Dou Luo Da Lu

I have watched all the 11 episodes that have been released so far. It's interesting and thought provoking. The CGI is also top notch.

I am currently watching Douluo Continent and I am loving it! I didn't read the novel, nor watched the anime on purpose, because I didn't want to build up expectations, and as a fresh viewer I am liking the drama so so much - it's cheerful, funny and positive, and exactly my favorite kind of fantasy. The cast is great, Xiao Zhan is both super gorgeous and very convincing as smart, capable, kind and brave Tang San. :) I really love his character, the way he's keeping low-key, while being true bad-ass, the way he is nice and good, but not a pushover, but brave, strong-minded and principled. I like the main female character too, she's cute and bubbly, but very good at taking care of herself, a total oposite of usual damsel in distress, and I love it :) I like the story so far, it is intriguing, pulls you in and you can't wait for more, so I am really excited about it. As for the cgi - it depends, some are awesome (like purple demon eyes and soul powers), some not so much (like the spider monster), but too me it is more than passable and honestly, as a fan of fantasy dramas, I am used to it. It also occured to me that monsters could have been done like that on purpose, not to look too real, since it is aired on national TV at noon, when kids are watching, so I guess if monsters looked too real that could have been a problem with younger audiences... I love that Xiao Zhan did his own dubbing, but the sound overall (not just for him) isn't the best, I think that sound management could have been a little better, but it is not too distracting. Overall, it's interesting, funny and beautiful, and I enjoy it so much, I hope novel and anime fans will give it a chance and have understanding for the necessary changes. Afterall, the novel writer himself participated in development of the drama and was satisfied with the results, that should be telling enough. And, after the drama is over, I will definitely read the novel and watch the anime too :)

So I was a donghua fan of DC so when this drama was announced I was expected. First 3-4 episodes will feel like a bit slow for ppl already familiar with the story but this is necessary to introduce the story to ppl who still dont know the background. It starts picking up from ep 6 and let me tell you,I am floored by the special effects. It is worth to watch in HD,a visual treat. Im familiar with Xiao Zhan through the Untamed and soo far he's done an amazing job with tang san as well. For ppl who are into the mystery fantasy genre,10/10 would recommend . Go for it.

First I am not fan from book, manhua, or donghua. So I am pure drama fan. This drama is really good, from acting, direction, and special effects. It will become my bottomline for chinese fantasy drama next. The story is little confusing and dragging the first 5 episodes if you never watch/read other adaptation, but the more story grow and the characters evolved the more interesting it become. If you like avengers you can considered it china avengers. But seriously try to watch and persistent until you reach 7 episode you will be hooked by story, characters, direction and most importantly special effects.

This TV series is based on a book, but it's a modified version with added elements about the growing pain, success and exciting fighting to gain more skills/powers of a group of youth especially "Tang San" . There are splendid scenes with special effects. On top of that, Xiao Zhan, who is acting as Tang San, did an excellent job in portraiting Tang San since he's still a teenager. From the a bit of unconfident boy till he went through so much with friends, teachers, loved one together, finally became the most power one, Xiao Zhan showed step by step how Tang San grew up. Besides the fighting, the pain, the affection, the investigation game, this TV series is quite funny from time to time. Overall speaking this is an excellent TV series worth watching. Hope you will enjoy it too.
