魔道祖师广播剧 [Mo Dao Zu Shi Audio Drama]
THIS ENTRY IS FOR THE AUDIO DRAMA
As the grandmaster who founded demonic cultivation, Wei WuXian roamed the world in his wanton ways, hated by millions for the chaos he created. In the end, he was backstabbed by his dearest shidi and killed by powerful clans that combined to overpower him.
He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the sects—Lan WangJi, his archenemy.
This marks the start of a thrilling yet hilarious journey of attacking monsters, solving mysteries, and raising children. From the mutual flirtation along the way, Wei WuXian slowly realizes that Lan WangJi, a seemingly haughty and indifferent poker-face, holds more feelings for Wei WuXian than he is letting on…

mdzs was the first audio-drama i ever tried to listen to, not that i finished it then. i ended up stopping at the 3zun flashback during my first attempt, but it did start me on the years-long journey of slowly becoming obsessed with audio-dramas and voice actors (aka CVs), so i suppose i have it to thank for the 北极圈 / arctic fandom i've landed myself in now.
it is also one of the first major commercially-produced audio-dramas, spl being the other, which makes this a compulsory listening experience for anyone looking to get into audio-dramas imo. having now listened to a few other audio-dramas, most of which were produced years after the first season of mdzs was released, i can better appreciate some of the little quirks that have now become audio-drama staples. for instance, back when mdzs was first produced, it wasn't yet the norm for the two lead cvs to 报幕 / announce the production details at the beginning of each episode. they had the director (图大, if you're curious) do it instead. i think this shift has been really fun, because the lead cvs then get to 报幕 as the characters they're playing! the character 报幕 that made the biggest impact on me so far is shen jianqing's in 情蛊 qing gu. there's a childhood flashback before the 报幕, so child!sjq's cv starts the 报幕 first, then adult!sjq joins in and eventually takes over, subsuming both his younger self and the innocence he once held. i got actual chills, it was so well done.
another 报幕 shift that's specific to this studio and mdzs specifically appears in the second season of the tgcf audio-drama. in one of the bts clips for the third season of mdzs, lu zhixing (wei wuxian's cv) suggests punctuating the actual episode itself with 报幕, such as:
the production team shoots him down immediately in the bts clip, which makes their application of this idea in the second season of tgcf a lot funnier than it's meant to be 😂 it's actually meant to be very sad, but oh well. every time i listen to it now i can't stop thinking about this bts clip lmao. it did make a huge impact on me when i first heard it though! i kinda just sat there like 🫠 oh. 报幕碎得跟我心一样 / the announcement was as broken as my heart
(btw, the tgcf audio-drama is produced by the same team as mdzs, which in hindsight explains a lot about how good it is)

anyway, enough of me rambling about cool audio-drama details i noted. there are going to be plenty of mdzs reviews coming from me eventually, so for this one, i wanted to focus on the one scene i think has a greater impact in the audio-drama than in the novel, and that is none other than s3e8, in which the juniors disobey their elders and run back up the mountain to save the scourge of the cultivation world.
mdzs, and the wuxia genre it draws its inspiration from, is characterised by vengeance: the different ways one might go about taking one's vengeance, the duty one has to exact revenge, how much vengeance is considered just and how much is considered immoral, and how one's reputation might play a factor in deciding that. the jianghu is a space in which debts and kindnesses must both be repaid in full, and the trail of blood the former demands could very well stretch from one end of the land to the other. both wei wuxian's generation and the generation before them fall apart precisely due to the need for vengeance, and yet we can't even blame them for it! how can we, when we might very well have done the same thing? they grew up in a cruel world that demanded vengeance, and so they took it where they could.
that's what makes the juniors' choice here so powerful. not only do they not choose vengeance, they actively choose kindness. all of them disobey elders they respect and esteem greatly to run back for wei wuxian, whose spectre they've been raised to fear. ouyang zizhen and jin ling, in particular, disobey their parental figures, and jin ling does it for someone he still believes murdered both his parents. later, after the corpses of the wen remnants climb out of the blood pool to save them, these young lordlings of the cultivation world empty their personal sachets (incredibly intimate items) and offer them to wen ning, simply because he looks devastated at once more losing his family. not even jin ling, who has more reason to hate wei wuxian and wen ning than most people, says or does anything to stop them.
and all this—the juniors choosing kindness, jin ling softening towards his parents' murderers, even the wen corpses saving them in the final moments of the battle—all this is only possible because they were first met with kindness by wei wuxian and those of his generation. wei wuxian's own kindness, of course, is obvious enough, but wei wuxian himself also tells jin ling in an earlier episode: 你舅舅他们拼命，不就是为了让你们这一辈的小孩儿，能不拼命吗？ / didn't your uncle's generation fight as if their lives depended on it, so that you children wouldn't have to do the same? they lived in cruel times, so they chose to make the world a better place for their children, and that is the only reason these children are then able to choose kindness.
i'm just 🥹🥹 when i got to this part, i immediately texted my friend 魏无羡之辈来时不逢春，去时春满城 🥹🥹 后辈会越来越好的 / when wei wuxian's generation came, they met not the spring; when they left, spring filled the entire city. the future generations will be better and better. she replied with sobbing emojis. i think that perfectly describes how i feel about this scene, and about this particular theme in mdzs as a whole

THERE'S AN AUDIO DRAMA VERSION OF MY FAVORITE LOVE STORY. *Cries from excitement*

I like this adaptation, it has new dialogue to better explain some of the scenes through audio and I love the voice acting too.
Listened to the Yi city arc in the span of two weeks, because that needs some time to process no matter which version you're experiencing...
