The Lotus Casebook (2023)

If you like Mysterious Lotus Casebook, you might like Shui Long Yin.

Both dramas are adaptations from works written by the same author, Teng PIng.

Both are wuxia (martial arts) adventure dramas featuring strong male leads with ambiguous morals and motivations.

Both have character configurations and themes that highlight martial arts prowess, honor/ chivalry, as well as teamwork, friendships, and brotherhood.

Both somewhat belong to the mystery / detective genre, although these elements may not present as the core of the story or plot.

Though far less case solving in Go East, both have a similar vibe. The main villain's identity in both stories is a mystery until very late in the story.

Unlikely friends solve mysteries together. There's bromance (MLC wins this one), interesting stories, hidden tribes and sorcery, the works. Good atmosphere, personal plot linking the MLs, good support cast in both cases.

Same main two leads of both dramas
Same friendship between them
Both dramas are wuxia drama
Both dramas are unique because Cheng Yi is the main lead of them

Both contain case-solving, humor, and heartfelt moments, and a grand arc that spans the entire season.

BoT is a modern, supernatural investigative procedural that pushes along the main character arc at a brisk pace. It matches the quality and style of some of the best Hollywood procedural shows in mixing side-splitting absurdist humor, astute social commentary, and heartfelt moments. The show replaces bromance with a more team camaraderie and realistic romance between ML and FL. The engaging and consequential cases and grand story arc culminates in an exciting finale.

The biggest issue is the poor subtitle quality limits the accessibility as much of the hilarity and context of the show may be bungled by subpar translation. Though fluent Chinese speakers will likely enjoy this quirky hidden gem.

Both are solving cases with the same purpose of finding the villain. This is a good drama for those who want less romance but more in-depth solving cases!

Introdução

É próspero

A história conta principalmente a vida lendária de uma geração de rainhas. O jogo usa efeitos especiais legais de cortina de contas para iniciar a história. O enredo usa técnicas de flashback para revisar experiências de vida da perspectiva da Rainha Wu Zetian. A partir do momento em que entraram no palácio, Wu Zetian e Wei Guifei lutaram entre si e tornaram-se amigos da inocente Princesa Gaoyang, mas na verdade foi apenas um passo na estratégia, tantos anos depois Wu Zetian nunca teria emoções indescritíveis quando relembrando esse evento passado. O enredo da luta no palácio está interligado, mostrando a inteligência e a coragem de Wu Zetian. Os efeitos especiais do jogo, o BGM e o enredo estão intimamente ligados. Mesmo se você escolher a opção errada, haverá uma história para explicar, tornando todo o enredo menos apressado. É um filme raro excelente trabalho
