I finished Douluo Continent, and felt unsatisfied with the way they portrayed Tang San. Nothing to do with Xiao Zhan himself, but the story was so fractured , apologies for spoilers here

Yeah I think everyone had a similar complaint.

When the drama was first conceived, it was meant to launch Wu Xuanyi as an actress. She had recently come second at the immensely popular 'Produce 101' and they debuted as Rocket Girls under Tencent, and this would have been her debut drama . Also she was spokesperson of the Douluo Dalu Video game.

Drama was filming in Jan 2019 before Untamed had aired. Situation changed when Untamed happened, the drama that was a very basic B (low) budget drama, received quite a bit of extra budget and new sponsors that they actually used to improve the CGI.

Marking this bit as 'hearsay' : At the same time, they extended Tang San's scenes (opposed to originally planned) and took out quite a bit of Xiao Wu's role. Her fans complained that a lot of their "jie's arc" was cut off, her fans and CPop Daipais were predominant in the shooting scenes, and apparently she had a huge arc of her own that involved her saving spirit animals that got cut off.

Cutting chunks off drama and adding Xiao Wu in places where she had no business (such as the interaction with his mother, which was one of the moat precious moments for Tang San only) kinda made the character overbearing and "too much in the face".

Getting back to facts we already know, script writer Wang Juan messed up for sure. Adding the issues I mentioned above plus the fact that it was a very low grade drama initially which means apart from CGI the whole production quality was low. Anime and book fans were unhappy (I'll take the 2D 'antifans' who hated XZ out of the picture), as Tang San was so weakened. XFX were happy to see XZ drama after all the events the year before, but many were unhappy as how Tang San as a character was treated, since a lot of them grew up loving the character and his adventures in books, so it was a dissapointment.

So Anon, what you feel is what many people feel as well. But things to remember, it's no way reflective of Xiao Zhan or his acting abilities. It's ok, and as time passes he will take in better and better projects.

And we got a gorgeous Tang San 😍
