Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

Just to get it out officially (if you missed my other update) since I did cover Bai Bai He and her husband, Chen Yu Fan‘s news. They posted on weibo about it, announcing that they have been divorced since 2015 but didn’t announce the news to the public for the sake of their child. They apologize for causing suffering to both sides of the family and their kid. To focus on his son, Chen Yu Fan will leave showbiz for an indefinite amount of time. I’m glad everything is sorted out peacefully. It’s rare for both parties to be understanding and supportive. It was really them against the world for a few days.

With the gray clouds no longer over our heads, let’s move on to the first round of drama premieres!

English Title: Fighter of the Destiny

A gifted child in the practice of a special magical language? Sorry I lost it at this point, all the magical voodoo vocab. She likes archery and hates nuisance. [Credit: Kap]

    Surgeons is being subbed by Dramafever with their standard 2 episodes Mon-Fri. I don’t think anyone is subbing Fighter of the Destiny.

  2. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    I just finished four episodes of Fighter of the Destiny. It’s better than I expected. Liking the leads except for Gulnazar. Goodness she really is wooden. Pretty, but definitely too wooden.

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      I know! There’s no life to her acting. Beautiful girl.

      • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

        I hope she picks a more bubbly role next time.

  3. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    FOTD will be subbed by Luhan’s fanbase, they already started. I think they will use the video from YoYo Youtube channel. But I’m not sure whether they will use the TV version or the uncut version like you posted.

  4. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    i like Surgeon. The first two episodes were good. And the sub was soooooo fast. Daebak.

    despite of BBH’s scandal (not really a scandal since they divorced 2 years ago), but she’s a talented actress. she’s really good. and Jindong, aigooo… he’s really really good. the OTP is really good. haha… i dunno what other word but GOOD.

  5. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    I watched FOTD and all of the leads are really bad at acting. Luhan and Guli Nazha being a double whammy. I don’t think I can continue the show, the story isn’t engaging either.

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      Ha, at the comment above yours. It’s ironic this posts contains both a show where the leads are consistently praised for their acting and then a show where people are like, why is the acting like this?

      I do like Luhan, his music is so catchy and I thought he was serviceable in his other roles, sad to hear he isn’t here. I always hear Gulinazha is terrible. I hope they don’t cast her anymore :/ I hate it when the acting ruins a show. I hate when anything ruins a show with perfectly good potential!

      • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

        I only managed to watch 1.5 episodes with the FF button. It’s not that it was that bad, but it’s not great either. I was lukewarm about the story. I’m still not used to Eric Tsang’s real voice and dubbed voice. It’s weird to watch the OTP. I keep thinking that they look like sisters. I liked the actress Chen Shu, but I did FF her scenes too just bc I didn’t like the story details there.

  6. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    Damn, Guli Nazha is worse than I thought. I am normally indifferent to bad acting but she has only one consistent expression throughout. I’ll continue to watch though; since the other main leads are cute.

  7. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    Watching neither. Just finished GOTD2. My gosh…that drama stole my tears. So much chemistry between our OTP. Bittersweet ending.

    LC and ZZ’s love story kept it going for me. His devotion and her sacrifice…how I wish there were more lovey dovey scenes between them in the courtship. Sigh…

    The supporting cast also stood out. AQX’s undying love for ZZ. His ending was nicely executed.

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      Where did you watch the remaining episodes of GOTD2 (since the YouTube uploads only have it up to Ep 16/ as per airing schedule)? Or do you already have a Premium Tencent Account?

      I’m really enjoying it, but of course the angst…

      • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

        Ah, the angst! I am stopped at ep8 for a breather as so much tears on a workweek night is not sustainable. yes, love LC and ZZ. I really do not like Dugu Jingyao. Totally understand that a woman has got to fight for what she wants but this is totally overdoing it!!

        • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

          It gets better towards the middle! I just love the way LC looks at ZZ. So dreamy. Haha

        • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

          Yay thanks for letting me know. I saw some snippets of the conversation between Jingyao and ZZ and I really wanted to strangle the former !

      • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

        Bilutv has all 32 if you don’t need English subtitles.

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      I haven’t been able to catch up on GOTD2. The fact that Dugu Jingyao is in most of the episodes turns me off completely. She is worse than AQX in terms of romance.

      • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

        Yes! I can’t stand DGJY. Not too surprised she turned that way though. Jealousy at its best. ZZ trumps all the other women lol LC and ZZ have more scenes later on, so keep watching.

        • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

          I’m trying to catch up and it’s much easier now since I fast forward most DGJY scenes. I should really just look for a LC and ZZ cut, hahaha.

      • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

        The earlier eps of GOTD2 were admittedly full of frustration, honestly at least 95% because of JY, but after *spoilers* the show gets really good, and I actually really enjoy watching this sort of angst.

        Well, I ended up completing the show, and I must say I think they did a really good job concluding An Qingxu’s arc, as well as most of the characters’ arcs, really. Honestly, overall I think they did an amazing job concluding the show and redeeming certain characters in general. Dugu…is a bit hard to redeem, but I felt her ending appropriate.

        • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

          Glad to know! It’s always tragic when a drama starts off well and the ending is rushed to wrap things up.

        • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

          Overall, the drama had some draggy parts, but the ending wasn’t rushed. I just needed a happy ending lol

        • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

          @Hannah: Agreed — I feel like Season 2 especially had so many flashbacks. Some of it was to draw out angst, but sometimes I felt like they replayed scenes merely minutes after they just occurred.
          Also, just thinking about the ending… *sobs* why?! It was bittersweet, and at least ZZ and LC were on good terms, but . . . I’m so saddened these days that I’ve been rewatching the last two eps again in denial.

        • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

          Yes! I’m having withdrawal. The way LC looks at ZZ melts my heart.

          *spoiler*

          The scene where LC begged for her not to leave him showed how much ZZ meant to him. They say men don’t kneel, but got he down on knees and all. Gosh…I need more scenes of them. I’ve been playing the end of ep 31 again. That song and scene really go together!

          The ending gives closure to our OTP, but it’s not my ending. The one time I didn’t mind a change lol

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      I just started GOTD and after couple of sleepless nights and binge watching, I finished as well. I cried watching the last few episodes too. The OTP has been through so much, can’t they just live happily after?

      But overall, a good drama in my book. I hope Jing Tian and Allen Ren collaborate again because they had great chemistry. I didn’t think they would have this much chemistry tho tbh.

      • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

        I know! To my surprise, they match well physically. I don’t mind another collaboration lol

        I also adore LC’s two bodyguards. So loyal to him and even ZZ.

  8. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    Luhan looks like a girl in the drama. Even my little sister thought he was gay and she has no idea who he is. They went overboard with his makeup.

    But I must say, the drama has quite a bit of eye-candy. You can tell they spent a lot on this production what’s with all the expensive sets & elaborate costumes. Still, some of the sets look tacky and obviously western-influenced, but since this isn’t meant to be set in a particular time period, I let it slide. It’s make-belief after all.

    The plot is also lacking a bit; the storyline is very predictable and driven more by plot than character.

    I’m hoping this will improve with time. I mainly watch for the eye candy, although Guli Nazha really gotta go. I thought she was bad in Chinese Paladin 5, but maybe that was her role. In here though, she’s starting to remind me of her character in CP5 too. That’s a bad omen. I only hope she won’t be annoying here as well.

  9. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    Surgeons is being subbed at Dramafever and Viki. As of today, Dramafever is further along in the fully subbed episodes than Viki, but the drama is available at both sites.

  10. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    FOTD animated series is definitely much much better than the drama. I could not believe the amount of cliche packed into this drama.

  11. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    Plot predictable, cast so-so, cinematography so-so too..
    Honestly the plot isn’t anything special, right from the start when you watch, inside your head you will be thinking, haven’t I watch something similar before already? Fast forward so much of the show.

    Lu Han well his acting is okay. He reminds me of Li Yifeng acting wise, anyone feels the same way? But to me, he is definitely better than LYF, his acting expressions are comfortable to watch and quite stable. Have to see how he does in scenes that requires huge emotional expressions, because tbh currently his character is relatively still easy to handle.
    And he looks too much like a girl omg…… why the red lip tint and eye shadow when Lu Han’s facial features are quite feminine already!!

    GLNZ same old same old… She needs to take some acting lessons and stop being a flower vase. She is pretty and I like her as a person, so I really want to see a breakthrough in her acting!!! Sigh…

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      I’m considering reading FOTD the serial novel to see how closely based was the drama. I have the feeling that whoever adapted the novel to screen did away with all the creativity and added all the overused plot devices.

  12. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    Probably will check out Surgeon since alot of people are raving about it and everyone can act.
    Reading by the comments probably not going watch Fighter…I know not good to judge book by its cover or anything but I still have Gulli PTSD from CP5.
    Quick question, since everyone isn’t too fond her acting, is China like that as well or they actually enjoy it therefore she gets cast as lead? lol

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      From what I read on weibo, the comments are all similar. “Too stiff”, “Flower vase”, “Needs to improve her acting skills”. So it’s not just us here haha! I honestly have no idea how she got cast as the female lead… maybe because she is pretty and is relatively popular? I think she isn’t really that popular in China though…

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      ROFL…”Gulli PTSD from CP5.” So fitting!

      Ever since I saw her in that role, I’m wary of watching anything with her in it. Her characterization was so bad, I’m still scarred from it. I see Yurou in whatever role she has now.

  13. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    FOTD quite surprise me it’s getting more and more interresting… the lead actress is a bit off tho. the lead actor is too feminine (it a bad point for a drama like this), his acting is quite good for a fresh meat he can’t be worst than yixing, LYF and WYF for me.

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      He is definitely better than YX and LYF, dk about WYF though.

  14. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    Watching Surgeons now on Youtube and am glad there’s eng subs cos of the medical terms!)The first episode wasn’t that great but after ep 2 I am hooked because of the acting, characters and story.

    I’m not really into idol fantasy dramas (bad CGI, superficial acting, all the cliches) and so far it looks like FOTD is not going to be an exception. Both leads are pretty but don’t look compatible AT ALL – they could pass as sisters instead. I just find Luhan’s appearance really off-putting in an ancient setting. Going to drop this drama and will maybe just watch some of Wu Qian’s cuts.

  15. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    I haven´t started FOTD yet, because the synopsis sound like there could a sad ending..and right now, I am quite fed up with those.

    I have to say that “Surgeons” suprised me, a lot! I am loving this drama so far, because of its calm atmosphere, the way they handle the medical aspects, also it seems more respectful than other medical dramas I have seen…you see doctors being doctors..despite their personal disputes..I hope that this will continue..even if there are 2 characters that make we want to strangle them..lol

  16. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    You can watch Surgeons on Viki! Some other new and upcoming Chinese dramas include April Star and Song of Phoenix ^.^

  17. 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

    Luhan’s acting in fighter of destiny was surprisingly better than i expected, especially for a newbie. I’m crossing my fingers he picks up another ancient drama with a more suitable female lead i.e. guli nazha, I love you girl (namely in god of war) but you’re meant to be the experienced actress out of the two leads. Why do I only see Luhan making the effort to spice up the chemistry =.=

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      p.s. by this rate, i’m rooting for Janice’s character to be coupled with Luhan’s character

    • 46 thoughts on “Cdrama: Fighter of the Destiny, Surgeons Episodes

      I feel the same way about Luhan. Not a fan and prior to Fighter, I had only seen him in The Lost Tomb movie where he surprised me. No mind blowing acting skills but at least he’s comfortable to watch.

What do you think?
