I haven’t really up date my Drama list for there past month. Since I had focus to work and also doing little bit translation, I have almost missed out Hua Qian Gu and now, I am marathon, watching this drama.
Well, I have known the novel long time before the drama air, if I am not mistaken it has been big buzz since two years ago. Many netizens talking about Fresh Fruit (fresh guo guo) book. Hua Qian Gu is kind of novel which I mostly would avoid because the twist and also the sorrow of the leads. For me, Hua Qian Gu is heavy novel moreover it is Xian Xia / Wu Xia genre which harder to read for non-chinese speaker like me.
for those who had read it say, the story has happy ending but some say it won’t. Well, at least it isn’t open ending. because I don’t really like an open ending story. I was doubt to start the novel so I decided to start from the drama which capture my heart by it’s beautiful posters and trailers.
so far I do really enjoy the drama so much perhaps because I like the casts. I have read many comment, said the drama and the novel is little bit different. perhaps, I will start to read the novel for better understanding.
My favorite character is not Bai Zi Hua instead I like Sha Qian Mo played by Ma Ke and Hua Qian Gu played by Zhao Li Ying. To one surprised, I dislike Bai Zi Hua character most after Xia Zi Xun, that fairy who falls deeply for Zi Hua.
I always like the scenes every times there is Qian Gu and Sha Jie Jie AKA Sha Qian Mo. They are too cute and sweet together.
So, what is your favorite character in Hua Qian Gu?

Me, too, on Sha Qian Mo. Both the novel and the drama needed to spend more time on how characters become evil. His character doesn’t seem evil enough to play his role in the underworld.
I am on the sha qian mo ship too
How do the Chinese define evil?? Sha Qian Mo was the best character in this drama, he deserved a different ending!
I don’t know how the Chinese define evil. But for me, evil is something more related to action of wrong-doing instead of ghost or other astral ‘living’.
Honestly, I didn’t satisfy with the ending. Even when they made the short series as sequel.
Well, what would wrong-doing be for you then? What’s good/right for some beings is bad/wrong for others, there’s no fixed definition & no absolute! The way I see it the Chinese understood this a long time ago… I was very disappointed by the ending they’ve chosen for the series & the short sequel they made afterwards didn’t seem very good. For once they could’ve tried something different, like ascending him to some higher-order being, he deserved it!
