Tushan Jing and Xiao Yao, here's to a Happily Ever After

 casie:

Which of his two dramas would you like to see first, Take Me Where the Clouds Rise or Love of the Divine Tree? 

Hard to choose! As long as they air, I will watch them whichever one first. 

Mmmm....But I must say I look forward to see Weiwei as a villain for a change, so I guess that would be the Cloud drama first then the Divine Tree one. LOL

 Sunbath12:

Either one - whatever is ready first haha

?

I'm uncertain about his role as the villain ?

He looks so sexy in black.

Yeah, I usually don't root for the villains, especially in Chinese dramas - they usually deserve their terrible endings lol. But it'll be a nice change for Deng Wei. He's been the shining good guy (most notably here in LYF as Jing), but it'll be interesting to see if he can pull off a charismatic villain type.

Coming back to the topic of this thread, I'd normally find a character like TSJ not super enthralling. My kind of male lead has tended to be of course good at heart but maybe with some kind of edge or darkness or misunderstood part. One of my favorite male leads from C-drama land is Ning Yi from The Rise of Phoenixes (sounds like the ML in Love of the Divine Tree is more my usual type). Somehow, however, DW made me feel full of empathy toward Jing - and his love for XY just soars for me.

 casie:

I used emojis if they become question marks again

Yeah, I hate it when that happens. I have given up using emojis in the discussion threads.

I agree that one gets back whatever karma one puts out. Bad actions cannot lead to a good end. But sometimes the villain's backstory can be so tragic of how they came to be, I feel empathy for them despite agreeing to the terrible end they received. There are 2 such villains on my list and it would have been nice if they had a chance for redemption. Sighs.

Jing is a sweetheart when it comes to love. He can be decisive in business but he values relationships and the people he loves. To him, people cannot be treated as commodities. I think that is very admirable quality on top of his kindness. 

Weiwei has that very sweet look about him and has always played the prince in shining armour. He was also the kind prince Xiao Lin Till the End of The Moon. I cried my eyeballs out for him when he was betrayed but still wrote a beautiful letter of forgiveness to his wife. It would be interesting to see him go full on villain.

Hahahaha MDL should do something about it
