I am now even more confused :) Why are The Legends a wuxia drama, since there are immortals and FL and ML are…
Xiaorong's reply was a very nice explanation. The Legends is more Wuxia than Xianxia. While it may have Xianxia elements, that is not the main genre. The Wuxia genre is much more prevalent in The Legends, with all the martial arts and such involved. There are many dramas that have both Wuxia and Xianxia elements, which always manages to confuse viewers.
Edit: Also, normal fantasy and Xianxia are two different genres.
Sorry to ask, but I still have some questions: Is it possible that Wuxia and Xianxia can be presented in just…
There are numerous examples of dramas that contain both Wuxia and Xianxia elements. I understand that these articles may have caused some confusion, but that's because people have just not been exposed to these genres enough. The more Wuxia and Xianxia dramas you watch, the more you'll understand them.
Some great examples of dramas that incorporate both Wuxia and Xianxia elements are: -The Legends -The Untamed -Douluo
Some dramas can also be classified as Xuanhuan, but Xuanhuan dramas are not as well-known in the Cdrama world. (of course, we do watch them, they're just not as prevalent as Wuxias and Xianxias.)
Alright, I'm back! Sorry to anyone who has been waiting for my reply, because I was on hiatus. (but I obviously have to come back now that my article is published :D)
I really hate cdramas. Most either end sad ending or open ending.I guess same its for this one right guys.Now…
"I really hate cdramas.
Most either end sad ending or open ending."
Wait, what? Most of them end in sad or open endings? No no no no no, that is not true. If this is what you think, you have definitely not watched enough Cdramas!
You could say it like that. This is only a Xianxia intro, so it obviously doesn't cover all concepts. In Xianxia,…
I'm not sure. If you wanted to come back to this, you could just go to your search engine and type in "Introduction to Xianxia Dramas". It should be one of the first things that pops up. Another way would be to save it somewhere on MDL, or another application where you can type, such as docs, notes, or word.
so xianxia is for like immortal people, people who have powers, and wuxia is for mortals or cultivators?
You could say it like that. This is only a Xianxia intro, so it obviously doesn't cover all concepts.
In Xianxia, though, there are also people without powers, called mortals. If they're lucky enough, they can cultivate to become an immortal.
Both genres have cultivators, but it's just that cultivation might be used differently in Xianxia and Wuxia. People can cultivate to become an immortal, which only happens in Xianxia, or to just improve their health and other fighting skills, which can happen in both genres.
My article about Wuxia dramas is currently being edited, and I'm sure that you'll be much more clear about this after it is published. Thanks for reading my article!
Li Changge is supposed to look like a girly male when cross dressed as per the manhua.
Thanks for telling me. I just wanted to say that she's never able to fully convince me that she's a man (which almost all Chinese actresses fail to do). I love her nonetheless!
All the toxicity from Chinese fans aside, I'm really really excited for this drama! When you have an actor and an actress from two of your favorite Xianxia dramas acting in a new Xianxia drama, you know that you won't be disappointed! We believe in you guys, Cheng Yi and Yang Zi!
Just wanted to butt in and say that I'm really loving the drama so far! Although Dilraba never seems to be able to look like a man, I do like her character, who isn't one who needs to depend on others to survive. She's independent and determined. I also like how although the plot is about revenge, it's not too cliche and predictable. Looking forward to the next episodes!
