莲花楼 Mysterious Lotus Casebook random thoughts
I'm almost at the end (ep36) but wanna pen down some of my thoughts first.
It's been years since I read the novel and while I enjoyed it/the characters a lot it wasn't a novel I obsessed over so when the drama dropped I only have a hazy memory of the storyline. It has allowed me to enjoy the drama on its own without my mind constantly comparing it to the novel (like Cheng Feng Du ... but that drama didn't do that great with the adaptation ultimately). I did have a deep impression of the main character Li Lian Hua (Li Xiang Yi) and initially when it was announced that Cheng Yi was going to play LLH I was rather skeptical. I know Cheng Yi from his popular xianxia dramas (didn't watch cos it wasn't my cup of tea) and I couldn't envision him in wuxia much less as LXY, but I was glad to be proven wrong!
He brought to life the highs of Li Xiang Yi's life standing at the peak of jianghu, and the valleys that he travelled in as Li Lian Hua.
