Heheh - the idea that Zheng is going to be able to woo Amita is beyond absurd! This is a classic example of the boss devising an absurd strategy and the worker being forced to execute regardless.
Nashi is gorgeous! She and 雷震子 (thunder deity) were the stars of COG2😜! The mls in dat show were🙄🙄.…
All 3 parts were filmed years ago. They just didn't invest in post production which is gonna be expensive and time consuming bc of the CGI. But Part 1 was such a huge hit there should be enough to invest in CGI for Part 2 and 3 - if they decide its worth spending the money.
I didn’t watch COG2, heard it wasn’t as good as 1. But I do agreed that Nashi is beautiful and I may also…
Yeah not worth going to the theatre for but I plan to watch a good quality version on my TV but still waiting for the streaming version to be available.
I didn't read the book but I am going to guess that Xiu is part demon part human. We know he was adopted and in…
In the show bc of budget, they are all humans and demons, orcs, elves etc are all just different races. But I think the Beizu clan nobility may have some super powers - hence the strange cave temple scene that only Ka Dan can enter etc. I am going to guess they shot all of that bc of parallels between Xiu and Si Yilin/Kadan's child. Like Xiu, he can probably also turn into a red-eyed monster.
Yes and the characters are opaque and there are lots of words beneath the words. It doesn’t help they didn’t…
Lol - yups so there is a lot of that going on here. Even though the war and politics are intricate its actually well conceived and quite well told if you pay attention.
Hello, how are you? The last time I wrote to you was on The Double. I watched 28 episodes of this 27 regular and…
WS is supposed to be inspired by Cao Cao and Xiao Qiao also really existed but she was someone else's wife. Its like a fantasy 3 Kingdoms where Cao Cao is essentially defeated by a beauty trap. There are many 3 Kingdoms inspired dramas. If you want to be super serious you can watch Three Kingdoms which is I think close to 100 episodes (I haven't watched it but I will one day). Or Advisors Alliance and its sequel Growling Tiger, Roaring Dragon which also sticks close enough to history but has many fictionalized parts. If you want something more of a Dumas plot you can try Secret of the Three Kingdoms.
Sounds interesting. Do you think the overall rating is lower because the plot is more intricate?
Yes and the characters are opaque and there are lots of words beneath the words. It doesn’t help they didn’t have enough money to shoot many war scenes so a lot of gets told in dialogue. There is a lot of dialogue and you have to pay attention. I didn’t mind but it can lose or confuse viewers out for light watches.
Wow I didn't realize how beautiful Nashi is. I think I may have to un-skip Creation of Gods 2. One of the reasons the movie was panned was because of her but she is really not bad here at all.
Where can I get this drama's novel.. Purple River by Zhu lao. I want it in english.
@KhinSuShein links the Chinese version below. You will have to use Google translate as I am quite sure it hasn't been translated into English. You could also try to request it on Webnovel - it will be AI translated though. Tencent owns the IP for this and are trying to get all their novels eventually AI translated on WebNovel. It will be behind a paywall though.
Watched both seasons back-to-back and loved every second of it. Low-key sad it ended like that though, especially…
I didn't read the book but I am going to guess that Xiu is part demon part human. We know he was adopted and in the novel Beizu are demons. So Si Yilin's child is also of the same mixed heritage.
