The first two episodes of this drama were average, but I didn't expect it to get better and better later on. It has a taste of the "Xianjian" game, constantly progressing with the plot, one exciting development after another, without dragging it out. The characters in the main ensemble are all very well-designed! They help and love each other. The female lead is lively and adorable, looks good from any angle, and has good acting skills. The male lead portrays the enthusiastic, pure, and straightforward young hero very well. Both the male and female leads are youthful and pleasing to the eye, and they have great chemistry. This drama is different from the typical fantasy martial arts dramas nowadays. It's not solely focused on romance and love. The plot is very rich, with a fast-paced rhythm, and it encompasses friendship, gratitude, righteousness, and emotions.

I'm not a fan of Chen Zhe Yuan, no bias, but I think he did a decent job in his performance. When Yun Tian He learned that his father might be the killer of Xuan Zhen, while the other disciples were scolding Yun Tian He, his eyes turned red, expressing restrained, sorrowful, and incredulous emotions... He really brought out the emotions that needed to be portrayed.

The storyline progresses layer by layer, and the young actors are flawless. It has a strong sense of passion, and the values portrayed are also commendable. Yun Tian He will become a true hero to save the world, and Chen Zhe Yuan is truly impressive. He can portray any role convincingly. Mao Zi Jun has surprised me; I hope the plot doesn't collapse later on. Tao Ke needs to step up her game. The neighboring drama with all the excessive romance is annoying. If Xianjian 4 doesn't fall apart, I will definitely see it through to the end.

Friends should not deceive each other." Well said! Nowadays, many people get immersed in romantic relationships and often overlook the importance of companionship and cherishing friendships.

It's just terrible. The semi-permanent makeup and semi-permanent acting skills from four thousand years ago, even the male lead is bad. Neither of these two are suitable for playing the second female lead or the second male lead. Especially Four Thousand Years, she has no acting skills to speak of and yet she dares to tear others down. Can her own acting skills even hold up? Disgusting. She should pack up and leave the entertainment industry, why waste resources?

My goodness, they ruined my beloved Xianjian! The female lead's voice acting is unbearable, and her acting skills are worrisome. The male lead is slightly better in terms of acting, but his looks are not up to par. The plot is also not captivating enough. I gave up on the drama after watching only three episodes. It's just ugly and a waste of time.

I've watched four episodes of both Four and Six, and they both deserve a failing grade. The pacing and acting in both dramas are ridiculous, but compared to Six, at least the female lead's face in Four is somewhat tolerable. Both of them are just a pile of crap. Also, the one extra star I'm giving is for the BGM in the game. Don't misunderstand, the BGM in "Dreaming Immortal" is exceptionally well done! It's absolutely fantastic!

The female lead is such a turn-off. Please, if you're going to adapt a story, do it properly. Liu Yifei played 16-year-old Zhao Ling'er when she was 16. Han Lingsha is supposed to be 17, but they cast a 30-year-old to play a teenage girl, and her acting is terrible. She turned a lively character into a clownish one. It's really hard on the eyes. I'll give it 1 point for nostalgia.

They took a successful career woman and slapped on a love-struck, substitute lover plot. It's insane! Mengli is someone you'd want to call the police on!

In the early stages, he was really playing the role of a silly and naive character... Haha. Ju Jing Yi's performance is also average, both in terms of makeup and acting, it feels like a copy-paste job... But the plot is still decent, so it's something to watch when you're bored.

After watching it, I can only say that the acting is slightly better than Huarong, but not by much. This is the first drama I've seen with the male lead, and it didn't bring any surprises, expectations, or feelings. The overall quality of the drama is decent. Since I haven't played the game or seen the game's storyline, I feel that the plot of the TV drama flows smoothly. The visuals are also alright. Once the updates are finished, I'll probably binge-watch it when I have free time, but it's unlikely that I'll watch it every day. Overall, I give it three stars.

The physique of the male lead, Yun Tian He, is so weak that his body can be torn apart with just one hand. Han Ling Sha's makeup is stiff and cumbersome, which doesn't match the identity of a tomb raider. Mao Zi Jun lacks the cold and aloof temperament of Ziying.

The callback is spot on!

In the Chenzhou instance, Beike used Han Ling Sha's soul to coerce Yun Tian He, and without hesitation, Yun Tian He decisively exchanged the Wanshu Sword, saying, "They're using Ling Sha's life to force me, and I have no choice! " How can one not love Tianhe, who is so loyal and righteous!

I absolutely despise how there are fewer and fewer real scenic locations in current Xianxia dramas. I understand the need for quick production, but can't we at least find some beautiful outdoor settings to shoot in? The special effects are slightly better than cheap quality, maybe seven out of ten. It's all flashy and showy, not appealing to fans of the original work or gamers. The plot is barely tolerable, but I simply cannot bear to look at the casting choices. Isn't it a bonus to have more mature actors with charisma for portraying accomplished individuals? Wouldn't that make the audience feel more immersed? Putting on a white wig and some makeup doesn't automatically make someone an accomplished expert. I'm not saying young actors can't do it, but at least put some effort into the makeup, and can we find some actors with better acting skills? Even a dog could perform better than these so-called experts. I've watched up to the eighth episode, and I can only give it this rating. I see a downward trend in the future. Lastly, if you have better dramas, please abandon this one without hesitation. If you really have nothing else to watch and you're not a fan of the original work or a gamer, you can give it a try.

Yun Tian He is an innocent and naive character who has never experienced the world, not some lewd pervert who drools at every woman he sees. Han Ling Sha is a spirited and righteous older sister, not someone who awkwardly overacts. Xiao Zi Ying is a genius young boy with a cold exterior but a warm heart, not a world-weary, glaring monster. Meng Li is supposed to be a stunning beauty, not a wooden plank! I can't believe how poorly they cast and portrayed these characters. And what in the world is that pig demon? My spectacular entrance as Xiao Zi Ying in the game was fragmented into countless scenes of "Huluwa Saves Grandpa." What are they even trying to modify?

The plot is getting more and more exciting. It gives me a feeling of a four-person team in a fantasy world leveling up and fighting monsters. The preview for tomorrow shows a village with lost consciousness turned into zombies, which instantly takes me back to the zombie scenes when I was a child watching "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". It gives me a mix of fear and love, and I can't wait to see it.

The exaggerated voice acting of the male and female leads is driving me crazy.
HeartlessOnlooker11 months ago rating:8.6
The overall content is similar to what I expected from a game. It brings back memories of playing games back then. The first 1-2 episodes were a bit flat, and I was startled by the exaggerated acting of the male lead. But as the story progressed, the acting improved, and the plot became more engaging.
The female lead did a great job, breaking the stereotype I had of her. At the beginning, she approached the male lead with a purpose and portrayed it well. Even when she was possessed twice, she maintained the same appearance but portrayed three different personalities. It's commendable. She used to play only one-dimensional characters, which is a pity. I hope to see her play more diverse roles in the future.
The cinematography and presentation were well done, without excessive filters. The plot follows the structure of a game, progressing through different stages with the main character. As they advance, the plot gradually unfolds, and the script has a rhythmic and logical pace. Some parts were adjusted and differed from the game, but overall, it flowed smoothly. In terms of the romantic storyline, the main characters evolve from not understanding emotions to supporting and helping each other, and eventually, they unconsciously start to value and care for each other. Along with the events that happen during the game levels, the progression is well-executed.
It also captures the essence of the past when humans cultivated immortality for the sake of righteousness. I would recommend it to those who enjoy ancient costume fantasy dramas.

The plot is really good. Tianhe is quite handsome, Lingsha is also very beautiful, and even though Mengli didn't look that great when she first appeared, she actually becomes more and more beautiful as the story progresses. Ziyin has a slight feeling of being like a soft white tofu. The pairings between the four characters all have a strong CP (couple) vibe, and I found it very satisfying to watch. However, I heard that the ending is not good, which is a bit disappointing.

My favorite game (without reading the novel)... has been turned into a love-focused drama, with even the boss Su Yao transformed into a character driven by romantic interests! The prince's quest for immortality and descent into darkness has been completely swindled. Will there be any hope left if they turn Qionghua into a righteous faction later on? The original game story was true xianxia, mocking the high-ranking individuals who pursued eternal life and power, while the ordinary people fought for justice, slaying demons and sacrificing themselves to save the world. The perfect ending was death or injury, and those who became immortals were forever lonely. I only loved this part of the Xianjian series, as the production team, in their final stand before disbanding, carried many ideals beyond commercialism. The original romantic plotline thrived on ambiguity, and the best romantic scenes were the ones left unsaid. Once the adaptation made it explicit, it became a mess. The original game characters were crafted to please, even covering up the vulgar aspects of a male protagonist with two female love interests (because the protagonist, being a wild child, doesn't understand love and just wants to hunt wild boars and eat them with everyone). The TV series understands too much and yet is still vulgar. The original male lead saw Ling Sha as a buddy, never having any romantic inclinations, but in the drama, he's infatuated with her from the start? This male lead is too slim and portrayed as clever, unlike Yun Tian He's original personality. Can't they accommodate simplicity? The actor for Ziying is too ordinary, lacking the delicate beauty of Mengli's character.

But more importantly, through her natural and fluent performance, she successfully blends Han Ling Sha's cunning and kindness, leaving a deep impression on people. Her acting skills give the character more depth, allowing the audience to not only appreciate her appearance but also feel the charm of the character.

In the past, actors used to study the IP carefully and interpret their roles with dedication. Now, it's all about capitalizing on popular IPs and promoting rubbish. Their performances are full of exaggerated gestures and lack any coherent character development. But they can find something to eat even in a pile of shit. The marketing team has finally hit the jackpot. That moment when the brother exploded with anger was so cool, it was worth enduring the first few episodes... Everyone, please be patient.

As someone who has never played the game, my impression as an outsider is that the beginning has the typical art style of many fantasy martial arts dramas these days. I'm not a fan of the character design for the female lead, and as for Ju Jing Yi, she's quite beautiful, but the only impression I have of her from a few dramas I've seen is her perpetually red eyes... After watching one episode, I find it average, without any particularly captivating aspects.

Pros: The visuals are really beautiful, despite the issue of homogeneity. But good-looking is good-looking, and it's pleasing to my eyes. The plot is decent.
Cons: Yuanzi in Episode 4 is indeed a bit... greasy (but looks much better after losing weight, the olive tree spoiler is not bad). The dubbing doesn't match the actors' lip movements, and the production design falls short. Not a fan of the male and female second leads, and the overall acting skills of the cast are mediocre.
Overall, it barely passes. I watched four episodes and gave up.

Who on earth let the male lead, who is so ugly, play a historical drama role! The female lead's acting skills are extremely poor, burdened by her idol image, she can't let go and as a result, her emotions appear overly restrained. She constantly showcases her enchanting and pitiful face, it's really better for her to quit acting. After so many years of acting, she's always the same, it's truly astonishing. The only thing worth praising is the special effects, everything else is lacking...

That's right, in ancient dramas, the male lead must be handsome. Ju Jing Yi is at least quite good-looking. The male actors have downgraded from Hu Ge and Huo Jianhua to these two individuals whose names I can't even recall. Isn't it obvious whether someone is handsome or not at first glance? The difference is just too big. Even with heavy filtering, they are still ugly.

It doesn't quite suit the lively male lead character design.

Not very appealing. Ju Jing Yi is beautiful, but her beauty is on par with Hua Rong's handsome scholar Jia Nan. No distinction, no exaggerated expressions. Chen Zhe Yuan is not good-looking, not as handsome as Xu Kai next door. Chen Zhe Yuan has a good personality and is genuine, but his acting skills need improvement. The plot of "Xian Jian Si" is weak, and the male lead's character is foolish. The screenwriter is also lacking, it's all messy with no coherence. "Qi Jin Chao" is good-looking and has a complete storyline. The first episode of both dramas is good, but in comparison, "Qi Jin Chao" has better production value and special effects. Mao Zi Jun is still handsome, and his storyline is worth watching.

The awkward set design and acting with caked-on white makeup are abnormal characteristics. Doesn't the domestic aesthetic know better? Is it a reflection of regressive audience taste or the rampant money laundering by capital behind the scenes? China doesn't need this kind of juvenile white-faced drama. What we need are authentic and heartfelt historical puppet shows. This is not what a historical puppet show should be like.

The overall content is similar to what I expected from a game. It brings back memories of playing games back then. The first 1-2 episodes were a bit flat, and I was startled by the exaggerated acting of the male lead.
But as the story progressed, the acting improved, and the plot became more engaging.
The female lead did a great job, breaking the stereotype I had of her. At the beginning, she approached the male lead with a purpose and portrayed it well.
Even when she was possessed twice, she maintained the same appearance but portrayed three different personalities. It's commendable. She used to play only one-dimensional characters, which is a pity.
I hope to see her play more diverse roles in the future.
The cinematography and presentation were well done, without excessive filters. The plot follows the structure of a game, progressing through different stages with the main character.
As they advance, the plot gradually unfolds, and the script has a rhythmic and logical pace. Some parts were adjusted and differed from the game, but overall, it flowed smoothly.
In terms of the romantic storyline, the main characters evolve from not understanding emotions to supporting and helping each other, and eventually, they unconsciously start to value and care for each other.
Along with the events that happen during the game levels, the progression is well-executed.
It also captures the essence of the past when humans cultivated immortality for the sake of righteousness.
I would recommend it to those who enjoy ancient costume fantasy dramas.
Ah, the special effects are amazing, and the plot is great too. Ju Jingyi, you're truly... your hard work is visible to the naked eye. Han Lingsha, you portrayed the agility so well.
The expression you had when switching identities was spot-on. These two episodes are like elixirs of life, so captivating, so captivating! ????????
Since I've only watched three episodes, I can only say that I had absolutely no expectations for the male and female leads when I first started watching. I viewed them as blank slates, which led to a slight surprise while watching this drama.
I can only say it's average. If you're bored and want to pass the time, and happen to enjoy watching fantasy martial arts dramas, you can give it a try.
The plot is really good. Tianhe is quite handsome, Lingsha is also very beautiful, and even though Mengli didn't look that great when she first appeared, she actually becomes more and more beautiful as the story progresses.
Ziyin has a slight feeling of being like a soft white tofu. The pairings between the four characters all have a strong CP (couple) vibe, and I found it very satisfying to watch. However, I heard that the ending is not good, which is a bit disappointing.
My favorite game (without reading the novel)... has been turned into a love-focused drama, with even the boss Su Yao transformed into a character driven by romantic interests! The prince's quest for immortality and descent into darkness has been completely swindled.
Will there be any hope left if they turn Qionghua into a righteous faction later on? The original game story was true xianxia, mocking the high-ranking individuals who pursued eternal life and power, while the ordinary people fought for justice, slaying demons and sacrificing themselves to save the world.
The perfect ending was death or injury, and those who became immortals were forever lonely. I only loved this part of the Xianjian series, as the production team, in their final stand before disbanding, carried many ideals beyond commercialism.
The original romantic plotline thrived on ambiguity, and the best romantic scenes were the ones left unsaid. Once the adaptation made it explicit, it became a mess. The original game characters were crafted to please, even covering up the vulgar aspects of a male protagonist with two female love interests (because the protagonist, being a wild child, doesn't understand love and just wants to hunt wild boars and eat them with everyone).
The TV series understands too much and yet is still vulgar. The original male lead saw Ling Sha as a buddy, never having any romantic inclinations, but in the drama, he's infatuated with her from the start? This male lead is too slim and portrayed as clever, unlike Yun Tian He's original personality.
Can't they accommodate simplicity? The actor for Ziying is too ordinary, lacking the delicate beauty of Mengli's character.
Xiao Ju is amazing. Her sweet appearance undoubtedly adds a lot of charm to the character. Her watery big eyes and petite mouth seem to be able to utter touching words. But more importantly, through her natural and fluent performance, she successfully blends Han Ling Sha's cunning and kindness, leaving a deep impression on people.
Her acting skills give the character more depth, allowing the audience to not only appreciate her appearance but also feel the charm of the character.
The looks of the main actors and actresses are actually decent, but their acting skills are really lacking. I was curious during my drama drought and watched a few episodes. The plot is really weak, it's like they're making a terrible film under the banner of "Immortal Sword".
It's impossible to surpass the classics, but at the very least, the plot shouldn't be so perfunctory. And the special effects are like child's play, you can easily tell that they weren't done with much care!
In the past, actors used to study the IP carefully and interpret their roles with dedication. Now, it's all about capitalizing on popular IPs and promoting rubbish. Their performances are full of exaggerated gestures and lack any coherent character development.
But they can find something to eat even in a pile of shit. The marketing team has finally hit the jackpot. That moment when the brother exploded with anger was so cool, it was worth enduring the first few episodes... Everyone, please be patient.
This drama will become a classic after a hundred years, I swear! Believe me!
As someone who has never played the game, my impression as an outsider is that the beginning has the typical art style of many fantasy martial arts dramas these days. I'm not a fan of the character design for the female lead, and as for Ju Jing Yi, she's quite beautiful, but the only impression I have of her from a few dramas I've seen is her perpetually red eyes...
After watching one episode, I find it average, without any particularly captivating aspects.
Pros: The visuals are really beautiful, despite the issue of homogeneity. But good-looking is good-looking, and it's pleasing to my eyes. The plot is decent.
Cons: Yuanzi in Episode 4 is indeed a bit...
greasy (but looks much better after losing weight, the olive tree spoiler is not bad). The dubbing doesn't match the actors' lip movements, and the production design falls short.
Not a fan of the male and female second leads, and the overall acting skills of the cast are mediocre.
Overall, it barely passes. I watched four episodes and gave up.
Who on earth let the male lead, who is so ugly, play a historical drama role! The female lead's acting skills are extremely poor, burdened by her idol image, she can't let go and as a result, her emotions appear overly restrained.
She constantly showcases her enchanting and pitiful face, it's really better for her to quit acting. After so many years of acting, she's always the same, it's truly astonishing.
The only thing worth praising is the special effects, everything else is lacking...
That's right, in ancient dramas, the male lead must be handsome. Ju Jing Yi is at least quite good-looking. The male actors have downgraded from Hu Ge and Huo Jianhua to these two individuals whose names I can't even recall. Isn't it obvious whether someone is handsome or not at first glance?
The difference is just too big. Even with heavy filtering, they are still ugly.
I've watched two episodes, and it's true that the production value seems to have some investment behind it. It's slightly better in terms of production compared to "Why Sword 6." However, the storyline feels a bit cliché and outdated.
Moreover, the acting skills of the male and female leads are just average, especially the male lead, which really takes me out of the story. It doesn't quite suit the lively male lead character design.
Not very appealing. Ju Jing Yi is beautiful, but her beauty is on par with Hua Rong's handsome scholar Jia Nan. No distinction, no exaggerated expressions. Chen Zhe Yuan is not good-looking, not as handsome as Xu Kai next door. Chen Zhe Yuan has a good personality and is genuine, but his acting skills need improvement.
The plot of "Xian Jian Si" is weak, and the male lead's character is foolish. The screenwriter is also lacking, it's all messy with no coherence. "Qi Jin Chao" is good-looking and has a complete storyline. The first episode of both dramas is good, but in comparison, "Qi Jin Chao" has better production value and special effects.
Mao Zi Jun is still handsome, and his storyline is worth watching.
The awkward set design and acting with caked-on white makeup are abnormal characteristics. Doesn't the domestic aesthetic know better? Is it a reflection of regressive audience taste or the rampant money laundering by capital behind the scenes?
China doesn't need this kind of juvenile white-faced drama. What we need are authentic and heartfelt historical puppet shows. This is not what a historical puppet show should be like.
- The first three episodes were a bit awkward, but it got better as the story progressed [[1]](https://discussions.viki.com/t/colloquialisms-and-s-question/48049?page=2).
- Chen Zhe Yuan's acting seemed a bit vacant when he played the clueless character, but fortunately, his performance improved as the character grew, and his wit and charm came back.
It turns out playing a clever and mischievous character is his comfort zone [[1]](https://discussions.viki.com/t/colloquialisms-and-s-question/48049?page=2).
- The soul-transference scene in episode nine, where he recognizes the demon, was quite captivating [[1]](https://discussions.viki.com/t/colloquialisms-and-s-question/48049?
