try Eternal Love (2017) also entitled Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, the best cdrama ever.…
This isn't really directed to you guys, just everyone who is reading these comments in general:
I think that the hate towards the plagiarized story should just go to the author of the book (Tang7), not the drama itself. The crew, actors and director all did a phenomenal job with the drama, which escalated many of the actors and actresses' popularity.

I do have to admit, that the aspect of plagiarism is unacceptable and truly disgusting, but again, it isn't the fault of the actors and other people who were involved in the making of an awesome drama.

I really hope I don't upset anyone. Just trying to direct the 'hate' in the right direction. :)

it's a really awesome article ........ everything is clear and i loved the facts and the way it is presented.....…
I just replied to someone with a similar question. This is something that viewers tend to get confused with.

The Untamed has both Wuxia and Xianxia elements, so it's perfectly acceptable to call it a Wuxia or a Xianxia drama, but the Untamed leans a little more towards the Xianxia dramas, with its unique form of cultivation, and the groups of demons. The drama does have martial artists, but if you've watched more Wuxia dramas, you can see how the people in The Untamed practice martial arts differently than the people in Jiang Hu. :)

Thank you very much for this article!!! I was looking forward to it!! You did a great job explaining everything!!!…
Thank you! :)

Ooh, the Code of Honor!

Yeah, I did miss a lot of Wuxia aspects. It was really hard for incorporating everything in, but thanks for commenting about it!

Thank you! (and that is a great coincidence) :)

I thought Untamed was a Wuxia drama but I remember it was in the category for xianxia. Although most of it has…
As Estelll said (with an excellent explanation), The Untamed has both Xianxia and Wuxia elements. Many dramas are like this, with both martial arts and magic. Some people classify The Untamed as a Wuxia, while others see it as a Xianxia. As far as I know, the drama leans a little towards the Xianxia genre. (but it does have many Wuxia elements) :)

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.)

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!

I love so many of these characters, I really do. I don't know if it's their lovable personalities, or amazing acting, or both, but I just love them.

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!

Hwayi, stop wasting your time replying to this person. This is a command, not a suggestion.
On Immortal Samsara: Part 1 Apr 4, 2021
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!
On The Long Ballad Apr 4, 2021
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!
Replying to bluemacs Apr 2, 2021
is this drama worth-watching?
Yup! It's perfect for romance and Xianxia lovers! I see that you rated AoL 10, so you'll probably love this one as well! ^-^
