why you should watch douluo continent
the drama adaptation is such a good rendition of “soul land” and stayed true to the plot line and character development. it was fast-paced (perfect for me) but may be confusing for those who don’t know the story. i personally love the donghua, and i think the drama did an adequate job of portraying everything in their own way 😁 (read at your own discretion; this contains spoilers)
things i liked:
initially, i didn’t like the dreamscape bc wtf is it doing there? why is he hearing his mom’s voice in episode 1 (it just kills the entire momentum of the plot); and then after i got to episode 39... fucking ep. 39, i knew the dreamscape needed to be there in order to save tang san’s life; mr. wang who wrote the script, props to you.
the cgi 🥰✨ i had really low expectations bc if there’s shitty cgi like cql... i wouldn’t be able to handle it. but it’s so good ??? please, i know the ape soul beast was small and funny looking (bc they had to spend money on the water dragon lmao), but other than that, it was so good and how each and every character’s powers were able to shine
le outfits + makeup - they’re not super pale 😭😭😭 finally !!! and the outfits are so nice, SO SO NICE, each and every character holy hell
how they changed hu liena’s (aka. qian renxue) role in the drama --- she’s my fav female antagonist; she’s so good here, her character was annoying at first, but she’s so dynamic and independent, and just wants to impress her mom. you see her helping tang san + his squad during the last 5 eps because SHE CARES about her mom despite her strict upbringing 🥺 her and tang san have a ship name called 糖葫芦 (candied hawthorns) and i think that’s so cute hehe
the seven devils 😂 i loved the seven devils in this adaptation almost as much as i loved them in the donghua; each and every character got their own storyline, they’re not boring nor do they draw attention away from the tang san’s main plot, and you see so much development (esp. in ou sike and dai mubai)
headmaster, da shi, and er long trio! 黄金铁三角 iconic and they captured it so well 😭 they chose the actor for the headmaster so freaking well i’m screaming! he loves money so much and his little facial expressions as a third wheel is everything, the comedic relief! and da shi... i see y’all thirsting over calvin chen okay 😌 he’s so much better in the drama tbh & er long is majestic and amazingly powerful and cunning, i love her !!! and props to luo san pao, the best doggo ever!
the seniors! they basically perfected tang san’s relationship with dugu bo... it was antagonistic at first, but then they became besties over poison 😭❤️ i loved dugu bo’s character in here bc he was so funny & didn’t get social cues LMAO // the ape soul master was brief but he honestly made my day with how much he respected the tang family & how he took care of his father back in the day // 七宝琉璃 squad was also 🥰 (less hot than in the donghua lol) but they also somehow made jian yeye the comedic relief? i love how they’re so accepting of ou sike despite him being a support soul master
tang san’s mom - i can only hear her voice, but she made me cry & i love her for that
tang san ❤️❤️❤️ xiao zhan’s voice over just blended in with his character & it was just so wonderful; tang san in the donghua was smart, so fucking smart, cunning, but the kindest at heart; xiao zhan truly portrayed that and my most memorable part was when da shi said “your only flaw is that you let your emotions get the best of you” (this is so important), and you see him later try to control his emotions and not act rashly, especially when confronted with 时年 & 比比东 --- also crying scenes 11/10
bibi dong powerful, POWERFUL WOMAN, props to her voice actress, i got chills when she said, “你根本没有资格知道” // tang hao, wow he’s just like i imagined, but i wish he was a little more emotional in ep. 1 bc the blue silver plant in tang san is essentially his lover’s martial soul
how the concept of family was generated within the shi lan ke academy squad 🥺 it’s such a feel good drama, istg, makes you so happy when you’re having a bad day ✨
things i didn’t like:
xiao wu’s character portrayal (the scriptwriter’s fault, not xuanyi) // i honestly let it slide for the first 10 episodes bc i usually start falling for a character later on, it’s normal; but drama xiao wu didn’t fulfill the 小舞姐 in my heart 😔 i get that many people like her, but it’s not the same! xiao wu in donghua is beautiful, independent, and outspoken, BUT MOST OF ALL HER LOVE FOR TANG SAN IS OBVIOUS, you don’t need to say “一起去” every other line in the drama; i think this could have been remedied if they stayed true to the storyline and let tang san enter the secret dimension alone, bring the mythical herbs back, and have xiao wu prick herself to activate 相思断肠红 (they completely butchered the significance of the flower i’m so angry; fyi: the flower can only belong to you if your heart loves one person --- there’s the most beautiful backstory to the flower but drama douluo said nah). also, drama xiao wu is so clingy and she started exposing herself from the beginning... no momentum build-up whatsoever 😔 it’s 斗罗大陆, not 斗罗大陆: 小舞传 and sometimes it felt like she was being so insistent on following tang san around, i’m just 😓
the whole canghui academy scheme --- it was confusing for 10 eps straight until they got to the end of it, but I guess the drama wanted to add that part in because they wanted to focus less on the competition and more on 变异武魂 (the mutated martial souls) in order to defeat bibi dong
how the beginning was so confusing 😫 i wish they just stuck with child tang san remembering his past life as a disciple in tang clan & then learning 玄天宝录 on his own bc that was such a great part of his character development + understanding of soul masters/their weaknesses; and the fact that he would rely less on his parents
the kiss + confession at ep. 40 // could have done w/o it or even a simple forehead kiss; the confession from tang san was way too quick considering there’s little to no emotional build-up towards that moment (other than bibi dong doing all the work like the queen she is) and there’s no surprise element either? like we’ve been knew she’s a soul beast since ep. 5 🥲 and the kiss was awkward & like i said, sanwu’s love doesn’t need words or actions to confirm... it’s this innate thing that the audience should be able to see (if the scriptwriters focused a little more on BIG plot points that boost the sanwu relationship, then it would have been perfect) ^^ i wish they spent more time on the romantic aspect of the relationship bc even after 30 eps, they seem like siblings when OP said They’re Not.
overall thoughts:
this is purely my opinion, so please take it with a grain of salt! the cons imo were minor except for the development of the sanwu relationship; it doesn’t seem like romance to me 😔 but hopefully it’ll get better in the (maybe) second season when they take some time apart to grow? i’m surprised how much they referenced the original story (characters and such), and i am thoroughly impressed with WHERE THEY ENDED IT, and how they rounded all the new/old plot points together in a way that makes sense. i also don’t hate any of the antagonists, which is why this drama is so lighthearted and easy to watch. it’s not emotionally taxing (sans tang san crying bc xz breaks me heart 😭💕), and safe + enjoyable to watch with family! you’re gonna miss it once it ends, and i think that makes a drama successful 😁 also i’m not gonna go into depth about the mysterious ending bc i might spoil it for those who want to watch the donghua LMAO (but if you want to know my theories, shoot me an ask)

Elevator (PART 1)
This is my first time writing fanfiction ('cause writing on Wattpad at twelve years old doesn't count, right?) so take it easy on me, pls. Also, wanted to point out that English is not my first language, you are most likely going to find thousen grammar errors here, I apologize.
Pairing: Namjoon (RM) x OC
Summary: Namjoon meets Nabi for the first time.
Word Count: 1103
Warnings: None
Nabi took a sip of her coffee. The old coffee machine, on the second floor, still had the worst coffee in the entire building, watered down and sour. However, it was the only place where she could take it in peace, without having Jack, the cameraman, hooked to her side.
“Bibi! Bibi!” Elsie exclaimed drawing her friend's attention.
Nabi saw the girl gliding toward her and inevitably crashing into her right arm before she could move. The dark concoction splashed onto her white shirt and Elsie's blonde hair.
“Watch out!” She said even though it was too late.
“Oh, I'm so sorry…” the blonde answered, before starting to quickly remove napkins from the napkin holder on the small aluminum table next to the coffee machine. “Did you hear?”
“Hear what?” She questioned, snatching the ball of napkins from her colleague's hand.
“BTS”
“Hum?”
“BTS” Elsie repeated, her voice higher than usual, excited as a teenager. “They’ve already arrived.” She continued while Nabi rubbed her shirt frustrated.
She made an affirmative sound. She didn’t understand Elsie's euphoria over a boy band, her friend was almost thirty, too old to make such a scandal... of course if instead of BTS it was the Jonas Brothers, who Nabi was crazy about in her teenage years, she would also be jumping from side to side like a schoolgirl.
“Well, they are going to appear on the show today…” she replied not very impressed. “Maybe if you meet Bella in the makeup room, she'll let you stay and say hi.”
“I asked her before. They will bring their own staff, they will do their makeup.”
“Oh, well…” Nabi tossed the tissues in the bin, still staring at her shirt. She had no idea if the coffee stains would go away, but knowing how bad it was, she for sure would have to end up throwing the shirt away after only wearing it once. “Why do I feel like you're asking me for something…” she mumbled when she saw Elsie's sad puppy face.
“You could ask for an assistant... being the translator is tough work, the big boss will understand that you might need help” the blonde pleaded, clasping her hands.
"Elsie..." Nabi muttered when she heard footsteps approaching "That is too much to ask"
Just after that, a young man appeared holding a stack of papers and misplaced headphones. He hadn’t worked at the company for long, maybe a couple of months, everyone knew him though, but Nabi never managed to remember his name.
"You are the translator right?" The boy asked pointing at her with a pen "Ben has been waiting for you for ten minutes"
Nabi nodded and started to walk towards the elevator as she took her phone out of the back pocket of her jeans. 10:15 am. “Fuck, fuck, fuck…”
When she came out of Ben's dressing room fifteen minutes later, Nabi was exhausted. Keeping her mouth shut had never been one of her talents, besides that man would make anyone lose their patience. It was one thing to scold her and quite another to try to humiliate her.
“As the host of the show, I can't allow there to be such unprofessional workers." He had told her even though that had been the first time that Nabi had been late. "You know how many people out there are capable of translating a couple of words as you do..." He continued, trying to impress the young makeup artist, who was trying to contain a giggle.
By then it was too late to entertain herself looking for a top that would fit her, so she grabbed the first shirt she found and got back into the elevator. Inside was a man whom she only politely greeted without giving him a single glance. The ride was short, but the elevator was old and had broken down a few times in the past month, so it was slow enough for Nabi to change her top before the doors opened. She heard a slight sound as if the man had opened his mouth to say something but closed it immediately when he saw her unbutton her shirt. Nabi didn’t care too much, she had only been at work for a few hours and the day had felt too long, besides she had never been too modest. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. The shirt was too tight and thin, her bra could be seen through the fabric but at least it was not stained. She sighed and met the eyes of the man, who was staring at her, through the mirror. Nabi's eyes widened, recognizing him. He was one of the BTS guys, she had no idea what his name was but she had seen enough videos to know that he was one of the rappers.
"I, uh ... I, well ..." She didn't know what to say, if it had been anyone else, she wouldn't have bothered to say anything, but he was one of the guests on the show and it already had enough bad reviews. "My shirt was stained" she explained in Korean hoping that was enough for him not to tell.
"I see" The rapper answered sweetly when he saw the girl's sudden anguish.
The doors opened, Nabi bowed, as her grandmother had taught her, and the boy did the same before she hurried out.
“Jesus Christ, can the day be any worse?” She murmured to herself as she hurried down the hall.
In fact, it could. At eleven o'clock they had started recording videos of small sketches that would come out throughout the week. Nabi had stayed off-camera, translating every word said, and unlike how relaxed she normally felt she couldn't stop moving uncomfortably. The boy's eyes, RM as he had introduced himself before starting, were constantly on her as were those of the other boys. She couldn't decide if it was because of the elevator scene, the shirt that wasn't her size, or the constant rocking from side to side.
They then had a lunch break and the boys did not return until late in the afternoon. By then Nabi had changed, eaten, and calmed down. Her strange behavior was due to her feeling susceptible after talking to Ben. She wasn't used to making mistakes.
"Good job, girl," the director said to her when Ben's interview with BTS was over.
Nabi took off her headphones and set them on the table. "Thanks" she replied as the man tapped her lightly on the shoulder. No one said anything else. BTS performed a couple of songs and the show ended.
