I watched the first episodes. It is promising so far! Like the CGI quality, not too intense. Elvis Han is actually a good lead although I still miss Hu Ge. Like how the backstory was short and we got to meet the leads real fast too!

Elvis is on my up and coming list of favs. And Im going to watch it tonight and Im glad the backstory is short, hopefully the story will keep progressing. And Its going to be weird without Hu Ge (are you going to makr a Hu Ge appreciation post) 👏👏

I actually didn’t care much about him before, but he is growing in me too. He has exactly what it takes to hit big soon enough! I could make a Hu Ge appreciation post soon :3 But I feel like we covered everything about him so far… maybe a new bromance post for him? humm

Hmmm. I watched the first episode…and it’s quite messy compared to the previous Chinese Paladin’s, in terms of introduction and set up. The CGI is horrible and bothered me a lot…not even decent in Xianxia dramas standards.

I don’t remember the beginning of the previous two to compare that part. Guli Nezha is super pretty, but her acting is still a bit annoying. As a xianxia drama, I think it is in the average, nothing less, nothing more! Definitely better than Xuan Yuan Sword and Qin’s Moon for me :3

Out of curiousity, how does Chinese Paladin 5 relates to Chinese Paladin 1 and 3. I am confused on how they are all related and which comes first despite the title names.
LikeLike
All of them are based on the video games and all the characters are from it. However, the series are not connected at all (which can be confusing since CP1 and CP3 both starred Hu Ge).
They are however all very similar…. the three dramas are produced by the company Tangren and have the same kind of sad storyline :”D
