Wang Lu: Why are you doing this? It’s rigged.
Wang Wu: That’s exactly why I'm doing it!

Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain | 从前有座灵剑山 E05
Did this Chinese fantasy period drama just make a Naruto joke?
Is this how I learn that "sharingan" is a Japanese pronunciation of the Chineses words 写轮眼 "write-wheel-eye"?

Anon I will respond soon. In the meantime, I looked up The Lotus Casebook and 1. I’m delighted to say it was a drama I’ve been waiting for already, its got cheng yi and joseph zeng as leads so yay dmbj bros in a show together!
2. i’m shocked by the number of “wow i hope its not bl/censored bl/bromance, i’m so sick of those” comments on mydramalist on it’s page. First of all because like, what has gay stuff ever done to them (especially in cdrama’s case where bromance still means there can be a straight romance, and even if you absolutely hated queer stories at best any gay romance would be censored and therefore not as ‘bothering’ to you). 
Secondly because it reeks of people being pro-what-china’s-been-getting-rid of and i’m not particularly happy to see anyone celebrating “getting rid of” the kinds of works made by authors i support. i didn’t expect or need The Lotus Casebook to be bl or bromance-y at all, but with all those comments now I hope it IS at least to the extent of stuff like Checkmate or MRIAD because i’m annoyed to see people celebrating seeing less open-to-optional-queer-reading stuff. Not even gay stuff, just not totally anti gay stuff... not loving people hoping for full on “destroy any gay possible interpretation” kind of things -.- (In contrast to say Secret of the Three Kingdoms which is made and intended to be straight romances, is PHENOMENAL in its straight romance writing, and still is queer positive in that it mentions men can like men in a lighthearted way in the script as one off stuff, or Eternal Love which likewise left open the implication people could be bi or gay even as its main relationships are all straight - and in my opinion, as a queer person, its fucking nice to see Any shows that attempt to be open minded in such a way when they didn’t have to be). 
3. Not about The Lotus Casebook, but related to potential censored bl coming out of china: despite the crackdown last year post Word of Honor, I know Joseph Zeng was in the middle of shooting a bl book to drama adaptation in late 2021 - I can’t find the drama on mydramalist now, but it was there in 2021. So there were bls in production/shooting in china post ban, i am assuming the companies are operating under the belief they’ll be able to air eventually and make money. Meanwhile my boy Chen Xingxu (from Goodbye My Princess) finished shooting spring 2022 of an adaptation of a bl priest novel (Guardians of the Lands). Since it was shooting THIS year, and likely getting finished up now (or already finished and just waiting to be allowed to air - like 2ha and Sha Po Lang right now), again I’m assuming despite everything... companies assume they’ll still eventually get to air their shows and make money. So again I guess to hammer myself home: really annoyed to see anti-bl comments on mydramalist, when so much stuff is NOT queer its easy as fuck to simply avoid it. Meanwhile, the most that can even occur in a cdrama is a possibly close friendship, so people getting “worried a cdrama will be bl and therefore ‘unwatchable’” is so fucking stupid to me.
4. An actual genuine concern? Will the female characters be written well. But I’ve seen tons of straight romances for which female characters are written awful, and tons of bl where female characters are written well. So the only way for good writing is... good writing. And that’s ultimately going to depend on the individual show’s writers, not on if something’s bl or not.

#44: Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain
Tumblr media
I started watching it and then dropped it once, many moons ago. But this time when I tried it, it gripped me so fast I couldn't believe it. Hm, I guess you really need to be in the right mood for this one.
And, holy smokes, was I in the right mood this time. I admit, there're several dull moments around the middle but overall? It's ah-mazing! Especially the relationship between Wang Lu and Hai Yunfan. And I say a relationship and not a friendship for a good reason. Because if them two were just best friends, I will eat my hat. Because Wang Lu and Hai Yunfan went through a good half of your usual het romance tropes together, incl. falling down onto each other, taking a bath together, fake betrayals...
And then their last scene together, when Hai Yunfan decided to leave because, paraphrasing here, "You go through cultivation out of love, to save people. I do it out of hate, to get revenge. If I stay with you, I know it will make me vulnerable and weak and it will change me and that's why I need to go. But one day, when I do get my revenge, I will come back and find you." And then - the most epic of all hugs and Wang Lu remembering all their adventures together, crying.
Wow . I mean, the main het romance here felt like an afterthought, I mean Wang Lu didn't go all out with Wang Wu till Hai Yunfan left him. And though I had no doubt that Wang Lu and Wang Wu liked each other a lot, Wang Wu's heart still belonged to Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu couldn't get Hai Yunfan out of his head. The fact that their fighting styles - Wang Wu & Ouyang Shang's and Wang Lu & Hai Yunfan's - mirrored each other was, well, pretty telling.
But then the twist with the Sky Demon King at the end! And no season 2... Pah, humbug :(
Rating: 8.5/10
