Douluo Continent (2021)

Awesome show!

This got to be China's most exciting tv drama in 2021. I watched all 11 available episodes and each time an episode ends, I am wanting for more! This is an adaptation of a book of the same name so the story isnt exactly the same ( we should not expect to since the drama is that - adaptation). But boy, the graphics, cinematography, the actors playing each role perfect for each of them, and most of all the acting!, the acting of the leads, and the directing! They're awesome, and on point! The story telling in each episode flows seamlessly onto the next. Perfect 10 for this awesome, exciting drama! Keep it coming, please! Can wait for the next episodes!

Best Fantasy Drama

All previous adaptions of the same fantasy genre have been unsuccessful, either the themes/plots were drastically changed to be unrecognizable from the original novel/anime or the CGIs were poor, and storyline lacked cohesion. For DC, even though there are areas that are different than the anime but the overall main plot and themes remain unchanged. The past life/reincarnation theme is banned in China, hence the storyline was changed and adapted in a smart and cohesive way to make Tang San a more realistic character and emphasis on his growth and development. The struggles and challenges made sense, as well as how trust and friendship are developed. This human side was missing in the anime where Tang San was an almost flawless character. This show is so good that I bought WeTV VIP in order to watch more episodes in advanced but it's still not enough. The show is fun, endearing, and action packed. The CGI, acting, storyline, cinematography, everything far exceeded my expectations. In my opinion, DC could be the best fantasy drama, or even the best drama of the year.

Douluo Continent un drama fasinante

El drama es excelente, tiene muy buenos efectos especiales , los vestuarios comunes pero muy únicas , los actores se ven muy naturales sin tanto maquillaje excesivo
muy buenos actores. me encantan las escenas cómicas me hacen reír mucho
Xiao Zhan interpreta muy bien su personaje de Tan San, es un actor muy talentoso aparte de de ser una estrella bastante atractivo es una persona que transmite mucho amor y energía positiva , Xiao Wu es muy tierna e inocente me encanta su papel y el resto de actores hacen muy bien su trabajo como actores .

Yes, As always, actor Xiao Zhan always delivers high quality works

I been watching this anime since I was teenage, the live action of Tang San plays by Xiao Zhan is on point, he ace it. The acting, the scenery, and omg the EFFECTS!

They must used lots of money on effects on this series because the anime I watch has many MANY magical effects so the production of the drama team done a phenomenal job showing it. The casts was great too.

Tang San and Xiao Wu was so fun to watch, I find myself surprise I didn’t find the female lead to be annoying. She was just so adorable and a positive character. I already know the story because of the anime and just watch because of Xiao Zhan to find the differences of the live action and the anime. I’m not going to spoil it for you. I am finishing up this series, I can already tell that’s a well made fantasy with good graphics and special effects.

Amazing Fantasy

I am really enjoying Douluo Continent without any knowledge of the novel or anime. Welcome to the fantasy world of soul masters, soul powers, soul rings and supernatural creatures. The story also involves adventure, friendship, romance and mystery. The story is humorous with a sunny outlook. The characters are down to earth but endowed with supernatural powers. The talented actor, Xiao Zhan, makes Tang San come alive with his natural acting. In fact, he is the perfect choice for Tang San, perhaps because the author of the novel himself was involved with the casting. The Tang San and father team has excellent chemistry. Tang San is kind, intelligent, courageous, modest and loyal with strong principles. I am curious about these: Does his father have hidden skills besides his trade? Who is his mother? The Master is a courageous character with strong principles. In contrast, Ou Si Ke is a hilarious character with his distracting obsession. The cast is large and excellent. The female characters are independent and capable of defending themselves. We follow Tang San's journey as he gets involved with adventurous team work with his buddies from an unorthodox institution. The way he deals with bullying and other issues is inspirational. The suspense makes me addicted to the series, because I want to know what is going to happen next to Tang San and his companions during his adventure in Soul Land.

The OST suits the story very well. The CGI are impressive, which is unsurprising since a cutting edge special effects expert was hired for this project. The scenery is beautiful and the cinematography is excellent. In summary, it is an impressive production of a fascinating story. In fact, the author of the original novel provided input to this adaptation, and is very happy with the resulting drama. Thanks to Douluo Continent, I can travel vicariously to Soul Land during this stay-at-home February.

IF U HAVE WATCHED THE ORIGINAL (or have taste) YOU WILL HATE IT

I am a fan of the donghua and I started this because of the good ratings .... what the hell is this? the cgi seems cool and i was excited for a moment but the story and characters have NOTHING to do with the original!!! and the acting is cheesy af and super melodramatic??

both ML and FL are terrible actors, how did they pass the audition for this? did they pay the director to hire them? what a disappointment for any true fan of the original material but then again, what else to expect? they never do justice in these adaptations. i still remember the netflix death note utter cringe .....

shouldn't have even watched as much as i did but i was hoping it would get better smh

avoid it unless you're into overrated chinese idols pfft

Cute show about magic academies

I enjoyed this one. I thought the world-building was well done and I liked the theme of a group of young people coming together as a team. I look forward to seeing Wu Xuan Yi in more works--she was adorable as a feisty rabbit in Douluo continent and Xiao Zhan did a good job playing an idealistic young 'lad' who had some growing to do. I also liked the hate-to-love relationship of Dai Mu Bai and Zhu Zhu Qing. The Headmaster was my favorite character--he was so hilarious, especially his obsession over money. Seeing Calvin Chen in his early forties in DLC and then watching him in KO One was a bit of a shock--should have done those in reverse order (though I'd really only watched KO One for Jiro Wang).
There was some illogic and inconsistency as there is in all dramas (for example, why was there no audience during the final competition--wasn't it kinda of a big deal!?). The evil characters' motives sometimes seemed a bit fuzzy. I also felt bad for all the animals they were always killing off--though that was kind of the theme and leads' goal was to minimize the need for that type of killing.
I'm looking forward to Season 2 (hopefully there is one, given the ending). I would recommend it to those looking for a Xuanhuan version of Harry Potter & the like. :D
PS. The music was bizarre. I read here on MDL that it was due to copyright issues so they had to use different music than what the original played in China. However, they should have picked something other than 1970's porn music (not that I know from personal experience, but that's what I imagine it would sound like. ;P)
