Wu dong qian kun

I have just gotten into Wuxia and I watched who rules the world with Yang Yang and loved him. So I looked for something else he was in that would be similar. I am not a fan of fantasy really ( tho I loved Merlin) there was as extreme of an element. None the less I'm surprised this has only 13 reviews? Maybe I'll be lucky 14? Who knew Yang Yang could be so funny after seeing how serious he was in Who rules the world tho I loved" black foxy" and this character is closer t him. I don't like how goofy he is ( reminds me of one of the brothers in handsome brothers). I've watched about 19 episodes thus far so I must like it! Lol. I'll update when I'm finished if needed.

This movie has tons of cg, a quest like storyline, and interesting character development, besides his sister. good movie, decent actors, great story line, nice production value. this whole series reminds me much of the series known as "the paladin". china's putting out some big money to make this series, and it seems like there will be a part ii as well, which is gonna be nice.

This drama is one of my favorites. It takes you on an adventure filled with hardships, losses, failures, heartbreaks and sacrifices but you still end up feeling pretty good and continuing to root for your favorite characters. I admit that it was a slow start for me, but I stuck with it and without knowing it, I couldn't stop watching.

The cast did an awesome job portraying their characters. My personal favorites were Master Yan (Yang Hao Yu), Ying Huanhuan (Zhang Tian Ai) and of course, Lin Dong (Yang Yang). I haven't seen most of these actors in other dramas but I have seen Yang Yang in Love O2O, where he plays a character that was pretty 1-dimensional, and in Whirlwind Girl, where he played a 2-dimensional character. I'd have to say he really did a wonderful job portraying Lin Dong as a 3D character-- full of childish antics and rude remarks but still generally optimistic and unwaveringly loyal and very serious about protecting his family and friends.

This drama also featured many strong female characters, which is a rarity. Whether they were good or evil, they had a strong aura and didn't fall into the stereotype of being frail and unable to defend themselves physically or mentally.

The CGI was not perfect but still pretty well done. The music was non-traditional for a period drama, so it seemed a bit strange at first but actually worked really well with the story.

(Season 1) Again this starts off pretty slow and leaves you wondering for awhile when the characters will grow up because they are all quite annoying. When Lin Dong finds the Devour Talisman, he was ridiculously unwilling to take any responsibility and even less willing to improve in any aspect of life. Lin Qingzhu (Wang Li Kun) was ridiculously arrogant and Lin Huanhuan was ridiculously willful. The hardships they experience were far from linear and more often than not, they come up empty handed and at a dead end, but they somehow persist. The last episode featured my favorite scene, and when I first fully realized some character growth eventually did happen. It was pleasantly and surprisingly amazing!

(Season 2) This was a fun-filled adventure and there was more focus on Xiao Diao's and Ling Qingzhu's storylines/characters. Some unanswered questions from season 1 were answered here, but also left more unanswered questions. I did feel that the ending was rushed quite a bit and I was disappointed that some characters were not used to their full potential and others were kept ambiguous, hence I gave a 9/10 rating due to this. I am now reading the novel in search of answers to some questions. I'm finding that even though the drama follows the main storyline as the book, it is also very different, and makes me hopeful that a Season 3 will come out and reflect some of the additional storylines from the book.

So although not all loose ends were tied well enough, the ending was still acceptable and over all, this drama is still definitely worth the watch.

I love this drama , Now I'm still waiting for the season 3 .

When it will come ...

How should I put it..not a love at first sight much to do with somewhat crass editing but the story grows on you with a heart wrenching ending in Season 1. A lot of life long lessons and pains in the path of growing up, peppered with a bit of humor, mystery, danger and adventure. And love and magic !!! Awesome special effects too. Can't take my eyes off Yang Yang he's such a charismatic actor. All in all this is a great watch ! Can't wait for season 2!!!
