What a surprising adaptation! The way they made things make sense was really smart. The beautiful, yet not overdone…
One thing I didn't like about styling was lan wangji's hairstyle ( even though I don't really mind I have seen worse), I think they tried to make him look taller than wei wu xian because xiao zhan is one or two cm taller than Wang yi bo but in story lan zhan is one cm taller than wei wu xian
Also agree with your second point, keeping him as founder of that path.
But I still love the drama so much, I don't really mind anything :D
Xiao zhan is really amazing though, I don't really like most idol turned actor but he's there on top as my favourite. I think he is naturally talented and a really hard working person . I hope he keeps getting better and goes a long way.
"secret to three kingdom" is pretty good. There is romance but the story is not base on that. It is more plot and political. The characters are interesting.
"princess agent" strong female lead. It's really really good but it ends on cliffhanger
Really good, deep and meaningful story with complex characters, about difficult choices and right and wrong, and…
It is one of most interesting story in cdramas ever and probably my favourite. Romance is subtle and the story is not really base on it. Every character is interesting. From the most brutal to the innocent one. I couldn't even bring myself to hate the suppose villain. Because there's so much more than what you see on the surface.
I gave it high rating mainly because of the story, the script, the acting and the soundtrack.
I also thought Core Crusher had the potential to be an interesting character, but I also think he's an example…
I think you might enjoy "ashes of love" or "Prince of lanling". Ashes of love was not really my cup of tea but a lot of people loved the story. I personally like Prince of lanling and scarlet heart even though they are a bit old and the cinematography can't be compared to dramas airing these days.
Boys over flowers was like the intro to Asian dramas for many of us. My problem was with the cast. I just couldn't get into it. I'm okay with the story, I watch the Japanese hana yori dango and I liked it a lot. The cast were more convincing and the leads had chemistry.
I think that's how you are supposed to feel about his character. He makes me uncomfortable ever since his first…
And they did make sense though, the villains. They made sense on many instances even though the evil things they have done can't be justified. So I couldn't hate them completely.
I wish the actor portraying role of xue yang did a bit better, he does looks like xue yang but I feel like he could have done better. After listening to the audio drama, his character feels a lot more brutal and scary and pitiful.
I'm at episode 41 and since it is a whole episode with Meng Yao, I wish I could skip it. Really. I've been watching…
I think that's how you are supposed to feel about his character. He makes me uncomfortable ever since his first appearance. The dimple was just another point to find him more annoying, I don't know why. I normally don't hate dimples but it was so annoying. I was annoyed, irritated and uncomfortable with him till the end but I couldn't 100% hate him. I couldn't 100% hate any of the characters in this story.
I think it was around chapter 99-100. That too it was during the chaos when Jin guangyao locked them up in the temple, and wei wu xian just found out lan zhan has always been in love with him.It was so cute.
I have started reading the novel, while listening to the osts. It's such an experience :)
After finishing the novel I went back to watch the series one more time and I recently started the audio drama, and it's so so so good. I haven't finished yet. The yi city arc was so much more heart wrenching. The entire empathy I had goosebumps, even when knowing what was gonna happen. There were moments I actually felt fear. It's another level experience. I would highly recommend audio drama to anyone who loved the story.

Nirvana in fire

Hetero normative mindset needs to go away, accept love as it is.
Also, I will never get the hype around romanticising obsessive abusive relationship theme.
