Oooh great article, Brownie! I wasn't very surprised that the only dramas that I've watched in this article were the last four ones. And what's more, they're all Xianxia dramas! You really said "NO" to those Wuxias and became best friends with the Xianxia genre. ^-^ Sometimes, we should step out of our comfort zone, and I'm glad you enjoyed most of these dramas.
I've been seeing many complaints, not just on MDL, but on Chinese sites, about how boring this drama is because it's just like other Xianxia dramas.
I would like to say that the novel in which this drama was adapted from, Shang Gu (ไธๅค), was published in 2012. The novel and drama are very very similar, if not almost the same. Their similarities actually astonished me as I didn't think that they would be so alike.
Now let's think about Journey of Flower, which is deemed as the Xianxia drama that fueled the rest to come by many people. Its novel was published in 2014.
Love and Redemption's novel, ็็็พไบบ็ , was published in 2019.
Besides Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and Ashes of Love, all other Xianxia drama's original novels were published AFTER Shang Gu.
These recent Xianxia dramas have all been revolving around reincarnations, star-crossed lovers, and a lot of magic, so it's inevitable for some to think that this drama is just copying tropes used in other drama, but this is not the case. It just took longer for the novel to be adapted into a drama. Yes, it is absolutely true that some may start to find these similar details in these Xianxia dramas a little boring, but it doesn't do both the novel or drama justice at all for some to think that this drama is just reusing Xianxia tropes that have already been used before. I just wanted to make this clarification. Thanks for reading. :)
Ugh, these netizens are at it again.
(same with Youku, I unfortunately could only find 6 episodes)
Journey of Flower is regarded as THE Xianxia drama that fueled the rest to come by many many people, and no, its CGI isn't bad!
