More and more netizens have learned about the new drama "The Legend of Chang'an" because of the gossip surrounding Wen Yan and Gu Xiran.

There are even quite a few people who dislike Wen Yan and Gu Xiran individually or collectively; they originally watched the show intending to give it a low rating.

Unfortunately, video apps have their own mechanisms, and you can't rate a video if you don't watch it for the full allotted time.

So these viewers, who were originally hostile, had no choice but to patiently watch a few episodes.

Good grief! After watching one episode, you want to watch another. Just when you're really getting into it, you find that you've already watched all the episodes for the week, leaving only a few minutes of previews that leave you wanting more.

I originally intended to give it a low score and a bad review, but I ended up subscribing to a membership and following the official account of the TV series. While waiting for the next episode, I searched for behind-the-scenes clips.

A significant number of viewers even started recommending the show after watching it.

'Family members, seriously, you all need to watch it! It's 4042, and anyone who hasn't seen *The Legend of Chang'an* will be heartbroken, okay?'

"Yes, you'll know once you watch it, and you'll miss out on a fortune if you don't! The plot is excellent, the actors' performances are superb, the dialogue is superb, the costumes and props are superb. I haven't seen such a well-made TV series in a very, very long time."

"It's only been a few days, and it feels like the show's viewership is already close to 100 million."

"Haha, this drama is really good. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I initially learned about this new drama because of the gossip surrounding the male and female leads. But I really hate people who create hype, so I initially started watching this drama just to see how the comments section would criticize the male and female leads, and also to give it a low rating."

But who would have thought that once you enter the world of 'Chang'an,' it's like falling into a deep sea—it's fucking amazing! I'm completely hooked on this drama and can't get out. While waiting for new episodes, I reread the original novel, and many famous scenes and lines are perfectly recreated.

Personally, I think "The Legend of Chang'an" is the most successful TV series adapted for film and television in the last decade. And to be honest, if you don't have high expectations for the plot and just want to see handsome men and beautiful women, then this series is definitely a visual feast.

The male and female leads are undeniably good-looking. Aside from them, all the other male and female supporting characters don't have any questionable makeup or other shady practices. Each actor also has their own unique characteristics, so there's absolutely no chance of face blindness.

In short, I was really too loud when I criticized this show and the male and female leads before, and I want to apologize to them. Finally, ughhhh, can we please release more episodes each week? Early access viewing would be fine too; I don't need those few dollars, it's just two cups of milk tea.

"Haha, you're the only one who wrote such a long review! My situation is pretty much the same as yours. I used to be a complete hater of their products, but now I'm totally sold! My advice is simple: everyone go check it out!"

Of course, there are more positive reviews online than just these.

There are still people who deliberately leave bad reviews and give low scores.

"You guys who blindly praise this are all paid off, aren't you? How much per view to get me mentioned? Honestly, this show is unwatchable. Isn't it just a super Mary Sue story disguised as a female-centric novel? You guys just love seeing lots of men revolving around the female lead, huh?"

"+1, this drama is not only Mary Sue-ish, but the female lead is also incredibly violent, resorting to force at the drop of a hat. And despite being set in ancient times, she's a woman and yet she's so close to so many men. Disgusting, not good at all, I really don't understand why they think it's good."

"My god, are you the one who's been paid to smear this show, or did you not even watch it properly before coming here to spout nonsense? The female lead comes from a family of military generals, and she's mostly disguised as a man. The original novel is consistently in the top 3 of the 'woman disguised as a man' category. What are you talking about regarding the strict separation of men and women in ancient times and the use of violent martial arts... Are you a little bit... brainless?"

'You're the one who's out of your mind. I'm just expressing my opinion, what are you babbling about? Did I even give you permission to reply? You just keep talking nonsense.'

"Wow, you're pretty smart. We're all just surfing the internet. Since you didn't set your comment to be unreplyable, everyone who sees it can reply. What's wrong, are you getting impatient?"

"Get lost, stop your babbling. You replied to me first; I didn't even speak to you. I can tell you're unhappy in real life, so you spout nonsense online. You're crazy, always babbling away. You'll babble yourself to death."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder whose nickname is 'Just Love to Talk,' it seems to be you. Never mind, I can't be bothered arguing with you, you'll just get my keyboard dirty."

However, this netizen nicknamed 'Just Love to Talk' got agitated and wouldn't let go, continuing to spew nonsense.

After criticizing netizens, they continued to criticize the drama.

A few people who were just enjoying the spectacle couldn't help but leave comments.

"I have to say, I've been unexpectedly influenced by that crazy old woman, what's her name? All the things she called 'toxic' are exactly what I find appealing!"

"High five, sister! Me too, haha. No need to say anything more, I've already subscribed to a membership and am ready to watch all six episodes at once!"

'Waaah, I'm going to wait until next week to watch it all at once. If I have a membership, I can watch all 12 episodes at once, hehe.'

Both positive and negative reviews brought huge viewership to "The Legend of Chang'an".

With just six episodes, it garnered 80 million views in less than five days since its premiere, and is poised to surpass 100 million views soon.

With such great results, the production team, crew, and the video app they partnered with were all beaming with joy.

Viewers and fans flooded the official account of "The Legend of Chang'an" with messages, urging the director and actors to do something funny.
