JOL Season 2: casting, filming & broadcast/air dates discussion

 Frost_edelweiss:

(btw about Prince Jin, he was the one who had organized the first poetry meeting in S1. He's got two names, also known as Li Hongcheng, so he should be #6 beside Third Prince #7 in the last poster.  Somehow you got a numbering glitch?  I don't recognize #5...)

Li Hongcheng is called Prince Jin too?

i mean i check wiki, it said :

"Li Hongcheng (voiced by Xiao Jing), son of Prince Jin and close friend of the second prince"

so both father and son are called Prince Jin?

Prince Jing is about same age as Second Prince in S1 episode 5 and following. He first appeared introduced on screen  S1ep.5, 35:30 as prince Jing/Li Hongcheng (南庆靖王世子nán qìng jìng wáng shìzi  李弘成 ) ; title could translate as "crown prince of Jing".   He probably has a father who may be an elder prince, but I don't remember ever seeing that one in the series.  Maybe there's a difference with the novel?  Is there another "Prince JIN" perhaps?  Anyway I don't think that JIN would be a friend of Second Prince.   

To split hairs again, I missed the "G" in Jing in earlier message, so that might be the source of the conundrum?  And perhaps prince JIN is indeed #5 in S2 ensemble cast poster, who I wrote I had not recognized.  I think the land they rule in southern Qing is a fief  called Jing 靖  then.

S1ep7, 17:23

btw of course since Li Hongcheng is a Li, he has to be a member of that imperial family. Even the fostered people who are not of the real bloodline have that name (Grand Princess Li Yunrui). Except FX who has no wish to wear the name, as his mother refused it.

People debating about simple things and making them more complex, and getting confused is the most unbelievable thing in forum discussions. LMAO

So, does anyone have any news about Season 3?  I created a discussion in JOL season 3.

Cheers for a short wait. 

No, sorry, I don't think anyone  has even half reliable melons to contribute about that future S3 except that it is rumored to be in the works for... 2026 or 2027 (someone said that was the date put forward on Douban).

Thanks for creating the topic.  I hope many will add value to it. My first contribution is storing there the links Katelyn Arshi gave in comments about the ZRY staged farewell for S2 and wish to see future audience liking S3. (They might get better preserved there than lost in the tsunami of comments!)

But perhaps, if you have not started watching S2, you ought to start there ?  Or maybe you are waiting to have watched it complete before logging it in ?  I hope you liked or will like it.

Do you have anything you'd  like to contribute towards the naming characters challenge on second ensemble cast poster ?  Anthony has already done a lot of sleuthing  :)  and there are only 21 characters to recognize now, after the first poster gave names and description for 34, so perhaps it will be easier for someone just starting and attentive ? Being under the weather, I am not up to pursue the matter just now on re-watch, but will certainly do so .... later  :)

 Anthony Tumiwa:

i just looked again, that no.5 is mr Xu of Jiangnan, bookkeeper of specific county, CMIIW who works under Hou Jichang. Need to rewatch ep33,34 or 35.
i have fixed my post.

edit:

ep34: 23:40
it's Fuchun County, mr xu is under Yang Wanli (who has been promoted to Magistrate), not Hou Jichang as i previously said.

Thanks Anthony. That last "cyberpunk" leaning part of the drama was too hurried and characters were indeed not easy to be sure about, I also will try to re-watch more attentively ... later. (Too ill to do so right now. Ears buzzing, nose running, throat burning, eyes having trouble focusing, fever trembling, dizziness, cough : the works. But I am a strong person, so expect to "be back" like Fan Xian,  soon.  :).
