While Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang were enjoying a happy vacation, basking in the cool, refreshing breeze of the vast grassland and the expansive view, "The Journey to Immortality" finally premiered.
"The Path to Immortality" had already made a lot of noise thanks to Jiang Yixing's revelations at the promotional event, and the number of viewers when it premiered was more than expected.
As an opening from the male protagonist's perspective, the first episode of "The Journey to Immortality" introduces the story of how the male protagonist and the female protagonist met at the foot of the mountain. This is a traditional opening for a fantasy drama, and the combination of a passionate male protagonist and a naive and sweet female protagonist is also a classic configuration for fantasy dramas.
While this traditional plot and character design may lack a bit of novelty, it has still won the hearts of some viewers who enjoy fantasy dramas.
However, "The Path to Immortality" has another characteristic: it is an ensemble drama that focuses on the portrayal of a large group of characters.
In order to tell the characters' stories completely and clearly within a span of dozens of episodes, "The Path to Immortality" has a faster pace than typical fantasy dramas.
For example, in general, the meeting of the male and female leads, along with the previous setup, can take up one or even two episodes. However, in the plot of "The Path to Immortality", it only took up half an episode.
The overall pace of "The Journey to Immortality" is a bit fast, breaking away from the emptiness of previous fantasy dramas. The director uses plot and characters to fully reveal the world in the drama. If you examine each character closely, you can discover the little stories behind them. This huge system further supports the expression and development of the plot.
Using the experiences of the male and female protagonists as the main storyline, "The Path to Immortality" depicts an era and portrays the responsibilities and duties of the immortal sects.
Viewers of "The Path to Immortality" have discovered that when they finish work or school and are about to have dinner, they can't find themselves watching a new show to kill time. Once they start watching "The Path to Immortality," they can't stop!
Xiao C is an office worker. One evening, during dinner time, she picked up her takeout as usual, turned on her computer, and prepared to watch a show while eating.
What recommendations are there on the homepage?
Campus dramas…no, I don’t like them. Prime-time family dramas? No, no, too heavy. Urban romance dramas? No, too idealistic, they’re all detached from reality.
I finally found "The Path to Immortality". Hmm, this one seems pretty good? It even trended on social media before.
I'll just watch it to kill some time.
The opening scene featured familiar landscapes; after all, it was a fantasy story, so it had to create a sense of ethereal beauty. Little C nodded, took a bite of rice, and understood.
The following plot is still very common: a clueless young male protagonist appears, meets a similarly loud and cute female protagonist, and the two spend some time together.
Little C ate her beef rice bowl, thinking to herself, "So this is the kind of story I'm talking about. It's rather bland, but not bad."
However, this lighthearted and cheerful scene lasted only about ten minutes. Before Little C had even finished her bowl of rice, the plot took a turn.
The male and female protagonists encountered a demonic beast attacking them on their journey. Neither of them had ever seriously cultivated immortality, so they were naturally beaten to a pulp. In the critical moment, the female protagonist was slapped into a tree by the demonic beast, and her face turned pale instantly.
The male protagonist was anxious, but his strength didn't allow him to play the hero and save the damsel in distress. At most, he could only rush forward and stand in front of the female protagonist to prevent the monster from harming her.
However, an unexpected change occurred. The female protagonist suddenly opened her eyes, which emitted a chilling red light. Her movements suddenly became swift and clean, and her strength increased several times over. She knocked down the monster with a single punch.
