Wow, awesome article! You covered so many topics, and I really love how you ordered everything! I haven't watched any Novoland dramas, but as a Cdrama lover, I should watch a few in the future. Thanks!
Is there a wuxia drama that has more realistic action scenes (without the flying when jumping etc.) ? I would…
Hmmm...You could try some of the older Wuxia dramas, like the Condor ones, but I can't guarantee than there is no flying. The flying is pretty iconic in Wuxia dramas.
Unfortunately, I think most new(er) Wuxia dramas have flying scenes.
Great article thank you author. I'm new in Chinese dramas and this helped a lot. Can anyone recommend some Chinese…
-Word of Honor (edit: alright, I watched it, the drama fits this category :D) -The Wolf -The Legend of Zu -The Condor Trilogy -Legend of Fei -Bu Liang Ren
If I can think of any more, which I probably will, I'll add more to this list!
Well, I learned something. I wasn't "getting" it until the side by side comparison. Admittedly, I don't see much…
Have you read my Xianxia article? I just added a comparison in this article to clear out all the confusion. Also, it would be helpful to read some of my comments further down on this page.
Am I the only one who feels like Wuxia dramas always have a bigger budget and have overall taken more seriously…
Have you read my Xianxia article? There are some recs there.
Also, the Xianxia genre is pretty new, so it obviously isn't as influential as Wuxias. Over time, though, let's hope that more ppl will notice them! :)
Congratulations on your first article, Becky! It's really good! I've only watched 2 Taiwanese dramas, but I've been meaning to watch more (especially Someday or One Day), and this is just the article I need! Not too many dramas, but great recommendations! ^-^
Actually YunMeng is a place. Also instead of using Ten Miles as an explain, shouldn't u use peach blossom debt…
I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. This is called "Introduction to Xianxia Dramas", not "Introduction to the Xianxia Genre". TMOPB is a great Xianxia drama, as it has all the Xianxia elements. As for the plagiarism, I can clearly see your disgust (it upsets me as well), but it has nothing to do with the hard work the directors, actors, crew and other people did to make this a successful drama.
"Actually YunMeng is a place." This is funny. When did I say that Yunmeng is not a place? I just referred to it to clarify to people that are beginner Cdrama watchers the meaning of location names.
I'm sorry that this article upset you. Calm down, calm down.
I wish there were a way to bookmark articles on this site, because I would bookmark this one and the one you did…
I think someone else said the same thing before. If you have a custom list (or you can create a new one), you can copy and paste the article links there.
It's the way Cdramas air. Most of them don't really have solid airing dates until a few days before the actual airing date. It's all patience. (*sigh*)
After my return to MDL, I just have to pop in to say that I'm really loving this drama so far! I was worried that this would be a normal revenge drama, but 36 episodes in, and I'm still captivated by the characters and plot! As always, these actors and actresses never fail to disappoint!
I also really like the contrast between two princesses from the Tang Dynasty, Changge and Leyan. Although they both were born with a silver spoon, their character developments are just so inspirational and awesome. :) And the friendships and romance, I can't wait for next week!
For clarification, there are numerous dramas that have both Xianxia and Wuxia elements. Some may call a certain drama a Xianxia, while others may call it a Wuxia. We have to use out best judgement to see which genre the drama fits in best.
Also, there are definitely many Wuxia details that I did not go over thoroughly, or even at all, so feel free to ask any questions! This is intended to be an introduction, so I didn't really get deep into the topics. I understand that this article can be pretty overwhelming for you guys who haven't been exposed to Wuxias and Xianxias much, but I promise you'll get the hang of them once you start watching more Wuxia and Xianxia dramas! XD.
no. Cause first off Zombies are not a thing in wuxia. Untame is fantasy, so in xian-xia. In wuxia, there's more…
I have to say that The Untamed has some Wuxia elements. Although it doesn't fit the genre entirely, it's not completely wrong of some to refer to it as a Wuxia drama.
Just ignore this user, they have been extremely rude on several MDL pages.
Unfortunately, I think most new(er) Wuxia dramas have flying scenes.
-The Wolf
-The Legend of Zu
-The Condor Trilogy
-Legend of Fei
-Bu Liang Ren

It is also a link on the second paragraph of this article. :)
