If they keep the soundtrack from the anime, I think this webdrama will be all set! It’s so good to jam to. Rakshasa Street (镇魂街) is the drama adaptation of a manhua starring Jiro Wang (Looking for Aurora) and An Yue Xi (Tornado Girl 2) as the leads in a supernatural modern world where there’s hell and heaven, and the in-between dimension. What is causing me to side eye this production is the lack of a child actor to play Jiro’s adorable, beyond-his-age, brother! WHERE!? I saw the stills of the brothers when they were younger but nothing when Jiro is playing the adult role. Please don’t remove that aspect. I love the brotherhood!
Character Descriptions and Stills:
Our male lead, Cao Yan Bing (Jiro Wang). He comes from a family of guardian generals and was born with a guardian spirit or so we thought (Lol). His younger brother wasn’t born with one and their parents consider that a freedom, a blessing. Not long after his brother was born, his parents were called away and never came back. We learned later in the story that they were killed, leaving the defenseless kids to fend for themselves; being sold, being beaten, being separated. All I have to say is adversity makes a hero and it’s the case here for both brothers as they grow stronger to protect their home in Rakshasa Street.
Our heroine, Xia Ling (An Yue Xi), is a fresh graduate out of college and looking for jobs. When she receives a text message for an interview late at night at a street called Rakshasa, she rushes out, and belatedly realizes how weird it is for a company to interview so late (she’s desperate for a job). It’s too late now and she has crossed into a transitional dimension, the bridge between the human realm and hell, where spirits are kept until they are sanctioned. There are many streets like this and each street has a guardian general, guarding the place. At Rakshasa Street, it’s the turf of two brothers – Cao Yan Bing (older) and Cao Xuan Liang, presumably are descendants of Cao Cao.
An Yue Xi. Oh Tang Bao, why did you visit Xiao Fan and borrow his bangs?

There would still be a brother character here. Played by 黄天崎 – Huang Tian Qi, (dont know if just for a few episodes since we have seen him bts once) we have seen photos of them & a video, they look cute as brothers together. 🙂

Yep. That’s the brother I saw BTS too. But looks like very few scenes.
Wahhhhh.

I watched it over the weekend XD
Love the brotherhood (it does reminds me of FMA Brotherhood), the dialogue (so many good quotes) and the characters (Three KIngdoms and Water Margin references!). At first thought it would be a monster-of-the-week sort of story and am glad it turned out to be different. The brothers’ (past) story is so emotional T_T I also liked Yan Qing and all the guardian spirits.
So keen for season 2 next year and the movie + drama adaptations!

These episodes are very easy to binge-watch! Good for you!
The brothers’ past story killed me, so when the stab happened, I was aigoo-ing the whole way through it. Lol. Looking forward to more guardian spirits release! =D
So many adaptations and remakes!
