Douluo Continent

I have seen now more than half of the episodes of this series, and I have enjoyed it a lot! It's good story with both emotional and funny moments and a very likable group of characters, and at the end of every episode you look forward to starting the next episode.

The show has a natural and realistic look, including sets and costumes, and for the low budget that they had they made it work. It's a good visible seperation also to the animated series and helps to establish it as it's own work with its own strengths. Nevertheless is the CGI great, the camera work is also well done, and both support the action scenes and make them fun to watch! The music is beautiful and supports the atmosphere of each scene successfully.

The story itself is well paced and the episodes develop the plot smoothly. Exposition moments to explain the world are usually well placed and kept as few as possible. The characters are very endearing and convincing, and fortuantely all get some time for development. Xiao Zhan is doing a great job in portraying Tang San as good hearted young man, who is supportive and caring, yet firece when it comes to protecting his loved ones. I like Wu Xuanyi as Xiao Wu as well, she is funny and adorable.

I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series!

This TV series is based on a book, but it's a modified version with added elements about the growing pain, success and exciting fighting to gain more skills/powers of a group of youth especially "Tang San" . There are splendid scenes with special effects. On top of that, Xiao Zhan, who is acting as Tang San, did an excellent job in portraiting Tang San since he's still a teenager. From the a bit of unconfident boy till he went through so much with friends, teachers, loved one together, finally became the most power one, Xiao Zhan showed step by step how Tang San grew up. Besides the fighting, the pain, the affection, the investigation game, this TV series is quite funny from time to time. Overall speaking this is an excellent TV series worth watching. Hope you will enjoy it too.

I already read novel and watched it's animation till ep 130. Drama has little different plot than actual novel but it's more interesting...and still holding original novel plot's facts and substance. Characters are also good and amazingly portrait so far especially TangSan, his father, Master Gang, Headmaster. Oscar character is more interesting than novel. Plot pace is picked up in latest episodes. Fighting scenes and unfolding of story is amazingly done. Overall CGI is top notch. Uptill episode 11, all Cast acting is also good. Exact Copy and paste of novel in Drama make drama draggy and boring..but this is not the case here. Because of some changes in drama plot, story is really intriguing and attractive. Plot and character's building in drama is really perfect. One can feel more attachment with TangSan and his father relationship than novel and animation. Drama actually covered that missing emotional feeling between father-son duo. Xiao Zhan, calvin Chen, Qiu Xin Zhi, Kenny Chung, Gai Tai Yu, Liu Mei Tong are doing amazing acting. I even like artist playing Xiao Wu character. Looking forward to new characters too..San Pao is cute pig-dog. I recommend to watch it.. because as things are unveiling one after another in the plot, it excites you about what will happen next. As I already know the actual plot of the novel..I was not expecting much attraction towards drama....but Drama plot is more exciting and intriguing and it wants me to watch more. Overall drama worth watching!! Watched till Episode 29- Story is really going very good. Many things are unfolding and many things are becoming more secretive. I like how headmaster and master built a team spirit within 7 students. 7 different people with diff thinking, diff agendas in life are difficult to become a team..but both teacher push them to find their own weaknesses and become one team. New characters are introducing one after another..and they all are making their own place in drama n able attract attention towards themselves. Emotional scene are very well done..as expected from Xiao Zhan..he nails such scenes. Story becoming more interesting n secretive. Enjoying it alot. Its giving fresh experience then novel and anime but still keeping novel actual plot as base! This is drama's USP!

So I was a donghua fan of DC so when this drama was announced I was expected. First 3-4 episodes will feel like a bit slow for ppl already familiar with the story but this is necessary to introduce the story to ppl who still dont know the background. It starts picking up from ep 6 and let me tell you,I am floored by the special effects. It is worth to watch in HD,a visual treat. Im familiar with Xiao Zhan through the Untamed and soo far he's done an amazing job with tang san as well. For ppl who are into the mystery fantasy genre,10/10 would recommend . Go for it.

I'm a fan of the novel and I find this adaptation a perfect complement to it. The drama both follows the original story and introduces some changes when it has to which in my opinion works very well. I really like the vision of Douluo Continent and its specific style. It's not the usual, bombastic and colorful wuxia drama, it's more a down-to-earth story about people with special powers yet with the regular human feelings and motivations. This adaptation has very good casting. Xiao Zhan as Tang Sang, Kenny Bee as his father and Calvin Chen as the Master are the perfect matches for these roles. Special effects are the icing on the cake. It all creates a very gripping drama with beautiful landscapes, amazing special effects, interesting story and fantastic actors. No wonder the author of Douluo Continent novel was himself very satisfied with this adaptation.
