Additionally, Xu Kai and Bai Lu had excellent chemistry together, which felt both sweet and passionate. On the upside, this show had more kiss scenes than your average Wuxia (5+), a few of which were quite prolonged/invested, and the director didn't shy away from building sexual tension (unlike many "pure love" wuxias). Recommended! ROMANCE RATING: * * * 8.5/10. In summary, if you enjoy the wuxia genre, like some philosophy with your entertainment, and go for character-driven stories with plenty of justice and a happy (if scattered) ending for the main couple, this one is worth watching. Also, JinXian's story was carried to a rather ridiculous extreme, but Xia Tian did a good job committing to the character. And while Xu Kai's performance was quite good overall, it turned a tad wobbly in many of the "extreme emotional distress" scenes (though I did feel he had the capacity, if the director had helped draw it out). Ive never seen this before and I didnt know if the community was aware.
#The legends chinese drama series series#
There were some obvious plot holes /confusing storytelling which began around the "becoming a demon" arc. Its a 3D animated series featuring League characters but in an alternate universe. Hundreds of Chinese dramas are released every year both online and through television broadcasting. There were minor technical issues with some of the CGI scenes and musical scores, and the repetitive, low-tech CGI scenes of MoQing and the dragon got old. That being said, the show did have its' flaws too. Unlike the standard wuxia female voices which usually smack of contrived cutesyness or faux refinement, Bai Lu (and the female cast in general) delivered voice overs that were raw, strong and totally genuine (on a side note damn, can that girl cry! I would give any film a chance if she's in it). The characters were also strong with plenty of development, and were delivered by an excellent cast (it didn't hurt that the leads were so incredibly gorgeous and rocked their styling, either)! Also, since C-films are extensively dubbed, I have to give separate credit to the voice acting. However, it still drew me in, thanks to the story's more philosophical approach, revolving around questions of prejudice, justice, and the nature of good/evil.
