Ok so this is the OG Chinese Paladin. I must start here. I am seeing the attache links here in MDL and Season 2 does not have casting yet but Season 5 already Aird and season 6 is known as Sword and Fairy starring Xu Kai and Esther Yu that is set to release soon. I really want to watch this but I don't know the correct way to watch it that would make sense. How come the seasons are not in chronological order? And it seems that prequels are being made and I think I also saw a side story/spin-off or two. I would greatly appreciate if someone were to make it make sense to me.
Does anyone know the correct order one must watch the Chinese Paladin? Because Season 2 is not released yet but Season 5 is released already. Season 6 is known as Sword and Fairy to be released soon starring Esther Yu and Xu Kai. I am just confused why the seasons do not seem to be in chronological order. Plus, there are spin-off stories or side stories. I see the other season's casting have my fave actors and actresses but idk how to start watching this epic story spanning years.
So I watched Jiu Liu Overlord more than a year ago and I got reminded of Leon Lai right now as I am watching Little Mad Doctor because an actor there resembles him. He is Li Jing Ze. I kinda want to re-watch Overlord now. LOL
First saw him in "Little Mad Doctor" and I had to double take because he looked like Leon Lai when he donned a historical outfit. It reminded me of "Jiu Liu Overlord".
Saw Zhang Jing Yun in a drama called My Honey and found out he's starring in this one! I am excited to see him as Male Lead because he was 2ML in My Honey.
Tried to watch on Youtube and other sites but sadly, the Eng subs were so confusing that 5 minutes in the first ep, I just dropped. Coming back in case it gets proper subbing. It looks interesting though.
Question: Is there any more xianxias set in Republican era and if so what are they? Kindly please recommend me some with happy ending preferably. However, I don't mind a sad ending as long as the plot makes sense with great cinematography and superb actors. Thanks in advance!
YangZi on “proper dramas” vs. “idol dramas”“i think if you can act well in an ancient costume drama,…
I love how she doesn't put down idol dramas. I have seen her in Immortal Samsara last year and would soon watch Lost You Forever. I really love her and the ways she acts in her craft. But I do agree that doing xianxia looks more difficult with the green screen, elaborate costumes with heavy head pieces/crowns/wig and the way they speak is different compared to modern day romance dramas. It's what I like about historical dramas: no phone scenes of texting and calling: they have to intentionally make an effort to see each other or write a letter and I think that's beautiful.
why do people hate chen duling so much? was she in a controversy? her acting is bad? there is solid reason to…
On Twitter (X), there are people allegedly saying she's rude to staff and tried to outshine her co-stars in TTEOTM. Take it with a grain of salt because not all you see on the net are true. She is a skilled actress though and I had always been in awe of her talent ever since I saw her work Love in the Flames of War (I dropped bc it's a sad ending but if it wasn't I would've finished it). And so I was thrilled about her casting in Till the End of the Moon as it was refreshing to see her play as a villain.
I know they both have said they want to do a Republican era suspense thriller together. So maybe it'll be something…
I hope that if they DO Republican era, maybe ease off on the philosophical stuff. It doesn't have to be a no-brainer watch but still insightful. Maybe have fictional elements/setting too. I sure hope that if they have a 3rd wheel/love rival, that it would be how Tan Taijin treated Ye BingChang hahaha. I don't really dig love affairs.

Now that you mentioned it, I think they would SLAY Republican era costumes. I just hope they have a happy ending bc a lot of Rep dramas tend to be so somber, sad/bittersweet ending and too philosophical. If they were to do a fantasy setting with the same vibes like that would be so cool. Lol but the time traveling trope might be over-used. I would also like it if they were childhood friends or 2 generals competing on different sides, slowburn with oozing tension... enemies to lovers. I'd watch just about anything with this pairing.
I bet they never give him the ml role because he doesn't have the "korean look", knowing how South Korea is like.
I think his thick luscious eyebrows reminds me of a certain European group. I would say Spaniards. But I might be wrong. Take for example this Filipino actor with Spanish descent: Iñigo Pascual. LSH's profile says he is Korean. But idk why he gives me Italian vibes.
Reading from the comments, I can finally start watching this and ship her with the one she ends up with. I know A LOT of people want her to be with others but now I got my answer, I shall root for the end game to protect my sanity.

Looking forward to more ML roles in the future

There's more tweets like this if you dig deeper. I'm not a Chinese speaker but if I was, Weibo is a good place to look into as well.

I know they were already in Love is Sweet but I prefer them in xianxias with these nice lavish costumes.
This drama remains in my timeline on Twitter so I can't get over it. >.<
