Re-watching Soul Land Donghua - Commentary

I've been a big fan of this donghua since the first time I came across it, and I always come back to it. I adore the characters, the colors, the music, literally everything about it.

This rewatch, I'm going to post a running commentary.

LET'S GO!

THE Angela Zhang Douluo Dalu Soul Land theme song that was the theme song for S1, but also indicated when something epic was about to happen. As happened with Soul Land 2 and the Haotian Hammer reveal.

Right after the finale of Soul Land, a new tale will rise in Douluo Continent starting June 17. It will follow Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong in Soul Land 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect.

I'm watching Soul Land donghua and my bro saw me watching it. He started to do his hobby, questioning why I like to watch C-dramas and donghuas. Then he asked about what I'm watching and I explained it quickly. Just a quick explanation. Then he said, "Why do chinese animations have weird stories? I saw a chinese animation where there's this academy of whatever and one of the characters, a girl, came in a room, fought the boss, won and became the boss of the room and slept next to the boy she defeated. What's up with that? So weird." I paused the episode, turned to him and repeated what he said just to be sure. My bro said, "Yeah, that's what I said." I laughed before saying "Dude, that's what I'm watching." And he came over to have a look. "The girl wears bunny ears, doesn't she?" I asked. He said yeah. Then his 'questioning me on consuming chinese entertainment' attitude turned to 'why didn't you tell me you're watching that?' attitude and started asking about the donghua in a matter of seconds 😭👍🏻

Douluo Dalu / Combat Continent / Soul Land / 斗罗大陆

Tang San is one of Tang Sect martial art clan’s most prestigious disciples and peerless in the use of hidden weapons. With high expectations, the sect’s elders believe his future will be bright; yet Tang chooses to forsake this life at the cost of obtaining the sect’s forbidden lore—an action punishable by death. Tang, now content with his ascension of knowledge, sees no reason to keep on living and jumps from Hell’s Peak, but little did he know that that would not be the end of his existence. In Douluo Continent, the strong prevail and the weak perish. Each person possesses an innate spirit, some of which can be cultivated and strengthened, bestowing its user with various benefits. Those who were born with such spirits can become Spirit Masters, a profession regarded as one of the continent’s most noble. Tang, reincarnated into this strange world, knows only the life of a blacksmith’s son. At the age of six, he takes part in the Spirit Master ceremony, and discovers his spirit is Blue Silver Grass—supposedly the world’s most useless spirit. In contrast, however, he possesses strong spirit power. Now, aided by the memories of his previous life as well, Tang’s future as a Spirit Master is in no way bleak.

Tang San, a genius and a badass, a powerhouse who could reduce several cities to rubble, is always taken aback when Xiao Wu acts protective of him. He'd always been the protector, and yet, he finds he doesn't mind being the protected when it's his dear ones doing the protecting.

Now imagine, Tang San acting bullied just to see his equally badass wife thrash whoever annoyed him.

(Xiao Wu knows what he's doing and doesn't mind indulging him lol)

The other devils of the Shrek Seven Devils, on seeing this, would of course join in on the fun!

The plot, the characters, the motives, the setting? I regret not starting sooner.

Soul Land/Douluo Dalu (donghua)

I admire the world bulding and most of the characters, but since the protagonist became too OP I started thinking about dropping the show.

Coffee or tea: I like to drink both, but I can have coffee only few times a week, because my stomach can't handle it. I guess, I will go with tea.

For this I am tagging: @didnt-want-to-sleep-anyway , @mijudo , @tttterka, @artes-brainrot and @sandstormcz. I would really like to tag 9 people, but I don't know that many. Of course there is no pressure to do this tag game. (。・ω・。)

Douluo dalu / Soul Land / 鬥羅大陸 By 唐家三少

I read this some years back so my memory is somewhat hazy but it’s about Tang San (from the infamous and mysterious Tang sect) who died due to reasons, and reincarnated into Tang San of a different world and time, but with intact memories from his previous life, including secret weapons and special skills.

I’m a fan of the Tang sect ‘idea’ which you will find in quite a lot of Chinese MMORPGs. I remember really enjoying this novel and binged read until half way (or a two thirds) when I got tired of waiting for translated chapters (didn't like this enough to read it in Chinese), and not to mention the events were getting a bit ridiculous. Plus it probably didn’t help that I wasn’t too fond of the female love interest Xiao Wu. Still, this is a good read for those who enjoy levelling up, teamwork, action and adventure.

Rating: read if idle | ★★★

P.s as much as I love Xiao Zhan, I wasn’t that impressed with the live action drama version of Douluo. I guess it was always going to be difficult to recreate such a world using real people, and I know they did the best they could to make a decent adaptation but yeah, not for me. The donghua on the other hand, I’ve really enjoyed! If you can overlook the the western fantasy fusion setting thing going on (which I’m not too keen on, btw) then this is undoubtly something to get your teeth into!

The Rebirth of an Ill-fated Consort / 重生之嫡女禍妃 By 千山茶客

Similar to the author’s other works, but not her best. It’s your typical rebirth story where the MC gets a second chance at life and she spends it on revenge. I enjoyed the first part but I must admit my interest did wane towards the latter half because nothing stood out (I can’t remember how the story ended nor anything about the ML, oops). It generally reminded me of Malicious Empress but not as fleshy so I’m guessing it was probably the Malicious Epress Mark 1. Despite this, if you like this author and like this type of story then you’d probably be alright with it, just....read it before you read her later works.

Rating: read if idle | ★★

It’s such a delight to see Xiao Wu back in full fighting form! And willing to take the fights to the end. She looked so bouncy after utterly trouncing all those guys.
