Hmmm although I enjoy the novel but I find it slow paced...may be because it was my first xianxia novel..I understand that people who read the novel first almost always thought the novels are better...because I also have the same thought in English movies which were based on novels....when novels being adapted into movies or dramas ...it's leads characters,habits,and even the way they talk become different..which is undeniable fact...so looking from the reader's side when their almost 200 episodes get shrink into like 10 episodes ,they got angry ....well that's from their side but for someone like me who like fast paced..it doesn't matter.....it's just that I can't accept that some people saying like the drama is a total disaster...and if u look from the producers and directors' view...it's also understandable to over used the idol's character coz their target for the drama's popularity is not only for china where the novel is well known but also for his international fans in other countries who doesn't even heard of the novel...well in the end differ t people have different thoughts and I'm fine with my own

U spoke my mind

yeah I posted this coz most people are saying like this drama does not worth a glance ...the osts are pretty good especially the ending

I think people who think this drama has bad casting and bad acting started watching the drama with high expectations...I started watching it with low expectations since I know it's luhan's first costume drama and he's an idol (I don't have any high expectation based on that two reasons ...no offense to his fans).I've thought about dropping the drama if I find some lame moments..I've watched up to ep8 raw version and so far it's still good ...after that I also read the novel up to chapter 191 in 2 days ...in the novel Chen Chang sheng character is also expressed as someone who's extremely calm and rarely change facial expression so I don't think the lead in drama version is stiff at all...about the lead actress I don't know what to say since the novel character doesn't show up that much ...and the other characters live up to the novel ones ...although the story line is abit change ..for e.g.the Age of the casts ...in novel they were 15 and he's got 5 years of time limit and in drama he's 19 with only a year of limit...and his blood can cure any illness except his destiny ...in novel there's nothing said about his blood being special at all..also in novel there's nothing like the chen Chang sheng saving the Xu ru rong with his blood in their childhood ...so the point I wanna say is so far the drama has no major problem and the CGI are so pretty in my eyes
