I love Tang San Xiao Xhan

I really like the story it's addicting, I am hoping that there is a Season 2 of this series the season 1 is not enough for me. I even subscribe to a VIP on We TV for this. Another storyline like Princess Agent and Legend of Fie is not nice unlike this, this better. I notice all series of Xiao Xhan has a good storyline same in The Untamed. I hope soon Wang Yibo and Xiao Xhan will make a new series together.
Kapagod na mag isip kung ano pa and sasabihin ko sa series na ito basta ito maganda and series na to kahit na sinsabi sa akin ng iba na corny daw. wala akong paki kasi gwapo talaga si Tang San.
Ay naku naiinis talaga ako sa Sinabi ni Dogie kay Chix nakakainis hay naku.
Kaylan kaya sila gagawa ng Doulou Contenent Season 2 super excited na talaga ako hehehe

Interesting Fantasy Drama

I will start by saying I ma not familiar with the source material or previous versions, so what I am reviewing is this show.

I really enjoyed the show, it could be confusing in parts and I lost track a few times especially towards the end with who was actually the worst of the bad.

What I really enjoyed were the main group fo characters and the way they were developed and interacted with each other. The "Seven Devils" actually seemed like good friends. Everyone has a unique story and they were all likable. The FL was a little on the silly side, but I think that was more because of the squeaky voice over than the actual character or acting. I felt the actress was fine, and she was more than adequate in the more emotional scenes. As for the male lead, the show only showed the initial growth of the character, and Xiao Zhan did a great job with the character and showing his growth. There were some concerns I had earlier but once the show went on, you could see he understood the character. I know a lot of reviews say his active was better in The Untamed and Wei Wuxian, but that is not a far comparison since the characters are very different.
I also enjoyed the 3 teachers and how they interacted with each other and the Seven.

As for the story, overall I felt it was a good story and the pace was good. There were very few slow spots that made me want to reach for the remote. My only complaint, which is not much of one, is that there were a lot of characters outside of the main group and I would forget their names and who they were in the story. That made some parts confusing, but I sometimes have this problem with the shows and have to pause and read some character information.

The production was one of the better ones I have seen in a chances drama, I liked that there was a let less "green screen" environments and more normal locations and the special effects were the best i have seen in a tv drama. Another plus was the soundtrack. The original songs were all good, and the music throughout was interesting and had a more fantasy feel to it.

I cannot say the show is close to the source material or that it did it justice, and I cannot say that Xiao Zhan's acting as Tang San is as impressive as his acting as Wei Wuxian. What I can say is that show kept me interested and that I truly enjoyed the show,

as someone whose a huge fan of the novel series

I actually saw this drama first a year ago maybe
..
I don't even remember how I came across this story... I was just looking to watch something to kill my Time so I ended up watch the anime version of this and later the whole novel series upto the 3rd book and a few chapters here and there of 4th and 5th book ...
So as a huge fun I definitely had quite a few expectations from this but was sadly disappointed not much tho I did watch the whole thing from start till finish but definitely won't re-watch since it's so long ...
the anime had a lot of details and beautiful setting .. it makes sense the show was not able to match that level as it would require huge amount of money probably... so I was initially ok with that but as a fan I definitely expected some set to match with the animated version but unfortunately it did not and then we have the changed storyline...like his background..his past life .. I definitely would have loved if they kept it but instead it was some idk magic book types which gave him knowledge on his mechanical weapons..
the casting was not bad and this was definitely the show that made me a fan of the ml xiao zhan ..
Ig the overall acting could have been better maybe?
in the novel as well as anime the fl was sure a little childish but that's because she was a child they were probably hardly 14 .. but the actors are definitely older than the characters they r supposed to portray

okayish just has no wow factor

firstly, i have to say that i didnt read the original chinese book or the manhua, so this is my first time watching this kind of stuff.

secondly, the plot:
honestly, i have to say that this drama is perfect for younger audiences,like 8-16 yo (not that i am old lol, i rewatched his for the third time already)
the plot is really straightforward and predictable, although there are some things that are quite interesting, such as the plot of xiao wu's poison. there are a lot of dialogue in this drama, and i have to skip some of the dialogues to continue. what i really look forward to in this drama are the fighting scenes and the characters. i absolutely loved the academy's friendship and the humor together, espcially the scenes with ou si ke and ma hong jun. them acting on stage to earn money in ep 26 was really funny and amusing, including there fight with xue beng.lol

acting/cast:]
it is my first time seeing all of the actors other than xiao zhan(the untamed) and i have to say, the director really picked the right actors for the roles, and i cant imagine anyone else acting the role. the acting are on pare except for some scenes ( crying scenes where i cant feel sad because they arnt acting like they are sad,lol)

character:
i love all the characters with all my heart, however, my fav have to be ou si ke, ma hong jun, dai mu bai and finally zhu zhu qing. loved the team dynamic and they all had some sort of character development (dai mu bai being proud and arrogant to being a gd grp leader) i also really love the teachers and the other characters, like both of shi lan ke's teachers, and du dou luo, with his honest and blunt replies. i honestly think that all the characters had equal screen time and it is really enjoyable
i really liked xiao wu at first, thinking that she is naive and really cute, and really liked to fight, at aorung ep 30, i started disliking her, she wanted to heal the rivarly between the beast and the hun shi, yes, and she loves tang san to a point it is annoying and make her seem weak af. she kept saying,' where tang san is, where i am' literally every fucking time and im so annoying. like pls STOP. and tang san,OMG, i dont really dislike him, but the problem with him is that he is to perfect, he is too kind, honest, righteous, and it makes his character flat af. and whenever, he is talkign to his elders about 'if its my father i dont know what to do''you cant do this' blah blah blah. like boy, i dont want to hear your pep talk.

* main disapponitment... the fighting scenes are too simple, althoght the cgi and the concept of the dou luo continese of the soul rings and soul beasts are cool, i feel like in that competition, they defeated the competitiors too easily, like it ends so fast.

the music also are limited and starets playing at the compeltly worng time lol.

Suitable for all audiences, everyone in my family loved it!

I am writing this as I listen to my younger siblings bicker about how Tang San could easily defeat all of the powerful good guys if he turns evil. This drama as what my title says, is very well-written because it caters to all audiences. Everyone loves it, especially the kids. They can't help but draw some similarities with Tang San, and even demands that the second season as soon as it was over. Today, we are at our third re-watch. And it's not annoying at all, it helps with their Chinese too. The visual effects of this drama is so good and the colors are so vivid that on Ultra HD TV it's so mesmerizing. Perhaps that's one of the reason why kids are so drawn to it. Better by leaps compared to the CGI produced on the current dramas lately.

As for the actors, I am well impressed. I have watched The Untamed before and know that Xiao Zhan is a very good actor. In this drama, he has shown youthfulness and a hint of stubbornness and passion. He has brought Tang San to life. And also, how is he so handsome? I am just in awe of how he looks so good on the screen. As for Betty Wu, this is the first I've heard of her. She's cute. Sometimes I find her acting a bit exaggerated, but it's very effective too since her character is a bit childish. The rest of the cast are very good and natural. I really like Ousike and Zhu Zhuqing.

For the storyline, it's very easy to follow but not predictable. Which makes it so good to watch. Every episode keeps you hanging and you will always anticipate the next one. Every episode is eventful and entertaining, you will never get bored at all. I really like the pacing. And I love how there is so many ambiguities in the drama, you wont know whether a person is truly evil or not. In that aspect, it reflects the gray area within all of us. I like that. It sets an example to the children to not cast a character as purely evil, but will show some redeemable qualities.

It deserves all the hype. Go watch it and share with your family...

Binge watched, this is such an entertaining drama.

I enjoyed it as a light watch, binge watched it in two days, it’s not a very complicated story, the acting was top notch! and the visual effects are so good! for a cdrama I was surprised as my issue with fantasy cdramas is always the visual effects ! I don’t know the original work so I am not going to compare, but I loved the world building and the different kinds of soul masters especially the douluo soul masters (those will appear in later episodes) very interesting, i will probably read the original novel next I loved tang san so much he was so gentle, kind, brave and loyal.
The relationship between tang san and his master is my favorite relationship. And as supporting characters I loved osk and rongrong.

Could be better!

The story is literally so interesting, really my cuppa tea drama. Things about Soul Beasts and Soul Masters are awesome and it will be fancy to be discussed. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it's not well-executed, especially the plot until it felt boring. Some parts feel so flat, even for the fight scene, there's no tension. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like some things weren't put in the right place.
However, the friendship that grows between them is really good. It's just so heartwarming to see. Also, a big thumbs up for the characters' development of those side characters. I don't know why it's always the side characters who got great development instead of the main character in cdrama lol. Both Tang San and Wu are doing well from the start tho.
Yet, the drama is still worth watching and I really wish for a sequel, because the ending can't even be accepted as an open ending. ㅠㅠ

Youth inspiration drama

When the domineering Tang San returns, no matter how difficult life is, it's better than a young man raising his eyes. The tenacious young man set off again and saw the bright sunshine in Douluo Continent again.
"I won't take the path you choose. Then find your own way!"
"Strength should not be cold-blooded. Those who only attack the weak are cowards. The strong should be born to protect the weak."
Douluo is not a romance or love story but for a group of young people who didn’t give up any obstacles when you move forward. Also it shows the relationship between Mentor and his followers/students, mutual trust and strength of unity. Kind of motivation drama.Some lines are so powerful and should keep in notes for our life. Background music is sometimes weird but all round is still fine. OST by Protagonist Xiao Zhan is the best in this drama, Douluo Continents.
A star male protagonist, Tang San's charm is irresistible
Twin Martial Soul Geniuses Appear, Blue Silver Haotian Changes the Sky, the genius boy is full of soul power.

This is such an endearing story about a group of misfits coming together and working towards a common goal, that is to become Spirit Masters. Although the intentions of each started somewhat differently when they joined Shrek Academy, they eventually bonded after journeying through different lands. Tang San was there to hone his skills; Zhu Zhu Qing was there to confront her arranged marriage partner; Dai Mu Bai was there to train in hopes to defeat his brother; Ning Rong Rong was there at the insistence of her father; Ou Si Ke was there to experience life to add to his stories; Ma Hong Jun was there because he had nowhere to go; Xiao Wu was there just to follow Tang San.

There was no character that really stood out for me as they each had their own strengths and weaknesses, but I have to admit that Xiao Wu became annoying after causing Tang San so much trouble because of her insistence to tag along wherever he goes. I was cringing every time she flutters her eyelashes at the oblivious Tang San. Surprisingly, I liked Lan De and Xiao Gang as the Founder and Grandmaster of Shrek Academy, how their teachings greatly influenced the "Seven Devils" in their quest for knowledge. Doulou Continent is not just a fantasy drama about spirit cultivation, but about found family and lasting friendships.
