lolalovesdramas

yes a wuxia for sure

Does anyone know of any costume cdramas similar to this? I want something girly and pretty, but with nice cinematography, gorgeous costumes, I don't mind romance but I don't want that to be the only focus

I would lowkey watch a spin off series of Zhuang Zhi Xing adventures as Field Officer

EP 27 IS CRAZYYYYY. One of the best episodes of television I have ever watched, the drums, the singing, the fighting, there was a tear in my eye. This is why I love costume cdramas.

I was looking at the photos for this drama and they are so visually gorgeous, the colour grading is a feast for the eyes! While i enjoyed parts of moonlight mystique the colours were quite garish. I hope i like this drama more...

*cries with you* China has so many good danmei. And the fact they've shelved so many shows is so sad!

Watch him in weak hero and twinkling watermelon. I think hes really charismatic

Don't waste your time honestly, if you want bromance try fangs of fortune

I'm not trying to be rude, but the only reason I wanted to check out this drama was for the BL/Bromance angle, adding two female love interests is just a massive slap in the face. If I wanted to watch a straight drama, why on earth would I choose a poorly edited cobbled together drama when there are dozens more with better acting, storyline and overall portrayal (for example Prisoner of Beauty, Flourished Peony, Love Like The Galaxy). I'm willing to give lower budget projects a chance if its BL/Bromance because I'll take what I can get. But why go out of your way to pick a BL manhua specifically (when there are dozens of straight stories) and adapt that? Its as if they are personally trying to aggravate people. And even if you can't make it BL, why not make it a bromance? Why does it have to have some half contrived romance slapped in, when you KNOW the only people willing to check out this garbage show are BL/bromance fans. Very disappointing.

can you give me examples? what's the BL novel? and the adaptation?

Yes in the poster he's wearing a red robe! I can't wait to see it! I think the Queen will be the final boss

Zhang Hai looks so good in court robes

I know, I just miss kdramas sometimes, I looked at some the kdramas that have come out this year and none of them have caught my eye apart from When Life Gives You Tangerines and The Haunted Palace

I 100% agree with you! Flourished Peony was gorgeous from start to finish, I'm still struggling to find another drama like it.

Hey you might enjoy Legend of Zhang Hai for a more serious plot. If youd prefer romance + a serious plot Love like the Galaxy and Flourished Peony is amazing!

You can try Korea-Khitan war which released in 2023!

Deffo watching this

Y'all I haven't watched a modern kdrama in monthssss, will this be the drama to finally pull me out of cdramaland, dun dun dunnnn

its a mini drama!

Just a thought because I know the show wouldn’t exist without this, but isn’t what the Masters did to Zhang Hai so incredibly cruel? He was a very young boy who has just lost his family and friends. Instead of helping him heal and move on, they deliberately planted ideas of revenge into his head which will undoubtedly put his life in terrible danger. I sometimes think what his life would be like if he moved away and lived a quiet life out somewhere. I notice throughout the show when Zhang Hai is progressing or showing happiness that his Master his will try to find a way to curb it. For example when he took Zhang Hai to his old home where his family was murdered. I think that was a truly terrible thing to do. I know that they want to stir up those feelings of revenge, but I can’t help but think its incredibly selfish...What did they tell Zhang Hai again? Trust no-one.
