In honor of my recent hot royal uncle thirsting, I am reminded of the hot royal uncle from Novoland: Castle in the Sky, who really deserves a nice vacation in a cabin in the woods

Also, I maintain that castle in the Sky is the prettiest Zhang Ruo Yun has looked.

BIRDY EMPEROR!!!

Hello! I hope you are doing well. Lately I have only been interested in watching xianxia. And the recent ones like The Blossoming Love, Love of the Divine Tree and A Moment but Forever have really been doing it for me. Would you have some recommendations similar to these?

Awww, thank you! I am not sure which ones you've watched, but here are some of my faves:

Love and Redemption - everyone loves this one and with good reason. It has a strong FL and beautiful ML, multiple lifetimes of devotion, intricate world building, interesting themes, awesome secondaries, f u to fate, and it's just a great ride.

Love and Destiny - no relation to L&R but this is a great tale of a god of war accidentally awakened a little early and an immortal of interesting background. It's an age gap romance so mmv but I loved it.

The Legend of Shen Li - it has the same cottage core vibe that Tree has in some of its setting and like Moment features adult protagonists who actually have experience and life and goals and meditates on the meaning of love and living and eternity and divine constrain like TBL. One of my all time faves.

Lost You Forever - it really has such interesting things to say about family and love and damage and living despite it. I think it goes a bit downhill at the end but probably less so for someone who hasn't read the novel and the bulk of it is such a masterpiece.

The Legends - if you like saucy BAMF demoness and her devoted disciple, this one is for you.

The Blue Whisper - it has shades of established world order being evil, loving someone you shouldn't, and all the other good stuff.

Till the End of the Moon - I hesitate to recommend it because it is objectively a hot mess narratively, but it's such a gonzo tale emotionally and visually, that I will still throw that in.

Love Between Fairy and Devil - on the off chance you haven't seen that one, this is my n1 xianxia of all time and perfect in every way, imo.

Fangs of Fortune - I can't really say it's a xianxia (I can't even truly say what genre it is) but it does have gods and demons and rebirths so I think it would at least qualify as adjacent. It also is visually stunning and has such things to say. It was my favorite drama last year (that and JoL2)

Ice Fantasy - visually eye popping, great ensemble cast, ride or die OTP with a tough lady and a good man, this one is less known because it's a bit older but I adore it.

Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (also known as Eternal Love) - I think this is THE xianxia for a lot of people, myself included. Starts slow but then grips you and it doesn't let go.

The Last Immortal - this was criminally underrated but it combines a great cast, a lovely love story and a take on what it's like to be left behind.

Novoland Castle In the Sky - more xianxia adjacent than xianxia, this is still ridiculous fun mixing fantasy and steampunk, winged people and flying ships, and Zhang Ruoyun's performance as ML elevates the whole business.

Legend of Heavenly Tear: Phoenix Warriors - and now for something TRULY gonzo - aliens in spaceships meet period China. This is in no way a xianxia but I wanted to throw it out there :P

PS The one xianxia everyone loves except for me is Ashes of Love. I don't hate it or anything but confess to being bored throughout.

Novoland Castle in the Sky (28 episodes)

So many pretty people! So much teen angst and drama! I didn't watch all the episodes because it was just too many emotions. Great for teenagers but I’m just too old for that ish.

Synopsis:

Peace had been maintained between the Human Clan and Winged Clan for a century. However, the Winged Clan grew weaker as the Flower Fairy of Shooting Stars they relied on for their ability to fly went missing. Meanwhile, the Human Queen had been secretly constructing a floating castle with a blueprint stolen from the Winged Clan, preparing for war. Eighteen years later, Yi Fuling, the reincarnation of the Flower Fairy, escapes from a forced political marriage to the Crown Prince. With her father kidnapped and the whole country going after her, she seeks refuge from the Winged Clan's King.

i can't seem to find a gif with ju jingyi (i believe that's her name) having white hair and i'm going crazy because of it

also is that zhehan i'm seeing in the last two gifs??

[smittenskitten]

Poor dude. Just getting betrayed by his 'parent' figures.

[yingyanwardrobe]

[dramanovellife]

Girl escaped after her dad stayed behind and somehow she only remembered him after the ML asked her what happened... That’s some bad memory

Novoland - The Castle in the Sky (九州天空城) 2016

Feng TianYi  (风天逸) 

[renewedmotionforjudgment]

Top 10 cdramas (of all time)

With a few disclaimers: this is obviously an extremely subjective list based on my extremely subjective preferences. I love palace conflicts, enemies to lovers, grumpy-sunshine, and devoted MLs. I’m not a big watcher of xianxia as a genre (the last one I finished was …journey of the flower? Unless you count novoland: castle in the sky as one, which I don’t) and youth dramas. I’m also generally allergic to republic era dramas. But it doesn’t mean that there aren’t good ones, just not my genre.

Anyways, drumroll…

1. Legend of Ruyi (bc I refuse to call it Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace)

I wrestled back and forth with this and my #2. Funny enough, this one does not have a devoted ML (I think Qianlong is like the opposite). Zhou Xun’s acting is breathtaking and what a journey she takes you on.

2. Story of Minglan

This is pretty much what I wish BBC period dramas could produce and everything that Downton Abbey wished it could be. Yeah I said it. The only reason it’s #2 is that I rewatch Ruyi more.

3. Bu bu jin xin (step by step/original scarlet heart)

I have it higher than Gong because BBJX is one of those dramas that you see new things even upon the 10th rewatch. It’s also a master class on concise writing/directing.

4. Glory of Tang Dynasty

I’ve devoted a lot of posts about it. There are probably ones lower on my list that are objectively “better” but that entire list that I’m weak for? This contains all of them.

5. Legend of Zhenhuan

Funny enough, 5 years ago it would have been on the top of my list. It’s still great, but I just like the 4 above better.

6. Go Ahead

Wait, a modern cdrama on this list? Yes. What can I say, it’s a show where in the span of an episode I’m laughing so hard my stomach hurts and crying into a pillow.

7. Singing all along

I didn’t anticipate this would be so high up my list when I first watched it. But it’s probably one of Yuan Hong’s best performance to date and other than the enemies to lovers, it hits all of my kink. It does have an HEA (that’s not a spoiler, it’s based on 2 historical figures), but get ready for a lot of angst to get there.

8. Jade Palace Lock Heart

I maintain that it’s the best adaption of boys over flowers and I stand by it.

9. General and I

This is probably where my disclaimer comes in. Yes, there are plot holes. Yes, Angelababy’s acting is questionable. Yes, there are questionable CGI. Yes, there are pacing issues.

But it is a sweeping romance novel coming Tom life and hit every one of my kinks.

10. Battle of Changsha

A republic era drama on this list? That has motherland patriotic tones giving this first gen Chinese American very complicated feelings?

But it’s like Wallace Huo’s best acting to date. It is hopeful and heartbreaking at once.

(Honorable mention, goodbye my Princess which narrowly came in at #11)
