The Tang Dynasty's Female Coroner

I've been reading Xiu Tang's books for a while, but this TV adaptation is infuriating. Is it always the good stuff that gets ruined?

In ancient times, forensic doctors, called "wuzuo," were considered lowly professions, along with executioners and actors. They were looked down upon and despised, lacking human rights, and could not befriend high-ranking officials. In fact, if a high-ranking official befriended them, they would be looked down upon! Unless you were the emperor or someone with exceptional power and influence...

The writing is excellent, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the pacing is well-controlled. The only drawback is that the plot is not rigorous enough. The case itself isn't problematic; rather, the plot twists often feel contradictory. Sometimes he's broke yet spends lavishly, sometimes he's skilled yet gets easily subdued by a scumbag, and so on. Generally speaking, it's passable, but the subject matter the author wrote about inevitably raises the bar a bit.

The titles "Jin Yu Man Tang" used to be so beautiful, with so much poetic imagery. Now, the titles are all so plain and simple... 😥😥😥 But maybe this is the trend now; those beautifully evocative titles are mostly gone, replaced by these plain, simple ones. Sigh.

I was disgusted. The more I read, the more disappointed I became. The first 40% of the content was great, the character and plot design were amazing, and the author's steady writing style made you want to read the next sentence after finishing the previous one. However, this amazing journey for the female protagonist ends as soon as she leaves home for Chang'an.

I always felt so sorry for Su Fu, giving so much and loving so silently. I silently wish you happiness. This is the first time I've ever felt so heartbroken reading a book where the male and female leads end up together. If Su Fu and Ran Yan were together, would the ending be different? Would Su Fu have a smile on his face? (Personal thoughts; please don't criticize me if you don't like it, you can just ignore this.)

"The Great Tang Female Forensic Doctor" is my absolute favorite book, bar none. I was so surprised and excited to see it being adapted into a TV series, but I didn't even finish the first episode before I wanted to stop watching. It was such a disaster! The TV series just used the book as a shell, didn't it? I'm speechless.

Having read over 30 chapters, I had to stop and complain. The author's writing relies heavily on the plot; many details are flawed, contradictory, or purely imaginative, lacking any concrete examples. For instance, the depiction of Taekwondo, the creation of syringes, and the timing of Hua Tuo's prescription and the introduction of syphilis. Take Hua Tuo's syphilis prescription, for example.

Honestly, I feel the female lead is very altruistic. Perhaps I'm not expressing it accurately, but I really can't stand her behavior. She likes Su Fu, Sang Chen, and Xiao Song, but her feelings for Xiao Song are slightly stronger. Even though it's constantly emphasized that the female lead's feelings for the other two aren't exactly romantic, she always does reckless things without considering…

Hello Xiu Tang, I'm a loyal reader of "The Imperial Coroner of the Tang Dynasty." I've been hoping for a TV series adaptation for years. So when it finally came out, I was really looking forward to it, but after seeing the plot, I was truly disappointed. I understand the need for some cuts and changes when adapting a work for film or television, but it shouldn't be so drastically altered.
