Is there some kind of primer on the Novoland series's? I've been thinking about dipping my toe into the pool, but there's so much info online that I'm not sure where to start or what I need to know before starting lol it's a bit intimidating...

Why would you need a primer when you have me, your friendly neighborhood obsessive?!

Basically, not sure how much you know about it, but Novoland is basically a shared world a bunch of authors play it. So shared species, georgraphy etc but you don’t need to have seen any other dramas to watch any further ones, sort of like you don’t need to watch any other dramas set in the Ming Dynasty to watch a particular drama set in that dynasty.

There have been four dramas and a movie released so far. From my most fave to least tho I like all of them.

Novoland Eagle Flag - loosely based on a series of novels by one of the two founders of the Novoland universe. It’s basically a drama perfectly tailored to my fictional preferences, which means it’s gorgeous, grim, and full of noble, conflicted and angsty characters. It’s smart and fierce and emotional and has a crazy attention to detail in things like battles and costumes. It’s high fantasy-ish (it’s not fully high fantasy imo). 56 eps (cut down from original cut of 68 that I would kill to get my hands on.) Some people didn’t like it because of its grimness/angst (so it would depend on whether you are an angst junkie or not; it’s not Royal Nirvana level of relentless pain, but it’s often tragic) and had fits about the ending but I thought the ending was fitting and liked it. (But I often like endings fandom has fits about; if you need spoilers, pm me.)

Trailer: https://youtu.be/M-ATw-s-zc8

Tribes and Empires Storm of Prophecy - taking place in a different part of the world/different time than Eagle Flag, with no character overlap. Based on a novel by the other founder of the Novoland universe. It is also the most visually stunning drama you are likely to see, unless you watch The Longest Day in Chang’an from the same director in which case they are neck and neck (side note - Chang’an is not part of Novoland in any way; but I still highly recommend it.) It follows a huge cast of characters but its mains are three men - a despised half-spirit prince, a warrior thrown out by his noble family because they believe he’s cursed to end the dynasty, and a barbarian warlord seeking retribution against the bloated empire. It is AMAZING. It’s 75 eps so if you want fast paced, probably not the drama for you, but I find it so dense and resonant and rich that I don’t mind it. Fandom had fits about the ending (it ends in medias res) but I didn’t mind because it was so so so good.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/NzyNqyACPg0

Novoland Castle In the Sky - if the other two are grim epic fantasies this one is basically a shoujo manga come to life. A young girl with a destiny; a powerless winged emperor. Unlike the other two, this clocks in at a slim 28 episodes. It’s much better than your run of the mill web romance/fantasy however for two reasons - the visuals are gorgeous and Zhang Ruo Yun who plays the male lead. He has since become a sensation thanks to Joy of Life, but he’s always been a complete scene stealer and he does it here. The script, while no masterpiece, is surprisingly solid for this type of drama. This one has two released endings - one tragic that had all the fandom lose its mind. The other one happy. Pick your own adventure. I will say that in light of Castle in the Sky 2, the happy one is the one that is the “real” one.

Have a MV: https://youtu.be/xWmX6mzkW6M

Novoland Castle in the Sky 2 - you do not need to have watched Castle 1, but it follows the adventures of the daughter of the OTP from it. She is the new empress, is in love with a magician, etc. It’s cute and Jeremy Tsui is a treat for the eyes, but I haven’t finished it yet. Everything I’ve read indicates the angst ratchets in the second half and I can’t wait.

MV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJAS2iVne4M

The movie is Novoland The Castle In the Sky Time Reversal. I haven’t seen it yet (I am not as big on movies as dramas) but it does look pretty. It’s the most tied to another entry in the series out of the bunch because it’s the story of the hot uncle from Castle in the Sky 1.

MV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQfzUrdRiT4

The two upcoming Novoland dramas are:

Novoland Pearl Eclipse, starring Yang Mi and William Chan, two of my huge faves, and rumored to come out in the summer. Trailer looks epic:

https://youtu.be/CfJ43yn3Flw

Novoland Princess from Plateau, starring Peng Xiao Ran and Feng Shao Feng, no trailer yet, but she marries him for revenge and he for schemes but they fall for each other for real, tragedy ensues.

Happy watching whichever one you choose! And if you choose none, happy watching whatever it is you do choose to watch!

Review: Love and Redemption

While I first started watching this drama out of pure curiosity of why people claimed it to be “the second most tragic drama” (after GMP, of course). While there are certainly aspects of this show that could be better, I find it fair to claim that it is a wonderfully made xianxia, and certainly one of the best in the genre within this decade.

Plot:

According to legends, the god of war saved the heavens in a deadly battle against the demon a thousand years ago. Both fell from the heavens and disappeared from the world. Chu Xuan Ji was born to the world lacking in the six senses which makes her rather clueless and inept. She befriends Yu Si Feng, the outstanding head disciple of Lize Palace who falls for her, thus beginning a xianxia romance that is entangled with the conspiracies from the past. The Zan Hua Tournament is being held in the Shaoyang Sect and its leader Chu Lei has two daughters - his trusted eldest daughter Chu Ling Long, and the youngest daughter Chu Xuan Ji who is lazy and terrible at martial arts. When Yu Si Feng and Chu Xuan Ji meet through a coincidence, they forge a friendship with each other. Yu Si Feng falls for Xuan Ji despite the harsh consequences that he must face as it is forbidden for students of Lize Palace to fall in love. Meanwhile, Ling Long clashes with Wu Tong after she criticized his foul actions at the tournament. In retaliation, Wu Tong accidentally injures Xuan Ji and gets expelled. Having recovered from her injuries, Xuan Ji promises to concentrate on cultivating. Four years later, Xuan Ji and Yu Si Feng meet again. Si Feng wears a mask due to a curse that can only be broken if he finds true love.

Cast:

Cheng Yi (成毅) as Yu Sifeng (禹司凤)

Yuan Bingyan (袁冰妍) as Chu Xuanji (褚璇玑)

Liu Xueyi (刘学义) as Hao Chen (昊辰)

Zhang Yuxi (张予曦) as Chu Linglong (褚玲珑)

My Opinions:

Plot (My Rating - A-):

First of all, I quite like the pacing in this drama. As the matter of fact, towards the end I actually feel like some things were rushed, not dragged out. It’s never a show that allows you to press the fast forward button, because 1. the tragic moments are super intense and dramatic, and 2. you don’t dare skip over the cute/funny moments because you know there won’t be many left. Second of all, I really appreciate that the writers of this drama really decided that they were going to make the most tragic drama ever. They really dedicated themselves to that craft, and I think they succeeded wonderfully. In terms of plot points, I absolutely loved the whole 9 lifetimes idea. It really brings out the tragedy and beauty of Yu Sifeng - he will do anything to protect those he loves, especially Xuanji. I would not complain if every single lifetime was made into a 45 minute episode, though that would be 405 more minutes of Sifeng being tortured by love on top of the infinite amount of minutes that already exist in this drama.

One problem I had, again, was with the misunderstanding that separated our two leads. I understand that this misunderstanding was one that had to do with the morals, backgrounds and fates with both of them, and thus was obviously meant to be a separating factor, but with the way the two characters were written, it felt odd that it created such an amount of misunderstanding. Overall, the plot was good, it didn’t have any revolutionary ideas, but it turned up the tragedy factor and had consistent pacing (if not too rushed towards the end). I’m sure there were probably a few plot holes here and there (one of which is why is it so easy to destroy that huge jar thing towards the end? If that’s what’s keeping the universe at balance, shouldn’t it take more than just one Yuan Lang to destroy it?), but overall, solid plot.

Characters (My Rating - B):

Sifeng is an absolute angel. He’s probably the most heroic lead in a drama who acts totally out of selflessness, who will help his loved ones no matter what pain it puts him through, and who can remain so kind, so unbothered mentally by whatever pain everyone puts him through. However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have faults. He acts irrationally in the face of love and he often mistrusts the people around him. He’s a very complete character that not only evokes viewer’s sympathy, love and admiration, but also makes sense when taking into consideration his morals. He rarely does things that are out of character. If I were to rate just his character I’d probably give an A+.

But, there are other characters in this drama. I do like Xuanji, not as much as I like Sifeng, but I like her more than most drama leads. Despite the whole lacking six senses thing being a super confusing plot hole of sorts (like she clearly likes people in the beginning, Linglong, Minyan, her father, and dislikes people, Wu Tong, but isn’t she supposed to be unfeeling? Also she screamed out of fear when she fell using the teleport tool etc etc), I liked how she wasn’t stupid, but simply naïve. She’s actually a pretty smart person, especially in the first half of the drama, when she defended Sifeng against the Five Sects, and then Minyan after he was caught from Tianxu Tang. She didn’t let herself be manipulated by her father or Hao Chen, but rather thought for herself, took into account what she knew of their characters and came to the correct conclusion that the Five Sects were being stupid. I found myself a slight bit annoyed when she took the Five Sects side on the whole Mosha Xing issue, but given that the argument was no longer Sifeng vs. her father, but rather demons vs. humans, I can sort of understand why she didn’t trust him. Also, he did lie to her a bunch of times so, I suppose that adds to the fact. Though, she failed to use the trait that I used to really like, which was the ability to take logic and character into consideration. Did she really think that Sifeng never loved her? Because like, with all the evidence right there in her memory, I find it hard for anyone logical being to come to that conclusion. Also, I really like how she eventually became as loving of Sifeng as he was of her. She was literally willing to destroy the world, and herself, just to save him.

As I have said before, no one likes Hao Chen, and that’s good. He’s obviously written to be a character that you should dislike, not only because he gets in the way of Sifeng and Xuanji, but because he is clearly so biased against demons (despite the fact that most demons aren’t even bad at all); because he manipulates Xuanji/God of War so many times and doesn’t even feel guilty whatsoever; because he always says “for the three realms” and yet happens to do things that will completely destroy the peace of the three realms. There are things to like about him, like I am pretty sure that he does actually care about the three realms, and he does want there to be peace, but his ideology about peace, and love, and war are just so skewed that he ends up doing the opposite of what he wants to do.

Other characters were mostly likable, like Linglong, Zi Hu, Teng She, Minyan (most of the time), Xiao Yinhua, Ruo Yu (sometimes), Wu Zhiqi, etc etc. Some were evil for no apparent reason like Yuan Lang (why does he want to control the three worlds? What happened to him in the past for him to become this power hungry? If these questions were answered this character could be sooooo much more compelling) and Wu Tong (again, why did he start out so violent and cruel? I understand why he become a demon and helped them, but like does he not realize that it was clearly his fault first?) Also, the Heavenly Emperor seems like such an odd character. I understand he is the emperor and so he shouldn’t hold his relationship with Bailin and Xixuan above their faults, but like why was he so okay with like letting a totally faultless Xi Xuan endure several mortal trials all ending with painful deaths? And if that was because he was being a good and fair emperor, why does he let a game board decide fate? He also just stood there while the world was ending, and it took Xuanji to convince him to help her. I would like to know more about this guy and his complete lack of ability to care about anything.

So overall, while I think the main characters were written very well, with complex characteristics, some of the villains were just left tools to push forward the plot.

Acting (My Rating - A-):

So first of all, Cheng Yi’s portrayal of Yu Sifeng was absolutely amazing. He brought out all of Sifeng’s traits super well, from shyness initially to the cruelness Mosha Xing to his loving gaze at Xuanji to the heartbreak in tragic parts. I’m pretty sure he’ll become a star after this show, and can I just say, he totally deserves it!

(Like can you see the pain in his eyes?)

I was pleasantly surprised by Yuan Bingyan here. I really like how her acting style changed along with the new role she took, as Xuanji she was bright and cheerful, as God of War she was heartless and cruel. You can see in the nine lifetimes that the way she reacts to Sifeng’s death slowly changes. Her crying scenes need a little more emotion, but overall, a super stable performance.

Chemistry/Romance (My Rating - A):

The chemistry was just amazing. I find it interesting that their kisses slowly got more and more passionate as time went on.

I think part of the reason they have such good chemistry is because of the acting. Like oh my god their tiny reactions to when the other gets hurt really gives it away that they love each other.

The romance was also written nicely. While some people complain that Xuanji didn’t suffer enough, I feel like they don’t have to be equal in suffering in order for them to be a good pairing. You could tell from the very beginning that Xuanji liked Sifeng in a different way from other people. And the fact that they went through nine lifetimes together, each one when Sifeng died because of Xuanji... it just makes their romance so much more epic. Add that with good chemistry, good kisses, and good acting, well of course people love this ship so much! Xuanji would destroy the world for Sifeng, because the only person that matters in her world is Sifeng. Sifeng would put himself through ten lifetimes of torture just so Xuanji can be happy, because so long as Xuanji is happy, he will be happy.

Music (My Rating - A): this one is simple. Just listen to the soundtrack and you’ll understand my rating. I didn’t give it an A+ though, because while all the songs are great, there isn’t one in particular that I love.

Costumes (My Rating - A-): Sifeng’s costumes are really pretty. Some of Xuanji’s are pretty too, they get prettier as the show goes on, but some of the ones early on were kind of meh.

CGI (My Rating - A+): the best CGI in a cdrama. Just look at the scenes where Sifeng shows his wings!

Overall Rating: A-

Recommend For: People who like xianxia dramas and dramas that try to incorporate a lot of themes. People who don’t mind their heart breaking a thousand times while watching a drama. People who want to find a couple that you have to root for. People who like super epic guzhuangs with lots of subplots, mythology, reincarnations etc.

Current Cdrama Watchlist Thoughts

The Legends / Zhao Yao (completed)

The Legend of Fuyao

Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms

Rise of the Phoenixes

The Untamed

The Romance of Tiger and Rose

The Legends/Zhao Yao

Just finished. Maybe knowing about the bad editing and confusing ending helped tamper my expectations, but I really really enjoyed this one. Loved the main leads together (everyone needs to watch their bts clips!). In general, had a lot of characters I liked. I was not too bothered by the side love stories, though I fastforwarded anything with Gold Immortal and Su Ruo. Oh, absolutely hated the night filter.

The Legend of Fuyao

This drama is really working for me though it is very early on (only finished up to 3). Fuyao is a gorgeous badass. The fake prince intrigues me. I hate the second leads (may begin ffing lol). But, I am super excited to follow the fl's journey as she rises to the top (the drama I wish The Legends had been). Crush those pretentious assholes.

Also, so many familiar faces from The King's Avatar and Nirvana in Fire! I recently rewatched Nirvana in Fire, so the second Marquis Xie appeared, I screamed.

Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms

I started this show prior to TLF, but I don't think I am in the mood for it. It is highly-praised and well-loved that maybe my expectations for it was too high. I am very frustrated by all the half truths and holding back of information by Ye Hua. I don't really care for Dong Hua and Feng Jiu though hoping that changes since I hear they get lots of screentime. Also, I liked Mo Yuan, and well...he's not around anymore. Oh, I also spoiled myself by watching movie first, and was terribly confused watching it haha I want to give the show a proper chance, so it is on hold for now.

Rise of the Phoenixes

Loved this one since episode 1 and have seen up to 10. Definitely a slow burn. It is absolutely gorgeous, and acting is great all around. I am watching this one slowly though, and giving it all my attention when I do. It is filling the void left by the Nirvana in Fire rewatch. I can't wait for the moment when everyone else realizes what Ning Yi has been doing all along. Also, excited for the hate-love relationship between Ning Yi and Zhi Wei. Avoiding all spoilers for this one.

The Untamed

On episode 20. Not obsessed, but I'm enjoying it. Acting is green with some cheesy CG and questionable writing, but the story itself is exciting and interesting. So many characters that I like and want to see more of. The show is doing a good job with relationship building. I care for all the characters, and feel for their losses. It is so rare to NOT want to fast forward in a cdrama lol I wish the villains especially Wen Clan had been less cartoony though. I don’t understand Xue Fang’s character yet. Also, the demise of Lotus Pier felt too quick, and same with Wen Clan’s downfall - maybe I just don’t have a good grasp of how much time is passing/has passed. Definitely very action-packed with lots of pretty. I've also been spoiled quite a bit, but avoiding as much as I can. (Side note - I want a drama on Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen.)

The Romance of Tiger and Rose

Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, well done romcom!

Probably the most fun I've had watching a romcom in a while. However, I also spoiled myself for just about everything, so I haven't exactly been rushing to finish this. I love everything I've seen, and I love all the characters. There are cliches abound, but I think there are just enough twists to them that keep me on my toes. The comedy can be a bit ridiculous, but it works. I really like how the fl is not a warrior badass, but she is definitely not a pushover either. She is not powerful, but she is able to accomplish a lot by being a good person doing the right things. She inspires others with words AND actions. For instance, Crown Princess test and mine incident. All that and she also got a great man who loves her wholeheartedly.
