Alrite, jus finished a REALLY long drama series (55 episodes in all), X-Family, aka Zhong ji yi jia, which is the "Sequel" of KO no.1 (zhong ji yi ban).. tho, i haven watched zhong ji yi ban yet.. (shud be soon! darn, feeling so screwed by now..)
The story is starts wif the main cast(gold dimension) in ko no.1 losing their powers in a fight with evil and that they haf enlisted xiu (a superhuman from iron dimenson) to locate their other selves in iron and bring them over to gold to help recover their powers. xiu finds xia tian, who is one of the other selves, in iron but has no powers at all.. but he soon discovers the secret behind xia tian and his gui long (sealed inside the body)..................
[spoilers alert]

alritey, a not-so-short summary of the WHOLE storyline:
fenglong card arc- some one-eyed thing eyes fenglong card (FLC from now on), and goes abt trying to get it, first thru seducing xia xiong (xia tian's mum) and then thru gui long (after learning that guilong's pick was actually the FLC).. as xia mei (tian's sis) threw han(tian's crush and eventual gf)'s drumsticks (soul-linked weapon) into mie (some demon dimension), tian rushed into mie to retrieve the sticks for an ailing han.. his "sacrificial" act touched han, who didnt think much of tian at first, deeply. but tian was affected by mie as mie, being the demonic place that it is, boosted gui long's dark powers, causing him to break out out of the seal more often and threaten to take over tian's body. whats worse was that han turned out to be a stone heart killer who had been brain washed and planted into the xia family. she failed in her mission but tian wanting to stop the power hungry gui long from becoming a demon, stabbed himself with the poison needle anyway.. but "luckily" the needle's effect nullified the demonic powers frm mie and put gui long back into control..
intermittent arc - aft the incident, the family is back to "normal" but tian still wants to save han, who is quickly turning into stone aft failing her mission.. (stone heart killers lose consciousness and are unaware of their own identity when as their normal selves). at tis time, someone sent them the long lost hui hun qu (revive song) of Ye family. They played it and saved Han.. But the next step was on for the eye's plan.. the eye saw xia yu's (tian's muggle bro) envy of his bro, tian's, prospect of becoming the zhong ji tie ke ren (ultimate superhuman), and used yu's prof to entice wif a demonic ring which lends any muggle the power to absorb the powers of other superhuman and use it as his own. yu started small on lower superhumans but soon grew poer hungry and atked higher opponents, even, the revived han who now has amnesia. on a side note, now han and tian haf become really close as tian is the only one taking care of her in her current state (the family dislikes her for trying to kill tian b4). yu even atked the "prof" aft revealing that he now no longer need the ring to absorb the powers. yu was soon caught by tian and mei, who tried to cover up for him but the truth was eventually "revealed" to their mum, xiong-ge, which became a 3 way showdown between xiong-ge (have no idea why a female is called ge), the eye and yu. the whole arc ends aft tian's "useless" dad, ye si ren, arrived with xi mo qu (wash demon song), another artifact from the demonic ye ke la na family, which scared the "ball-less" eye awy (no further part in the show). the xi mo qu was then used to return yu to his original good muggle form.
ye ke la na family "devious plot" arc - aft playing the two long lost songs from ye ke la na family, ye si ren's identity is revealed as the former "crown" prince of the evil ye family, and how he banished his own demonic powers to be wif xiong-ge. the "automatic tracking system" of the two songs also led to si ren's bro, si si sending his underling, the uber powerful lan ling king to retrieve the two artifacts as well as kill all those who have had contact with it. but, as the plot unraveled, si si plotted, to kill si ren, via some poison letter but ultimately failed as tian and frens/family managed to secure the antidote from the ex ye family physician(they knew his whereabouts thru lan ling king's help). si ren is saved but to retrieve the two items, lan ling king challenged tian's gui long. due to the huge gap in power, xiu (rem him?) returned to gold dimension to borrow da dong's (tian's other self in gold) super weapon to fight lan ling king's lan ling sword. the fight nv occurred as it was stopped in time by the news of how ye si si killed lan ling king's family.. baffled, lan ling king went back to confront si si but was defeated by the sudden appearance of the demonic fireball which sucked all his power from him..
down and out without any powers left, lan ling king was taken in by ye si ren (along with han, who has now broken up wif tian as a twist of fate reveals that they r actually half siblings). si ren had doubts over the true mastermind of the conspiracy and the plot revealed that si ren's dad, the old master had faked his own death among other plots that he had. the new chief of superhuman is revealed. tian was framed to be the killer of lan ling king's wife and several good guys. tian was finally cleared aft it was revealed that the old master had enlisted the help of zack, an evil other self of tian from the bronze dimension. aft a long and draggy, baffling extended number of episodes, the old master's intention was finally revealed to be strengthening his own demonic powers on the day of a solar eclipse (believed to be a day where evil rules) thru gui long's body.. but his plans were foiled by lan ling king, whom under the guidance of his ancestral's spirit, managed to break the 7 Star Curse seal, ironically, first casted by the ye ancestors. At this point, gui long vanished, together with the death of the old master, a calefare guy, xia yu becoming gui feng and disappearance of xiong-ge into some sub dimension (with the closing of interdimensional doors).
Training to be Ultimate Superhuman Arc - tian's will to become the ultimate superhuman increased aft his mum's disappearance and that only the weapon of the ultimate superhuman can save her. With his 7 star curse seal broken, lan ling king was oso on route to compete with tian for the position. Things were complicated when time threatens to repair itself in the absence of xiong-ge and erase all evidences of her existence in iron, including deleting her family members.. a side story at this time is lan ling king's lover-who-was-thot-to-be-dead (bing xin), was actually han's twin sis (genetically modified human from some weird Ye family plot), alive and held by a demon. the people rallied together to save her from the demonic hideout (awfully short segment which didnt seem vry difficult?), but find that bing xin is abt to die.. they learn of some unorthodox spirit energy transfer method from the ex ye family physician that could occur between han and bing xin (due to their twin status). they did so, to lend bing xin and lan ling king the precious 3 days they cud haf together with the method. this unlocked one of lan ling king's 7 curses. tian and lan ling king then set about achieving their objectives for becoming the ulti superhuman. tian received help from the legendary shen xing zhe but his powers was sealed and was severely injured by another legendary hero, gun king before he could turn into the ulti superhuman. as shen xing zhe stepped in to save tian, he becomes the ulti superhuman but was deemed unfit and caused chaos when he tried to use his powers. gun king (shown to be demonised) appeared again to try to entice tian to the darkside by claiming that tian was the cause of all the chaos and ti would be rectified if he did so to return the balance. but a bigger twist was awaiting as gun king and shen xing zhe were revealed to be alter egos of the same body and the embodiment of both the purest good and darkest evil in one body was the cause of the chaos. To rub salt into their wounds, the Almighty Flaming God-like-thingy (afg from now on) appeared to vanquish the world.. even though the cause of the chaos was killed as shen xing zhe killed himself in redemption, AFG continued on his mission and the finale was a showdown between him and characters from the iron dimension. tho AFG was too powerful for tian and gang, he was touched by hw tian and frens tried to protect even the evil beings frm doom and gave up. the usual happy ending, bleah. (I WANT MORE FIGHTING!!!)
some afterthoughts:
- A FREAKING LONG AND DRAGGY SERIES!(can see frm my summary bah?)
- random killing of characters without much conclusion! (GUI LONG!)
- lame storyline! (still alrite)
- events dun really connect vry well (if Feng long card was so impt, why no one else wants it? O.o)
- basically jus an ou xiang ju to kill time (lots of it, wif 55 episodes!)
