Wish Upon A Star

While it is not a weak to strong plot like Tang San and Zhang Wuji, it is a gripping drama of how the protagonist was forced by circumstances to practise unorthodox cultivation to protect the weak, and unwaveringly standing up against the big noble clans for truly righteous causes. Give this a go, or you might just miss a phenomenal drama

Do give this a go.. i do think it will be time well spent at the end of it. While there is no female lead, it has two endearing female characters: the best martial sister (shijie) to the protagonist, and the no-nonsense but compassionate Wen Qing. i'm not a BL fan, but was impressed by the strong bonds between the two male leads. More importantly, the drama transcends beyond BL, deeply questioning the rules of life and evil vs good. Good intro to the Chinese culture, sceneries and music as well.

you both are wiser; i dropped only after watching 4 episodes.. i also wonder why the high ratings for both seasons. friends who have liked season 1 indicated they didnt like season 2

i watched this exact 1st episode several times, as i simply didnt get anything at all. heck, i pressed on thinking it will get better, and finally dropped the whole show after 4 episodes, and 9 months after the 1st attempt at episode 1!
