The Chinese Side of Things

The Journey of Flower

Hi, Julie’s here to share this Chinese TV drama The Journey of Flower  with you. 

What's it about?

It’s a heart-broken love story between a master and his disciple. The main character Hua Qiangu is an unlucky orphan, she needs to learn magic arts to survive after her parents died.  She goes to Changliu to study magic arts and because of her hard working nature and kind heart, she becomes the Changliu sect leader--Bai Zihua’s only disciple.


Bai Zihua lives with his disciple Hua Qiangu together in Jueqing Palace. He teaches Hua Qiangu magic arts, seven-stringed Zither (a Chinese musical instrument) and life philosophy. Bai Zihua cares for his disciple and protects her. 


Their relationship is pure and simple at the beginning, however, Hua Qiangu falls in love with Bai Zihua, but she doesn’t reveal her true feelings since the love is taboo.  Due to many reasons, Bai Zihua is poisoned. To save her master’s life, she feeds him with her unique poisonous blood.





However, Hua Qiangu’s blood can’t totally cure Bai Zihua. In order to save her master’s life, Hua Qiangu has to collect 10 pieces of godly equipment. Unfortunately, she mistakenly releases vicious demons and summoned the Demon God during the process. Many innocent people go through a hard time. Eventually, The Demon God transfers all his power into her body.

Hua Qiangu commits a crime. Bai Zihua has to punish her no matter how much he loves her. 




Hua Qiangu suffers many criminal punishments and experiences the deaths of her favourite friends’. Bai Zihua loves her but he never reveals his feelings. Too much pain, physically and mentally. Everything drives her crazy, her world collapses, and she becomes the new Demon God,imprisons Bai Zihua.



Hua Qiangu knows that she always brings misfortune to people. To maintain peace of the world, Hua Qiangu deceives  Bai Zihua to kill her. Bai Zihua regrets deeply.



Things are not so bad,  Hua Qiangu’s life is saved by her master’s senior fellow apprentice. They become couple in the end.

There are 58 episodes in this drama and I've watched them all. Even though the ending is good, their hard love journey makes me cry a lot...

I would like to share the opening song of this drama “Though the ages" with you. 



                             
                                       

Overall, I will give it a 4/5. It's imperfect because there are some scenes been deleted by the Hunan Broadcasting System. What a shame!

Hope you like it!
