Really gotta check it out. Any good fight scenes or ost? Story any good. Just finished . Lotus book and hard to…
Looks like a clean through-and-through comedy. Don't expect MLC levels of wuxia, LOL, though there's some pretense game going on strongly. (Based only on the first ep. I liked it, it's funny :D)
I kind of liked it too. Especially how the dad used his staff to protect the girl when she thought she won. It…
Don't bother with the ratings - 1. it's a Chinese drama, they always have to fight harder on MDL for better ratings than the SK dramas. 2. There are people who set ratings from the beginning depending on who is acting - fans will rate it higher, anti-fans will try to destroy it. and 3. Nobody had a chance to actually watch it all, so any new ratings are meaningless.
It's even worse with well-known actors, LOL, particularly if there are any other dramas that compete for the same time slots in the original country.
So, anyway, don't bother with the ratings on (any) cdramas and just enjoy the ride.
The whole sect is amazingly in sync to make her believe - and keep her believing - she's some kungfu master, LOL. Poor girl. When she finds out she'll take a real beating. Unless Jiang BuTing helps her along.
The most ROLFMAO moment for me was the two of them - Ge and Di, LOL - hearing someone cry out "somebody dropped [it]", immediately going in a trance imagining it's some money pouch and launching off into the road to get it (it was her, LOL), that was... beyond amazing. And immediately after they'd decided they won't be swayed by money any more. These two are so good together :D
The first episode is hilarious. I don't know if they can keep it up for the whole series, but it was a great beginning. I wonder if the novel is as funny as the drama :D
And even hetero romances can be EXTREMELY addictive, like Till the End of the Moon (because everybody needs TanTai Jin in their life!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D-5iTvFhQ8
But if there aren't enough danmei dramas for you... there are SO many donghua already, including MDZS :D
iQiYi has it on their YT official channel (put subs on). From someone who watched it and loved it - it's very much worth it and definitely not the usual same-old, same-old costume drama. Masterfully acted, great characters, very interesting story and don't hate the lawyer on sight. We learned better LOL.
the people on here who write that this has a happy ending have not considered that this drama has ripped out my…
LWJ: I want to take someone back to Cloud Recesses... Take him back and hide him away.
Later on, LXC telling WWX the backstory on THAT. Yup. That was a killer. And then the extras to the novel, LOL, where we learn it was NEVER a platonic love for LWJ, not even when WWX was just pranking LWJ with ancient Chinese porn books.
That kind of longing, going through life and death. That kind of hope.
so mun comma is really worthless plot in drama only half ep it takes to wake him up and soo easily 🙄like seriously…
One of them even told HaNa to make him remember his actions as a Counter, and she says it won't work because those specific two memories were erased... then she reminds him about a few times when he acted as a Counter and he not only remembers, his original contract with WiGen is remade (somehow) and they both are okay, no problems, nothing.
Like... WTH?!
I thought him losing his powers was the best thing that could happen to shake the season up a bit... but definitely not as they made use of it. Disappointing.
I know that this is TOTALLY personal opinion, but I would like to know if season 2 is more or less character driven…
No character development, basically (it all happened in S1). The new Counter is a nose (not a joke) - he's just comic relief mostly. The villains look cool and that's about it.
It's because of the lists, LOL. In Jianghu, everybody measures up against everybody else. And the best criterion…
It's a most used trope, indeed :D
Also, when you got through the them meeting again (if you're mentioning the other Clan people trying to challenge WWX, he's already back from the Burial Mounds), you were presented with another well-used trope, LOL, when WWX said he got locked into a cave where he found an ancient manuscript that taught him all the tricks he's been using. That training-through-an-ancient-manuscript-found-in-a-cave comes so often in some wuxia stories, it's a tongue-in-cheek from the writers to use in that place in the story, LOL.
Anyway, I hope you're enjoying TU, it's a very good drama that well deserves the hype. And the novel it's based on, too :D
What's up with everyone always asking why Wei Wuxian isn't carrying his sword lol. Also is everyone's audio on…
It's because of the lists, LOL. In Jianghu, everybody measures up against everybody else. And the best criterion is who defeated who in combat (obviously with a sword). Since WWX isn't carrying his sword, they can't challenge him (his magical tricks are unorthodox and they won't fight him through tricks.)
The lists are even mentioned once, IIRC - I think it was Jin ZiXuan first, then Lan XiChen, Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian. Jiang Cheng is on it somewhere too. And definitely Nie MingJue, though he might be seen as part of the seniors' lists (and he doesn't use a sword anyway but something of a broadsword, much more brutal than the elegant ones).
The Jianghu list(ing)s are mentioned in a lot of other dramas - like Nirvana in Fire, for example. Or EverNight. Or 2ha, if it ever gets aired, LOL.
Anyway, WWX not carrying his sword is being impolite toward the people who would want to call him out to fight and maybe gain some recognition having fought WWX. So that's why they're all mad about it, LOL.
PS NF sound is okay in all eps, must be an Amazon thing.
Is the beginning of the story slow? cause i watch TLP too slow till episode 3 and stop watch.
It starts with a MC's death, reincarnation and a zombie-killing plot, LOL. So no, it's not slow.
Though you have to take into consideration that the first two eps are an intro, then there's a long flashback that ends in ep 33, then it returns to the intro and goes on from there. Neither parts are slow, IMHO (there's quite a lot of story to pack in just 50 eps, but they managed it beautifully).

Take a look and decide for yourself. For me, it's an absolute must watch.

Masterfully acted, great characters, very interesting story and don't hate the lawyer on sight. We learned better LOL.

Yes, an unforgettable story.
Like... WTH?!
I thought him losing his powers was the best thing that could happen to shake the season up a bit... but definitely not as they made use of it. Disappointing.
The fighting scenes are good, though.
I STILL don't care about MJS, I'd rather have had HPG doing the incoming fights and evil things etc.
This season... I've watched it for the fighting scenes and that's all. Everything else doesn't click...
