AOL one of the betterly paced and less draggy to watch. It has great OST and CGI. If you read the discussions on AOL page, fans of the leads were angry thinking he took too much screentime, it's true he does have decent amount of screentime but I find his arc overly important and way more interesting. It's even scary to talk about it bc there are 2 huge teams, 1 team likes the leads and hate LYX and his role. The other team hates the leads thinking they are selfish, foolish, and inconsiderate while they like LYX and his role despite that it's the evil role. I'm with the 2nd team, nothing against the leads but I blame the writing for making them so irresponsible and knowing nothing except being in love.
It's competition. She's currently top list now. I think I know at least 1 powerful person behind it. I think BL is also nominated for Magnolia, some so call prestigious award. Zhao Liying is DESPERATE for that award. Earlier, ZLY's news editors wrote all over the place that if she won then Yang Mi will be super jealous. Then, her team goes on to say Bai Lu doesn't deserve it. The newsletters look like these: https://news.sohu.com/a/672292013_121438382 There is no issue between BL and Yang Zi but they made things up to make it look like BL acts diva towards everyone, and they put the fake dispute between Yang Zi vs BL in the title, and first story, to accuse Yang Zi of jealousy. But I already know the editors were hired by ZLY's team bc when it came to the comparison with ZLY's paragraph at the botton, it's always the same tone ZLY team always use: "gap between Zhao Liying and Bai Lu is comparable to the gap between the Himalayas and the Asian Trench", that's the same sentence ZLY team says all the time. And they were jealous enough of BL's dress to photoshop ZLY's face into it, thinking she looks better in it: https://www.sohu.com/a/672707062_121670115 Everytime a new actress is trending, e.g. Zhao Lusi and Esther Yu, same thing, it's always this same team.
Si Ying looked so gorgeous when JM pushed her away. The look on her face and just her hair and costume was just…
Her fighting scene with CJM at the pond from earlier episodes left a deep impression, the way she used the umbrella as a weapon was very unique and how the umbrella turned into person (resembles mo nu??) made it interesting. She usually plays all these evil roles but this one is her best so far with me. I'm starting to like Bingchang, she is her own person, she has other people to care for, and other goals... not just the usual b*tch killing people for a guy like Tian Huan. People used to hate the main guy when he played evil in Ashes of Love as well. I'm sure when Chen Duling starts playing lead roles, fans will start to see her evil role here differently.
That scene when Zhao You insisted to CJM that he must be killed asap before he fully turns into a demon! Their…
Oh, HHB used to be the best in the early 2000s. Him and Vincent Jiao. I'm dying for the wait, so I have to alternate between this and HHB's old drama Kings of Kings. They really need to eng sub his old stuff. His role in Kings of Kings is very controversial, he is the lead slash bad guy, and the other leading guy is equally handsome, leading actress is also my fave back then.
Is it just me? I don't know what to call it, theories? imaginations? creativity? Sometimes I keep taking some of the Xianxia theories in this drama as real facts, I don't know why they come off so convincing. Whoever wrote and directed this really put more thinking into it. Usually I know Xianxia is fake stuff. This one got me many times, I keep repeating to myself what they're showing isn't reality, it's only a drama. 😂 The scene of the evil TTJ explaining how he was born and how he felt was done so brilliantly.
Agree. I think Immortal Samsara is overrated. Esp. the 2nd part, so boring to watch. Without lead stars it would…
I don't think Immortal Samsara was overrated bc it got very honest reviews complaining how boring it is and it is truly boring like the complaints. The reviews really reflect what the product looks like for that one. I would say overrated stuff are those stuff where they are so boring to death but the reviews are so dishonest, 100.01% they say it's not boring but the screen literally froze on the same damn thing for 30 episodes... and even the fans be like, oh... go to ep30 and watch from there (60 or 70 episodes total) and it's a "masterpiece". Ah... yeah... masterpiece but the first 30 eps were crap you say? No wonder why the government had to step in and put a limit to the number of episodes. If that's how masterpieces are like, there's totally something wrong. THOSE dramas have higher ratings LOL, I will say those are the truly overhyped ones. It's impossible that there are that many people saying they enjoy really boring stuff... but when things aren't boring they cannot enjoy it and start complaining about how they can't stand boringness when I thought they enjoy boringness. It's just really really odd, it makes no sense. I think it's just some unfair competition and jealousy to be super honest.
Don't be jealous of the rating here, it's already low enough. I can see how hard this production worked even without seeing any of the BTS. It's not a piece of crap with no plot, no idea, no creativity, etc. I don't want to name things, but the truly overrated dramas are the ones where they didn't even hire any choreographer to do the action scenes, even professional camera men were not hired. Why? Cause some overrated artists be charging for ridiculous salaries, the producers couldn't even afford for Ok-ish CGI. How those overhyped dramas even got their unconvincing high ratings and good reviews, IDC, but it's either the producers covetting the budget to save for insane marketing, or the artists who greedily snatched all the budget to themselves bribed fans to like their stuff for their sakes. All I know is something boring equals snoring. Boring stuff with awesome reviews saying they enjoy boring stuff... makes no sense. It's time to appreciate TRULY hardworking producers and REAL actors. There isn't even a single episode where this is draggy and the plot froze. If this is overhyped then I don't know what I should call the "authentic" overhyped stuff. Be fair in competition! To point out flaws that are true, yes, that's fine. To lie about things that aren't true, please have some shame.
