    Once upon a time the British controlled the territory where Jin Yong published his work, which is HK. Along came a white Jew who colluded with the British to exploit everything with commercial value from this place, thus was borned STAR WARS, a Westerners reinterpretation of JY's classic stories (Anankin = Yang Kang, Luke = Yang Guo, Rey = Zhang Wuji with sex changed; Son redeems the father, "orphaned" saviour of the galaxy ie. Rey)

    Anyways what I'm trying to say is its human nature to copy works from another country. So, keep in mind, you get The King's Avatar when u combine Sailor Moon and Street Fighter with Lord of the Rings.

    In the anime, 1AutumnLeaf has a red "tuxedo coat tail" (coz he's based on Tuxedo Mask char from Sailor Moon). Drama with Yang Yang went with a literal interpretation (he actually wears a mask within the game)...:

    Tuxedo Mask (the Sailor Moon char that 1AutumnLeaf is based on... hence y Ye Qiu's game char wears the mask in the live action drama starring Yang Yang):

    Did any1 watch Eps 12-14 where Ye Xiu gave Sun Xiang an uppercut (dragon rising vertically, aka dragon "punch")? They couldn't do it in the anime version coz there's too much StreetFighter resemblance what with a blond hair 1AutumnLeaf, and literal Ryu clone, so resorted to dragon turning around to eat its opponent instead...

    You guys know why the chars wear glass VR goggles in the title sequence rite? Coz TKA is based on Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury had them way back in the 1990's version:

    Short haired Sailor Mercury --- It's the char that Tang Rou is based on.

    You guys seen the bromance between Ye Xiu (Ken) and Han Wenqing (Ryu) in the drama, ie. Why does Ye Xiu keeps on giving Han Wenqing a hand every time he's fallen? Well, it came from this scene in Street Fighter Alpha, one of 3 popular international works that TKA is based on:

    Ep 18. You guys know where Ye Xiu's twin brother comes from... In Sailor Moon, Darien (aka Tuxedo Mask) has a twin called The Moonlight Knight:

    Does anyone know if they're selling merchandise from the drama? Would love to have even 1AutumnLeaf (drama version) poster. But Wang Jiexi on broom would be best...

    I heard the drama only covered a little over 1/2 of the book... So S2 is doable!

    What I liked most about this drama was in the anime Su MuCheng used her alt character Cleansing Mist to be with Happy, but in this drama it's Dancing Rain that joins Team Happy in Ep40.

    BTW, I was shocked when I heard another Tencent drama released this August scored higher than The King's Avatar.

    TKA only had 7.3 with <100K votes on Douban.

    The Untamed scored 8.1 with >500k votes (<= my jaw dropped at this number of voters).

    Anyone liking TKA should check out Founder of Diabolism (Mo Dao Zu Shi) also by Tencent. Both animes used the same voice actors/actresses and same art style. Was shocked Mo Dao scored way higher than The King's Avatar on Douban in both drama and anime versions:



    Both productions feature a similar storyline as per spoiler below...
    click to show/hide spoilers
    In The Untamed, the trio of main char, Su MuCheng, and Su MuQiu (brother and sister) are back. Only, instead of Su MuQiu dying in a car accident, it's Su MuCheng that gets killed by the main char, leading Su MuQiu to get back at the main char and kill him... But then the main char gets resurrected, that's like Ye Xiu losing 1AutumnLeaf to reincarnate as Lord Grim.

    At around 9 mins in... The guy in white lying on the bed... Is it anime Ye Xiu's voice? He sounded awfully familiar. BTW, this new Castle in the Sky 2 series should b applauded. SFX is almost on par with Western TV quality.
