[Mainland Chinese Drama 2023] The Journey of Chong Zi 重紫

[leo2020]

Hi people! 

Recently Tencent posted the first trailer (I wish I can post it here, but seems I'm just too stupid to make it work, rrrrrrr). What should I say...some CGI moments are ...emmm..very disappointing and "fake". At least some of those shown in the trailer. Some, on the contrary,  are very good- finally a new "bright-colored" xianxia world instead of recently popular pale-palatted one. Jeremy Xu and Deng Wei are the main reason I'm waiting for the drama, but obviously they have am amazing cast. The only casting choice I am concerned right now is FL,I have seen her previous work and personally was not impressed (I apologize to her fans, it's just my personal impression). However normally anyone paired with Jeremy looks great and delivers, so I hope it will all work out). Anyone still interested in this drama?

I searched another forum to quench your thirst...

Accordingly, the novel's ending is an open ending and the bonus on the epilogue has a happy ending.

Just saw that this is available on Viu. I’m enjoying this drama. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of the story - typical forbidden shifu and tu di love story. And of course, all the young male characters have been touched by Chong Zi’s kindness and like her, want to protect her, despite her having the ‘sha qi’ (demon streak). A few of the young male actors are familiar faces from the recent Galaxy drama, so it’s nice to see them playing totally different roles here. I especially loved the Da Shu, Chu Bu Fu story arc - beautiful and heart breaking. Da Shu and Wang Yue - so mysterious and charismatic, are my favourite characters so far.

Hi, yep, unfortunately nothing new here. After watching 4 episodes I decided to continue simply bcs I really enjoy many cast members and am very happy to see them in final product. So I just go with the drama flow). P.S. The FL is sooo disappointing ( just for me, I suppose) in terms of acting skills...again. Even her partners can't help here...

Ok, so I started watching because of the male lead.

That's it.
