Why are people trying to badmouth this movie? I don't know about every sword but I know that Xu Kai and Jing Tian were using real swords in some of the scenes. In fact, I don't think Xu Kai uses props. He is very skilled with real weapons. Jing Tian said the sword in the wedding night scene was so heavy to handle for her. I also remember she said the men's armour that she wore (smallest size) was quite heavy. The bow that Xu Kai bend across his back to fling it back is a real bow. I like to see someone try that trick without traning or practice. Xu Kai is also skilled with archery. He can shoot pretty good. I seen videos of him practicing. He was not using props. I feel this production, they really were quite demanding of the leads to do things that might cause them injury,. Jing Tian said that she was worried, but that Xu Kai is so skilled, he didn't harm her.

An arrow is considered a low-velocity weapon that causes injury only to the immediate area involved. The only type of arrow shot that would cause immediate or almost immediate unconsciousness and death would be a direct shot into the heart (and even that would need to be in one of the two ventricles for immediate death) or directly into a vital part of the brain or upper spinal cord. An arrow hit in any major organ or blood vessel will kill the victim, but not immediately. Therefore, it is plausible that a person can still move around and fight for a few more minutes after an arrow goes through their body, as long as it does not hit any critical organs.

I guess LI NI is one lucky guy. He had multiple arrows shot through his body.

how will you ever be able to enjoy a Chinese drama? It's not real life, it's meant for impact.

I'm watching Xu Kai and Jing Tian livestream. I just want to share so far what I've watched. It's really long livestream, watch the rest later.
1. The stone/pebble fly over the water was actually done by Xu Kai himself. It's a cinch for him.
2. Xu Kai: "You are so cute with that helmet resembling a watermelon, looking like a cartoon figure, while everyone around is looking manly." (episode 1)
3. XK: "The director said to me, Kai - ah - your hand, your hand when using the needle, don't be too feminine, you are a marshal."
4. XK: "The real scenario is just to shout once and then let go. But I improvised and shouted 3 or 4 times. I wanted to show how serious I am about marrying A Ying".
5. Jing Tian: "I like the scene you asked me my real name. That scene is so "Xu Kai" himself, unlike other scenes, Li Ni is so cool and handsome." XK: "We improvised that scene by ourselves"
JT: "Ah that's right, it was completely ad-lib. We added that by ourselves."
6. XK: "Actually, they asked me to eat round bread, I said no. Just give me some nuts or something and the crew happened to be snacking on sunflower seeds, so I said, just give me that." (episode 1).
7. XK: "some audience comment we use fake horse. It is not because we don't know how to ride a horse. Sometimes we cannot use real horse. We use both fake and real horse.
The horses are tall and very fierce (imported), very dangerous actually.
JT: "The road is very narrow. A lot of equipment including big and noisy drone is used and can get tangled in the trees and the noise can scare the horses. We have to work hard to control/tame our horses. My hand hurt a lot. If the horses go crazy, we will fall down the narrow road and get hurt.
XK; we have to put safety first so we have to use fake and real horses, so not to delay the shooting.

I too feel that Xu Kai can be a good singer if he trained his voice more. He already has a beautiful voice. Gathering from one of his interviews, I believe has spent time looking for voice training strategies. It's too bad he didn't have formal music lessons growing up, but he is naturally talented and can learn on his own. I recall in interviews, Wu JInyan and Jing Tian have both remarked how fast Xu Kai can pick up things on the set. I think they were referring to martial arts.

Draco, I watched Ep 31 trailer and would not be surprised at all if that was Xu Kai own voice singing because I have listened to his singing of The Pearl of the Orient on You Tube and it sounds like his voice. I love his voice, it's distinctive, soothing, and romantic sound to me.

I finally got to full episode 19. Can you enlighten me as to why the long sad goodbye between Li Ni and Ying, and then next thing you know, they are both on horses breaching the Western Capital together. I thought he said to Ying to wait for him, he will be back to propose to her. So, for the first time in the movie, I couldn't feel the continuity. Things pivoted on a dime. It felt weird. Then suddenly, LI Ni is in the palace, look and acts different, such a about change.

your definition of porn is all encompassing and broad from implied sex to explicit sex, and therefore baseless claim.

There is also plenty of humor. I also find LI Ni father and two brothers' characters are a comedy act, and the actors who portrayed them were superb.

thank you. I'm a bit shy about my comments. if people liked my comments, I tend to keep them. I have found this site very informative and interesting; I was surprised how active this site is and people really responsive to it. I got a bit overly zealous on my comments. I should give it a break. Perhaps when I finally get to finish al the episodes of WoL in coming weeks, I'll want to post again.

OK I guess I should not be posting so many comments. I've done more than enough. I will leave this site, then.

I am shy about my comments, is it okay to delete them if I change my mind?

no I'm a real person who is a Xu Kai fan. the only reason I'm here is that I want to support this movie. I read it was not getting much discussion so I thought let me do my insignifcant part and join a discussion

Ok you are more knowledgeable than me. I know there has to be CGI but I knwo they also built a grand set for Wonderland.

I saw an interview and the producer said the Wonderland scene where they are walking, sitting, and laying was an actual physical set of colorful grass, trees, flowers, that they built with over 100 workers. They actually rode the horses, in fact, Xu Kai fell off the horse once and it worried them. The horses were imported.

Jing Tian is dubbed too. It's not just Xu Kai. This is common in costume dramas.

after watching the full episode 18 which I have seen the goodbye scene in teasers, I realized I had no emotion watching the teaser, then I watch the full episode, I was very moved by LI Ni goodbye. That was one heck of a goodbye!

the original story is very sad ending

such a lovable man

Do these count as love tokens? In Royal Feast, the ML gave FL a necklace he personally made and lots and lots of paintings he painted of her. In ALP, the ML gave her a bead bracelet he made. In Dance of Sky Empire, there was that small round thing that allowed her to leave, and she held onto it as token of their love until later ML destroyed it out of anger. In AMA, ML made a necklace out of a button from FL jacket that he kept as a love token for himself but then he lost it and she found it and kept it.
