Dismembered Dragon Lives On

This is my impression having seen the first ten episodes of this Xanxia:

It's not bad. It's watchable, and might even be..... * gasp* interesting!

Neo Hou isn't the most charismatic or versatile of actors. He only has two facial expressions, and, even when playing a character with a lot of power, he still ends up giving the impression of the nice guy next door, rather than a strong presence to be reckoned with. He has the presence of a short, nice guy who wouldn't necessarily win in an actual physical fight, but who is a nice guy, so you would cheer him on nonetheless. I bet some stubble would go a long way in improving his overall look. Nothing wrong with being androgynous, but it doesn't suit a character that is suppose to possess any type of strong mental or physical power. Lots of actors have femininity about them, but they are able to create a certain masculinity through characterization, other than just scowling. I don't dislike Neo Hou as an actor, and there are certainly much worse actors in Chinese Dramaland, but I offer this critique because I think it's valid. Certainly I find it difficult to dislike any actor who gives off such a positive "nice guy" vibe like this actor does. Can't help but notice his nose looks fake to me.

Our villainess is possibly the best written character out of the lot. She embodies all the negative aspects of female entitlement, greed, dictatorship, and manipulation, all in order to sooth the wound of being rejected and all as a cover for her low self-esteem. I found myself thinking this is possibly the best written antagonist I have seen in a Chinese Drama of the fantasy genre. The actress playing the villainess does such a great job here, despite being an icy and stoic person, she still succeeds in creating a rounded character.

Moving on, our FL, optimistic, naive, and even bubbly without being the village idiot. Well done to our FL and writers for writing a FL who is young without acting like a toddler. Our ML, though obviously supposed to be hundreds of years older than our FL, maintains a youthfulness about him so that the relationship never feels creepy or incestuous in any way. So far, so good. Doesn't seem like a really special drama, but doesn't seem bad either. Right now, it really feels "middle of the road", which is really good when it comes to the Xanxia genre. No characters I want to strangle have appeared so far. I hope the drama continues in this manner. Yes, the extras with the alien creatures masks on are totally cringeworthy, but I don't really expect a small budget production to be able to afford extensive CGI, and what CGI characters there are incredibly tacky, cartoonish, and out of place. Why they didn't just make them recognizable animal spirit characters from Chinese Mythology is beyond me, but that's OK. Story is what matters overall.

6.5 dragon horns out of 10.

Edit: It's getting boring now, and it's only at the eleventh episode. I might drop it now. The major obstacles have already been dealt with.

Non è Wagner

Del quale si diceva che fosse prolisso, ma divino. Qui invece dovremmo dire: prolisso, ma sciocchino.
La prima quindicina di episodi era abbastanza godibile, sia pur senza gridare al miracolo, gli attori non erano eccezionali, ma l'insieme era abbastanza godibile. Poi c'è stato un progressivo rallentamento, mentre la storia si impantanava in ripetitività e comportamenti risibili, big boss non troppo ben ammantellati, reazioni infantili ed eccessive, personaggi assurdi e antipatici.
Dà l'impressione di avere materiale per massimo 30 episodi, ma ce ne sono 40, e tutto è troppo lento e irritante. Immagino che ci sarà un lieto fine, ma non sono più interessata a scoprirlo.
Oltre tutto, il povero Neo Hou, come ebbi a dire già altrove, a umilissimo parere mio è stato rovinato da cattive plastiche, e ha il viso virtualmente pietrificato: a che serve essere bellissimo, se le tue guance sono immobili? Non si può recitare solo con gli occhi: l'espressività richiede bel altro, anche e a maggior ragione se il tuo personaggio è un po' impassibile. Non puoi sembrare costipato ogni volta che devi rappresentare un'emozione!
Riley Wang si difende bene e anche la protagonista Zhou Ye fa quello che può, ma in linea generale l'impressione è di una recitazione senza scintille, in linea con la noia dello script.
Taglio le perdite e abbandono la barca, che per me affonda. Se invece arriverà in porto, pazienza, avrò perso qualcosa.

Addictive Wuxia series, with Neo Hou, for binge watchers!

Superb Wuxia with Neo Hou as ML and Zhou Ye as FL, both awesome.

PLOT: The Duo / Couple with a ML (Dragon King deprived of his powers) and a FL (expelled from her sect), go in search of the dismembered parts of the Dragon God to reconstitute his powers and fight against evils. They are joined by a third guy, a Shadow Spirit (forgot his name :) inhabited by a demonic aura.

PROS:
+ Well-written story, like a “video game quests” with puzzles and obstacles to overcome to move on to the next level.
+ lively and intense CL interactions
+ dynamic narration, without length.
+ Very good casting with many experienced actors
+ Video game quality CGI

CONS:
- Final battle not very coherent (Dragon God at full power, who no longer really has the power to destroy the Great Evil) even though he was the main threat to it ?
- Happy ending a little short and not very coherent: FL reincarnated after 15 years, but who looks like she's 25 and who has all the memories of ML???
=> (very long) rewind of the entire storyline in episode 38.

There are 40 episodes of 35-40 minutes, but the episodes seem too short...

Almost a masterpiece (if the finale had been better).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Wuxia avec Neo Hou en ML et Zhou Ye en FL, tous les 2 géniaux.
PLOT : Duo / Couple ML Dragon King privé de ses pouvoirs et FL expulsée d'une secte, partent en quête des parties démembrées du Dieu Dragon pour reconstituer ses pouvoirs et lutter contre les evils. Ils sont rejoints par un 3e larron, Esprit Shadow habité par une aura démoniaque.

PROS:
+ Story bien écrite, du type "jeu vidéo de quête" avec énigmes et obstacles à surmonter pour passer au niveau suivant.
+ interactions du CL vives et intenses
+ narration dynamique, sans longueur.
+ Très bon casting avec beaucoup d'acteurs chevronnés
+ CGI de qualité Jeu Vidéo

CONS:
- Bataille finale pas très cohérente (Dieu Dragon qui n'a plus vraiment de pouvoir pour détruire le Great Evil) alors qu'il constituait la menace principale) ?
- Happy ending un peu courte et pas très cohérente : FL réincarnée après 15 ans, mais qui a l'air d'en avoir 25 et qui a tous les souvenirs du ML ???
=> reconstitution chronologique de toute la storyline dans l'épisode 38.

Série addictive, pour binge watchers ! Il y a 40 épisodes de 35-40 minutes, mais les épisodes paraissent trop courts...

Almost a masterpiece (si le final avait été meilleur).

It was an okay watch

truth be told i think THEOM(Till The End Of The Moon) broke me like this c drama couldn't hit all the emotional notes i was hoping for don't get me wrong i did enjoy it but it was an okay watch. I don't want to write the wrong thing cause we all have our own perspectives on things and the last thing i wanna do is make someone turn away from a show they will enjoy. So it does end in tragedy but it doesn't leave a sour taste but the ending seems opening ending cause FL is there in the mortal world. I enjoy tragedy Let get that out of the way this may have looked like it ended in tragedy but not really because like i said the ML found FL in the mortal world. Which is why i said it was an okay watch. i like a good tragedy but this couldn't make it don't get me wrong the story, acting, and music were all good but honestly, i think THEOM broke me like i don't feel sad when watching this like Jesus i was ready to get my tissues but my eyes just got watery no tear much less tears drop. I feel like this was a comedy because it did get me to crack up anytime is see Bai Xiao Sheng(Riley Wang) scenes he is the comic relief.

Après la trahison d'un amant, l'ancien dragon Tian Yao s'est retrouvé grièvement blessé et le cœur brisé. La femme qu'il aimait l'a trahi en le démembrant et en le dépouillant de ses écailles de dragon, puis en scellant les parties de son corps à cinq endroits. Ce n'est que par chance que son âme s'est échappée. Aujourd'hui né de nouveau, il rencontre Yan Hui, qui jure de le protéger pendant qu'il récupère ses os manquants. En découvrant un phoque dans un lac, Tian Yao voit son opportunité. Après avoir rencontré Yan Hui, Tian Yao a repris espoir, sachant qu'elle possédait son échelle de protection cardiaque qui pourrait briser ce sceau. Tian Yao utilise Yan Hui pour récupérer les parties de son corps volées. Yan Hui planifie alors son évasion mais échoue. Étonnamment, elle constate que leur relation s’approfondit avec le temps. Tian Yao admire les efforts répétés de Yan Hui pour le sauver, tandis que Yan Hui apprécie le lien fort qu'ils ont créé. Les mystères abonderont à mesure que Yan Hui apprendra sa véritable origine.

BEST XIANXIA SERIES YET!

Tbh the whole storyline was crazy well made. The entire plot was unique and I had so much fun watching this series.

Let me start with the cast: WHY IS NEO HOU JUST SO GOOD. The chemistry the FL-ML played is just so professional. Loved all the cast members none of them failed to surprise me with their deep into character acting.

Storyline: Usually back stories and stuff are complicate and twisted but NOTHING. The back story was totally understandable and the flow of the story was mesmerizing. From the beginning till end everything was connected.

Music: This series contained some of the best soundtracks. Nirvana and floating being just SO GOOD it's literally crazy. I kinda wish they used nirvana in more scenes but it's ok. Also liu Yuning did a great job with the music too, it was so touchy and seemed as it was emotionally connected to the story line itself. Represented Tianyou in every way.


Ending: I was expecting a little better ending but I'm super glad it's not an open ending. For someone like me who gets emotionally involved in a series, I have to watch a happy ending. I'm super glad the FL-ML got a great ending and I can't forget about the Supporting cast. Loved how they got together and the ending involved a kiss scene ahhh

Overall: well IT WAS GREAT. The crew did a great job and especially huge thanks to the screenwriter for making it look so professional done. Never forgetting this series now that I'm emotionally connect with neo you.

Aieesh

I made a short list of C actors who are limited in range either because they can’t emote or are one-trick ponies who play a specific type of character. Sadly, our male lead tops the list. How on earth did he become an actor when all he does is look pretty and/or melancholic while giving the audience absolutely nothing?

Who made the executive decision to cast him as the lead? I mean judging by the quality of props and CGI it’s evident this is as low budget as they come; therefore, it makes sense that the actor’s pay would only attract B and C-list actors and maybe he was the only one to accept the lowball offer. These are conjectures, however, if taken into context then it makes sense as to why the production could only cast newbies.

Likewise, the plot was just laughably flawed. It painted our hero as not being very bright otherwise how could he have been so taken by a woman to the point he lost all sense of self-preservation? And clearly, he must not have been that powerful if that deranged and obsessed woman could take him down without a fight. Sigh

Lastly, the FL actress tried her darnest to carry the drama alas, it was an uphill struggle that even she, being as pretty and charming as she was, couldn’t achieve.

IMPRESS USE KILL REVIVE LOVE USE ABANDON KILL

Hmm... The visual fx is quite good with cute little creatures and especially the dragon it's quite astonishing, as for the story it's not bad we can go on watch it to pass the time. The production is not quite alright it's not been half of the series yet the ml thrice pierced the heart of the fl who was born with a weak heart. Why does he have to pierce the heart of the fl to take out the heart protecting scale it's not quite the same when he took it out from his heart. So i should say it's discriminating. In 1st ep he took out the scale and threw it out without much of a problem but everytime he uses the scale from her heart he pierces her heart.
Heroine falls in love with him while he remains unmoved even though he has feelings it's not a new thing to us but he is typically using her and he then abandons her in later half . What's the meaning of this? Use abandon kill strategy even though he loves her we viewera can't feel it.

I'm actually about to cry.

We all have emotional boundaries when we're watching shows and this one crossed mine.

I was LOVING this. It was sitting at a solid 8.5 rating. I was sitting thinking I had found another favourite for my list. A FL I could support. Humour that landed on me. A plot I was invested in. Gone in a 30 second scene.

My no.1 rule for writers is when you use violence against animals and children, you do it tastefully.

This 12 rated show can't show us a proper kiss but is perfectly happy to show us a baby getting his eyes gouged out. A BABY, screaming and crying, while a man puts his fingers through his eyes. Telling us is one thing. Actually showing us it, is another.
But heaven forbid you show us an actual proper kiss between two lovers.

No. Just No.

You suck and don't deserve anymore attention.

This is the first xianxia drama I have ever watched and I didn’t expect it to be THIS good

I watched this because I always follow Neo’s works. However, when I searched what “xianxia” was I thought it might not be my type because of the magic powers and CGI (and the plot would likely be confusing).

BFTB is amazing though! It’s not boring or confusing at all. The leads did so well and their chemistry is excellent. The drama has a great balance between humor and heavy topics. Bai xiao sheng (especially in the first few episodes) never failed to make me laugh. Baby Tian Yao is also so adorable. And of course, badass Yan Hui is gorgeous.

I loved this drama so much! Will definitely rewatch this!
