Storyline

The story revolves around the universe of Five kingdoms mainly Taiyuan, Tianquan, Tiansha, Xuanji and Ancient Firmament.

Fuyao (Yang Mi) is a slave in Tianyuan Sect under Taiyuan kingdom. Here, she meets Zhangsun Wuji (Ethan Juan), Tianquan's Crown Prince under the disguise of Xuanyuan Min, heir apparent of Taiyuan. 

He has another identity as Ancient Firmament Tian Ji's (Liu Sha) disciple. Wuji is tasked by his teacher in search of five-coloured stone girl. The girl is said to bring chaos to the Five Continents. 

When Wuji finds out that Fuyao is the said girl, he tries his best to help her change her destiny. Together, they travel around the five kingdoms looking for magical artifacts to lift her curse.

My View

LOF has a little draggy ending. The part where Fuyao is fighting for her life due to the curse is just too tiring to watch.

Apart from that, the rest of the show is quite entertaining. I love the adventures in every kingdom.

Chinese Drama : Douluo Continent 斗罗大陆

Year Released

2021

Genre

Action, Adventure, Fantasy

No. of Episodes 

40 - running time of 45 minutes per episode

Starring

Xiao Zhan, Wu Xuanyi

Storyline

This drama is about humans who become soul masters with martial souls when they killed soul beasts. Soul masters attain soul rings of different levels and skills depending on the ages of soul beasts.

There are many ranks ranging from soul master of one soul ring to Titled Douluo of nine soul rings. Soul beasts of 100,000 years old could take the form of a human.

Tang San (Xiao Zhan) has dual martial souls inherited by his father, a Titled Douluo and his mother a soul beast turned human. The former skill is Sky Hammer and latter, Lan Yin Grass.

Tang San grows up together with Xiao Wu (Wu Xuanyi), whose martial soul is a rabbit. She is actually a 100,000 years old soul beast who turned into human form.

The two join Shi Lan Ke, a school who trains soul masters. Together with the rest of the students, all of them work as a team. Shi Lan Ke Seven Weirdos (team name) managed to win a soul masters fighting match organised by Martial Soul Hall.

My View

Douluo Continent is based on a novel written by Tang Jia Shan Shao. The animated version is still on-going. Please do not expect the drama to be exactly the same as it is just forty episodes.

I'm kind of sad as good drama like DLC has these few episodes while some other crappy dramas have about 60 episodes. *rolled eyes*

Can't hardly wait for second season to be out!
