I don't think this is necessarily the screenwriter's fault, he just writes dialogue. They should have a fight choreographer who is in charge of making the fights look interesting and dynamic.Singularity:
Agreed - it's like they forgot a crew member entirely or he never showed up for work.
I'm shocked DC is still holding on at 8.2.

The genre itself is more popular to male population. There are very few percentage of female population that liking this kind of genre (the original, I mean). This watered down adaptation honestly quite palatable to general female audiences, which is why lots of user in the main thread are still able to liking this watered down adaptation. And MDL is filled with female population so ....
I have said it before that Wang Juan changed Douluo Dalu that caters to male to the one that caters to female instead.
Also, I believe most of us here haven't rated this drama yet.

I couldn't quote because it says it's too long.
Responding @Xien_Rue's grievance no 6, as far as I remember in original material, Dai Mubai also has a brother and Zhu Zhu Qing has a sister. The sibling relationship is toxic as well... This part still sticks to the book.
For the rest, I agreed ><
I know that Dai Mu Bai has brother in the original (I never remember Zhu Zhu Qing has one though). I meant the drama add something by "showing" the character instead of just mentioning their existence like in the novel. And this is should be when the drama showing its worth by digging more and add some emotional line, but no. Like perhaps giving us something from the POV of those sibling.
Honestly sometimes I wonder whether stans think at all about what they're watching lol...
I honestly wonder if some viewers in general even think at all about what they're watching. I swear if it is considered a drama to some of them it's just an instant 10/10. Not even rating objectively or providing anything objective period relating to the work, just the medium. Stuffs got me scared lol...

That was my biggest surprise first coming to drama land - how easy it seemed to hypnotize the mindless masses into thinking everything is a masterpiece lol. But hey, great for productions companies--all you need is a pretty- faced idol, a copy pasta setup, and a few really dramatic Ost's, preferably performed by the idol him/herself. And voila, another ratings killer. Critical thinking gets neglected and even discouraged, and production companies are more than happy to cut quality when there's no demand for it. The familiar story with a lot of modern "art" unfortunately. I gave up on Hollywood long ago for the Criterion channel specializing in old movies, mostly foreign.
As @major said, it is so surprising that people think of this as masterpiece drama. I admit that this is watchable but no masterpiece. If I want to evaluate it as new watcher, I will give it 7/10 at best. But since this is marketed as adaptation, then I shall evaluate it as adaptation. This drama not worth more than 5 as an adaptation (the value can be even lower). The traffic actor culture is so annoying.Xien_Rue:
tell me about it. this drama is practically a ppt. i'm gonna be even more rude, if I didnt know, I would've thought Guo Xiao 4 is the screenwriter. from what I heard, the industry is even worst than that and the film colleges aren't making it better. someof those actors cant even READ the f*cking lines
