So i just finished the novel and its soo damnn good but im unsure if I should watch the Chinese drama or the anime version of this because as ive heard some major scenes are different so how are they
I suggest you watch the drama. It's reallllly well done. But the thing is you have to watch with the mindset that it is a different story. Just pretend it's not really an adaptation but a totally different story then we are good to go...I actually really love CQL and think it's one of the best Cdramas ever made seriously
Hmmm thank you
I really love the drama! the cast is really good, the plot is well-done and the music is stunning...
This is a really good advice: i was getting really mad at the drama for not being faithful to the original material, but I know changes have to be done in different medias (also, it becomes more. I'm glad to know the drama is just as good and I'll keep watching it.
*more original)
(Pressed the post it button too soon, oops.
Try the audio drama next, I think it's the most accurate to the novel and has so much dept for something with just sounds. Manhua and the drama are my least favourite adaptations. If the manhua had HOB artstyle, I might have put it next to audio drama. Drama did some parts of the novel on godlevel, some were a big meh like the beginning of it. It is loosely based but I can't lie that I liked what they served us. But we should be happy they didn't went with WWX/WQ like they planned!
Also, Donghua season 1 is amazing, it has the kind of atmosphere I got while reading the novel, just not too extreme due to censorships. Season 2.....well it happened. I ranked this my third favourite after the audio drama.
Yeaa like i just have heard good reviews about the drama but i was unsure
Hmm i agree with you about the manhua artstyle but they showed us a WWX and LZH kiss so im happy
And like the drama im still not sure about it like maybe people have overhyped it and it annoys me to no end that the romace is more like a bromance
But thank you for your opinion
Anndd waiiit they wanted to make WWX with WQ what the hell glad that didn’t happen
It's one of the reasons why Wen Qing had so much screen time. The author and fans made a big fuss over the news and the drama directors scrapped the idea. I also really hate the drama WQ, annoys me to hell and back. Novel WQ was like the fierce caring big sister everyone needs. Its stuff like this that I couldn't finish the drama
I like the anime version more it's more faithful to the plot but the romance is dialed waaaaay down. Plus everyone looks extra cool in it lol. The drama was good but it's like the other comment said it's pretty different still decent but they change a lot around
WQ in the novel was a perfect character like i hoped that the drama or the anime version would fix some things like for example wwx and his brother fixing their relationship in the end and not leave it like unresolved like they did in the novel and i hoped that WQ would survive somehow
One of the reasons i am thinking of watching the anime version is because every single character looks amazing but the fact they the romance is so censored pisses me off
Give the anime a shot it's only 23 episodes

The live action is pretty good imo I'm watching it again rn lol but they mix up the plot a lot and tbh I was surprised actually I mean I can see the romance hella clearly lol its very low key but those expressions and longing stares make it super obvious lol I'm enjoying the shit out it. Its 50 episodes on netflix
Novel>audio drama>manhwa>anime>live action tbh I love them all... ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Ooh! Nice! I've never listened to audio dramas before, but I really want to give this a try! Do you recommend any site for me to listen to it?
And ohmygod, WWX/WQ?? What were those producers thinking?? (⊙…⊙ )
Lol, to be quite honest the bromance thing didn't annoy me as much so far in the drama because they still made them preeeeetty gay (at least as much as they could while still being able to say "they're just VERY good friends :>"). I mean every time someone mentions marriage to WWX he just looks hella uncomfortable, like "sis, not gonna happen". xD
It was like watching those queerbaiting tv shows (*coughcough*sherlock/supernatural/supergirl*coughcough*), but actually /knowing/ these characters are meant to be together and you're not crazy for once.
Tbh only other audio dramas I've listened were smut ones XD But MDZS one is truly an art and the songs are fantastic.
In the link bellow, it'll take you to a tumblr but some extras aren't available and need a Discord account. Use the mp4 links. Other two seasons are also on the same blog.

They were thinking straight apparently. They managed to ruin my favourite female character so yay!
So I got the audio drama from suibian subs. You gotta get on their discord and jump through a few hoops to download all 3 seasons but its sooooooo worth it

And like srsly rofl I just rewatched the drama and its totally obvious they're into each other XD I mean its scaled way back but like those lingering looks, soft eyed stares, complete preoccupation with each other. I mean srsly?! Bromance my ass lol I love untamed, not my fav version but still wonderful all the same.
I like how the comic follows closely the original plot (at least until the chapter i read), but sometimes it feels like reading an abridged version rather than an adaptation... I can't stress how good the novel is, its atmosphere sometimes is downright chilling and I actually am disappointed at how non-scary everything is in the adaptations lol
I'll keep on reading because I feel quite lost after having finished the book, and it's a good companion to keep while watching the dorama (which has been disappointing to me for its decisions regarding the plot（/TДT)/ )
