Dadao Chaotian
One Way or Another
大道朝天
A person who has traveled all over the green mountains is still young, but when he suddenly looks back, the sword is just between his eyebrows, but in his heart. Jing Jiu, who lives in a mountain village in Chaotian Continent, unexpectedly receives Liu Shisui, who is born with Taoism, as a book boy. The two came to the Qingshan Sect by chance, but they were criticized because the "mediocre" Jing Jiu actually took the "extraordinary genius" Liu Shisui as his servant. At the sword inheritance conference, Jing Jiu also met Zhao Layue, a Sanwu girl from Shenmo Peak. Jing Jiu, who is surprisingly "lazy", just wants to practice quietly, but little does he know that fate will involve the three of them in a huge river and lake dispute... Under the Taixu, are the green mountains far away? Not far. (Source: Bilibili, Google translated)

This show is alright. My favorite part is the thought exercise of considering the world from the POV of somebody who has already lived a full life. As I was putting myself in the main character’s shoes, I realized just how pointless and insignificant all of our daily struggles are. My second favorite part of this show is that it sometimes gives a reflective interior monologue for some random character, often a supporting character that doesn’t seem that important. This pulls us out of the hero focus and adds depth to everyone. It also contributes to the reflective, tranquil tone of theshow. What do I like less? Probably everything else. The world is a bit confusing, and with so many characters and subsects, I had trouble keeping them straight. The story is a lot of typical cultivation stuff, with some element of a mystery to uncover, developing both forward and backward; but all in all, not that gripping. I didn’t find the main characters to be either likeable or unlikable, just ok enough to watch. I do like that there is no love story; it wouldn’t have fit in, either. But I didn’t feel anything particular for the main characters, except maybe the little boy, but his story seems to have been pushed off for a Season 2 that may or may not come. The music is ok, art is ok. This is a 3D donghua and the characters look pretty good, but I watched Island of Siliang right before and in comparison, it’s not quite as gorgeous. I would watch a second season- in fact, I do want to know what happens next. But I won’t be crying if it doesn’t come.
