He gives the turtle his spiritual power with every flips, it's been answered on ep 6/7 🙃
He did? I don't think I ever watch the explanation. Only that the turtle has it enough getting flipped continuously by Ying Yuan and want to leave Divine Realm
Cannot say enough how happy I am that this comes out. Usually xianxia drama takes long time to come out because of immense post production work.
Watched until episode 7 last night. CGI is very great in episode 7. The war scene is well done. C-drama really has come long way regarding CGI. I still remember the bad CGI in old dramas, hahahaha. Regarding the story, I like it so far. The pacing is okay. We can see the lead's relationship building up "normally". I dislike those dramas that just throw FL and ML together and makes them fall in love so hard within 2 episodes (literally will die for each other).
What a nice surprise!! I am so ready to be disappointed and bracing myself to swallow the fact that this drama won't come out this summer. I even checked douban forum yesterday with no information regarding the airing date. So happy when my work colleague showed me that Immortal Samsara starts today. Youku really great in trolling us, hahaha
Now off to watch. Let's we all start the suffering of waiting of new episodes.
Does the show follow the novel down to the last detail, am asking because I read the novel, its what got me into…
If you are so into the novel, I should say this adaptation is an abomination. In the beginning the change is still understandable, but going deeper it just messed up.
If you want to see a faithful adaptation, I suggest you watch the animation instead. But if you like this kind of genre and certain actor/actress, this is an acceptable drama as standalone.
Could you recommend any other drama of Tan Jian Ci...
He seemed to get past my observation all the time. I remember liking Cao Pi in Secret of Three Kingdom, but never realized it is the same person as the one playing Shen Yi in Under the Skin, hahahaha.
I agree that his acting skill is good. It is so sad that he got sidetracked until now. I am waiting for Are You Safe, too. Also Winner is King ..... truly hope this drama will be released somehow.
Could you recommend any other drama of Tan Jian Ci...
I am still new in this fandom, so I have not checked his work that much. Moreover, unfortunately the majority of his previous works were either as second male lead, or supporting role. Aside from Under the Skin, I have only checked this one and Secret of the Three Kingdom.
Got smitten by Tan Jian Ci in Under the Skin, so I was running here to check his other works.
This drama is actually quite okay for those people who can stomach the FL character. The acting is actually on point, but the FL character is that of "doormat". She has this need to be continuously smothered by any male characters near her, and she let them. In all her relationship in the drama, she always let herself cared for, as if she is incapable of standing on her own. I am sure if her superior (Mr. Xu) is not married, she would have been in relationship with him soon after she breaks up with ML. If you like or can stomach this kind of FL character, then by all means check this drama. But if you hate this kind of character, perhaps you can better spend your time elsewhere. Except you come for specific actor/actress, like me.
One thing that I cannot accept in this story: Are there someplace in this world where an intern can be that powerful in a such large company??? I am a working woman, and very much use to intern come and go. Never before in my experience that an intern will be let work in such important project tender without any supervision.
Hahahahahaha!! All I can relate with Tencent, cartoon, and live adaptation is Douluo Continent. Are there more?…
I only looked on clips for Mirror Twin Cities. ..... I cannot say anything about the storyline since I don't follow either the donghua or the novel. But, ....... I need to be honest here, Li Yi Feng is not suitable in playing costume drama. It is not about acting skill anymore. Some male actor just lack the physical necessity to pull off those long hair and ancient costume. I am not trying belittle him as actor, but this is a fact. There are some blessed male actor that looks good in both modern or ancient clothes, but they are far and between.
Li Hong Yi on the other hand, looks very very good in those ancient garb along with long hair. I hope he will have more costume drama. Xiao Se is quite difficult character to be played, according to the characaterization in the novel. Let's see whether Li Hong Yi can pull it off.
Youku really puts pride in their own productions going from the cartoon to drama. They picked the right actors…
Hahahahahaha!! All I can relate with Tencent, cartoon, and live adaptation is Douluo Continent. Are there more? Cannot agree more with your comment here. I come after seeing Li Hong Yi clip in Xiao Se costume. He for certain looks glorious and not lose out with the cartoon version.
I just saw that dilirebas fans now worried about that why youku didnt release any new trailer instead youku release…
Dilireba drama? Is it The Legend of Anle? Well, I think because this is Xianxia with Yang Zi and Cheng Yi, so people have higher expectation, thus more hype.
As much as I love Gong Jun, Cheng Yi is really on the top for xianxia in my opinion. Somehow his face and demeanor are really suitable for this kind of fairy character.
The newly released MV is torturing me, even worse when I watched Love and Redemption trailer few years ago .......
Drama looks good, the set looks expensive, and the clothes are pretty. I hope the fan war is over by now so we can all support the drama together. It seems to be too good of a drama to be missed.
Tried watching this because of Zeng Shun Xi. I have to drop this drama in episode 21. The story is going to direction that I dislike. The SML and SFL are a bunch of shameless people; no depth at all that can make audience empathize. Their way of thinking also somewhat illogical bordering stupid. They also has no self dignity, made me cringe everytime they whine about their failed romance.
Moreover, this drama quality is very questionable. I want to know what kind of scriptwriter and director that allowed this abomination to be produced? Ju Jing Yi acting skill might not be that stellar, but the fact that the director allowed her to act like a modern woman in an ancient setting is telling you something. I can swallow her make up and hairdo (things that lots of people have problem with), but not her behavior as Jiang Bao Ning.
Ju Jing Yi failed in depicting a behavior and attitude befitting a princess in ancient times. Her way of walking, siting, talking, everything was off. And this was very very disturbing. I have tried to endure her acting, but when the story was no longer can hold my interest, I just gave up.
Me, too. The trailer looks very good. A successful career woman and such a cute un-ambitious younger man. I want to know what kind of romance that this drama will show us. Also, I see that Yang Mi and Xu Kai looks very good together.
What an experience. The twists and turns of this drama are simply superb. It continues to impress and confound.…
So far, the mind game in this drama is very good. This a drama actually best to binge watch. Unfortunately I was already following this since the airing date, thus I can no longer stop
