    recently when the novel Nirvana In Fire was started being translated i came across comments about it's tv adaptation, so i decided to check it out and it's pretty good ( currently watching ep 22), so i decided to finish watching the drama and stock up novel chapters before binge reading

    so i was wondering if there are other good tv adaptations for any other good novels that are being currently translated

    i don't mind even if it is japanese or korean novel

    is the adaptation good? since death note is one of my fav anime i do not want to watch anything subpar

    this one was recently translated and i read those 5-6 chapters looks like a harem plot so is the novel bad or the adaptation that's subpar?

    Currently being translated? I don't follow dramas, but there is always the classic 'A Step into the Past' which brought fame to Louis Koo. The entire novel has been translated too.

    There tv adaptation for Journey of Flower.

    I hear there gonna be one on Zhanxian In the future.

    I recommend you look for
    demigod and semi devil.
    Royal tramp aka Duke of mount deer.
    Return of the condor hero
    Wandering swordman aka as swordman.
    Dragon saber and heavenly sword.

    They are classic wuxia drama that I see keep being revamped every number of year. Sometime some version the script had change somewhat from the book version.

    Oh, also royal tramp is not a true wuxia story but does have involvement of the martial art world. Still my favorite due to the clever/shameless Mc whose despite bad at martial art get a harem of female martial artist that stronger than him.

    Return of the condor hero is my close 2nd favorite. This follow by Demigod and semidevil ties 3rd with dragon saber and heavenly sword.
