I think I might have found CP so successful because of their super dooooooper good soundtrack with great castings.

Now that you mention it I agree Chinese Paladin really did started the trend LOL! They have no chemistry, and Ding YiвЂ™s like a rock. WuXin + Ding Yi is soвЂ¦one sided and itвЂ™s kind of going nowhere. They have chemistry and are interesting together. I agree with frea though, I totally totally ship Wu Xin and the flirty demon dude. ItвЂ™s just all so surface-based and bland.

The characters for RPG/wuxia are getting so 2D and flat and underdeveloped, the cast unnecessarily huge, and the plot way too fancy and convoluted and flowery. If it werenвЂ™t for GinaвЂ™s awesome storyline (at least it seems that way so far), I totally wouldnвЂ™t even consider CP5 even with Elvis, because it looks, again, like an idol drama with very little depth. ItвЂ™s almost hateful how so many dramas are going down this trend. Ancient Sword was ok, I thought, but Xuan Yuan Sword and Legend of Zu for me are so so idol wuxia. Chinese Paladin started the trend, but I feel like the CP ones worked because the plot and cast werenвЂ™t overly fussy, and the classic wuxia themes are all still there. You phrased it so accurately! ThatвЂ™s what I felt from the beginning! I was so disappointed with this because it was SUCH a typical idol drama.
