That's the line Chinese dramas seem to follow all the time. In Ten Miles of Peach Blossom, they had similar stuff. In fact, there are so many similarities especially with the settings (peach blossoms, heavenly palaces etc).
BL in Chinese drama? You must've lost your mind. LOL!!
That's what I thought myself initially: no bromance, only romance. I was so wrong. This is a "best friend forever" type of drama. Nothing is obscene or bad taste. Everything feels surreal, beautiful and cute. For once, I don't even mind there's no girl-kiss-boy or boy-kiss-girl scenes. The visual, flow of their clothing and hair, everything is just so beautiful. If you like anime, this is it with live actors.
In this drama, Wei Wu Xian seems to be running around Lan Zhan all the time. But behind the scene, it's the other way. Xiao Zhan seems to be surrounded by everyone, including Wang YiBo. The personalities of the two on screen and off screen are so different.
I will refuse to watch any Chinese dramas that take an original novel that was a BL novel and turn it into, at…
I haven't read the novel so cannot comment how this drama may have mutilated the original story. However, I must admit I like this drama.
I 100% agree with you on the part of China censoring the creative arts, making everything propaganda. It's so sad. China can produce world quality movies and dramas with their amazingly talented actors, both male and female. It's just too bad that this quality maybe buried and unappreciated.
I personally love Chinese historical dramas. I'll be so disappointed when they one day ban such dramas. It's really going to be a lost culture.
Just watched episode 34. Ling Xi is in the common realm and forgets everything about Jiu Chen. Comes Jing Xiu. I don't know if she is falling in love with him, but pretty sure he is for her.
For a person who has not read the novel nor watched the anime, this drama could be a bit confusing in the beginning especially with the editing. The zombies are not that convincing either. However, having said that, I'm totally drawn in by the story; it is very entertaining. I'm also unabashed to say that I'm attracted to the beautiful men. Their faces, hair, clothing, style, everything is so surreal as if I'm watching an anime instead of life person acting. I love to see the duo, Wei Wu Xian and Lan Zhan, one in black and the other in white; one blowing the flute and the other holding a sword or playing the guqin. The visual and images are simply so beautiful as if they were drawn on paper.
I normally shy away from bromance dramas. But this one is exceptional. It doesn't feel cringey. The love and respect between the duo is immeasurable and sweet. They feel more like soul mates for each other.
