I love Xiao Zhan in Doulou Continent, but I’d be the first to say that DC was not a well made drama. I enjoyed watching him in it, and he was the reason I stuck to the drama until the end, but plot wise the drama was crap, too much dialogue with the Oscar and Princess character scenes which should have been edited out to give way for more meatier fare, and what’s with the head scratching ending? It’s no surprise Love and Redemption is getting much love with its rerun – that was an extremely well made drama. Kudos to all involved in making it.

HAHAHA! Douluo is boring but I was able to get through to the middle. Your comparison is only with Love and Redemption? LOL I couldn’t even get through the first few episodes, I even tried starting from middle and middle to end, nope it’s boring as hell. But Legend of Fei is even more boring, surprised Zanilia and Wang Yibo are still trending and don’t say it’s because of dummy Legend of Fei.

I watched it because of Xiao Zhan.
I love Xiao Zhan’s acting & the fighting in this drama. Some parts are funny. You can tell they had a small budget for the drama. Their costumes were so limited. The ending ended too fast.

Omg Legend of Fei is still even more boring and over, why are the actors still trending and not replace with actors from your drama Word of Honor? If you care that much about Word of Honor, where is the honor for the actors who are airing?

I’m a Soul Land donghua fan who eagerly waits for a new episode every week and I’m really enjoying Douluo Continent. It is a low budget drama with terrible dubbing and odd BGM in some scenes, but the story is an interesting spin on the novel due to censorship issues. Tang San’s journey to become more powerful, growth and the important people in his life are all in the drama. The CGI is decent given it is a live action (and can never compare to the animation) and low budget drama. I’m a fan of the scriptwriter and his humour shines through as it did with Joy of Life and Young Blood. All 7 students and the 3 teachers at the Shrek Academy are awesome and so funny in their own way. Oscar’s meta jokes crack me up every time. I’m going to miss these characters when the drama is over.

We loved the Love and Redemption hope for a Season 2 or another drama for the both main lead actor and actress.
