Did 12 zodiac team of SMY exist in other two shows of this verse?

Not anyone we know so far. Even in the Anime version he didnt have a pairing. His character is busy planning and scheming (not in a negative manner) to bring change to Blood River.
Dont know how it is in the novel version though.

True! Fights are really well done. The very first fight sequence between Uncle Patriarch and Second Tang Clad leader set the base. Uncle Patriarch looked really fine with his Sword.

I watched the anime/donghua but it's been months. So i dont remember all the plot points, however I am enjoying these characters been played by real actors.

Yes. That was the case in the anime version.

Am I the only one who thinks- Xie Bu Xie was kind of cute. Found both XBX and SMY to be on a similar level as far morality is concerened.

Sure :)

I know of two so far-
SMY and HBH
MYM and TLY
also they have hinted upon Mu Xue Wei having a one sided liking for SMY..

He and everyone for that matter has done their job long back. They must all be working on their respective new projects with new teams. You and I can't make him or anyone else put more efforts. At least not for Blood River. You might want to go to another page of the drama which is still in shoot process. May be then your advice will somehow reach the right ears. For Blood River the ship has sailed. They have done what they have done.
You could either find another reason other than SMY to keep watching or skip and save your self the torture of sitting through something which you despise from your mind, soul, heart, even divine stars. That's really a torture on yourself to be honest. It's not even the time when one was forced to watch what was telecasted on TV. Now you have so much choice.. why go through this pain?

Wait what- Divine physician is truly divine, she made SMY smile or at least attempt at it. There I saw SMY peeking from behind the Lord Kui. Nicee.. Did I mention I quite like HBH- she is cute indeed.

I don't believe in anything about energy level, etc. If people began casting in this manner.. i cant even imagine.

you clearly do not like the actor playing the character. It is clear it's not even his acting abilities but it's way beyond to the year he was born, his energy level etc.
I am genuinely curious why are you watching the show? And if you are watching it for some other character/actor/actress then why not talk about them? clearly no one is going to talk about LITC here.. Those conversations will happen on LITC page..

What a great explanation. Honestly, I did not notice the door in the poster. I wouldn't have thought of it in this way if I had not read your post.
"And with the gate behind him, no one can get to his crew without going through him."- very well articulated.

As far as I understand Dashing Youth did well, didn't it? I have not seen it so I am not sure.
so idf it did well, that means others liked what you didn't because of the actor or director's fault- that's not the matter for discussion because we'll never know.
Could it be that Hou Ming Hao in Dashing Youth was not what your personal preference is, but the same actor in LITC met all your expectations because the entire package was what you have a personal preference for.
And by that logic it is also possible that Blood River is not meeting your preferences, but that doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable enough for others. It's clear you don't like Gong Jun or any of his characters and that's okay I guess. But that doesn't mean there is no audience who is okay to see him in lead roles. I am sure there is audience that's why he was the one selected for the role. And not just him but all other actors like for the role of SCH, MYM, TLY, HBH and so many other.. even the patriarch, uncle zhe.. so on.

I haven't watched other two shows, but I have watched the anime version. So I dont think its mandatory to watch the other two shows..

It's actually a preference based barrier. A few are not able to move on from other actors who have played SMY role in other shows- understandable. It can actually be confusing if one has seen the same character played by 3 different actors and I am guessing all of them play it in their own way. I have seen the anime version and these Blood River matches the looks, vibes, etc so not much of an issue for me to adjust.
In above case it's about wanting their favourite actor to play the role, because they feel he would have done a better job. Reasonable- not sure, but a wish is a wish.. like I have so many wishes and expectations from the show. But will it meet them all- not really..

Cool, so you would have loved to see Hou Ming Hao. Honestly, I have not seen many C-Dramas so far, so I don't really know him. But I got the answer to your post which led to my question.. so all good..
So I guess you won't be watching Blood River for all the reasons stated.
Is the other show you mentioned Love in the Clouds still running, or its done?

There is teasing and chemistry building amongst characters, but in my opinion they have not reached a stage where I can define it as romance.
However, if you are a fan of action and fight sequences, there is plenty and enjoyable too!!

Agree.. 100%.

sorry, if my question wasn't clear. As far as i know Anime version is not the complete story of the Dark River nor is the novel. So something has to happen in anime version in season 2 (if their is any. i hope there is). So does TBOY include that part?
I hope i was able to frame it better?

No need to be personal here. I simply asked a question if current face is not what you prefer, then who would you? Is there any other actor from the show or even outside of this show you'd have loved to see as male lead of this show? That's what asked. I am not sure how my eye sight just got into it...
