XJX's supposed to be reaaaallllly hot riight? The way the author goes on about it...

And they don't get older than 25 (XJX) and 20(SM) in the story, if you exclude the epilogue..

I mean SM is 14 years old  at the beginning when she starts dealing with the second and third household of Shen Jia. 

Tbh, my dream cast is not really realistic. Torn between age, appearance and acting skill

me too. I can't shake off the feeling that the younger generation actresses is not yet at level or experience to give life to Shen Miao.  and as ShenMiao98  mentioned, where in the world can we get godlike looks for Xie JingXing? hahaha...

But I also thought of Zhao Liying for Shen Miao. her chubby cheeks can totally pull of the younger look type, and I think Chubbycheeks will approve

anyway personally here is my pick:

  • Shen Miao - Zhang LiYing
  • Xie JingXing - Mark Chao
  • Fu Xiu Yi - Deng Lun
  • Pei Lang - Zhu Yilong
  • Shen Family + Lou Family
    • Shen Xin - Jin Dong
    • Lou Xue Yan  - Fan Bing Bing
    • Shen Qiu - Joe Cheng
    • Ren Wan Yun - Ma Li Yi
    • Shen Yuan -  Zhang Han
    • Shen Qing - Peng Xiao Ran
    • Chen Ruo Qiu - Ruby Lin
    • Shen Yue  - Yang Zi
    • Lou Tan - Seven Tan
    • Lou Ling - Leon Zhang
    • Mo Qing - Leo Lou
  • Imperial Family of Ming Qi
    • Emperor of MingQi - Wu Xiu Bo
    • Prince Yu - Tu Song Yan
  • Xie Royal Family/ XJX people
    • Gao Yang - Greg Hsu
    • Ji Yu Shu - Wang Anyu
    • Emperor Yong Le - Huang Xiao Ming
    • Empress of Yong Le - Liu Tao
    • Cao Yang - Steven Zhang

though if there is no limit to nationality/language, I kept picturing Hamabe Minami. After I saw her in Kakegurui I can see her as Shen Miao. 

I know...the  whole age thing, but after watching the Legends and Arsenal Military Academy, here are my top 2 picks:

  • Shen Miao - Bai Lu
  • Xie JingXing - Xu Kai

They already have chemistry...and Xu Kai can definitely do cold and avenging after playing Mo Qing.

 ecwc:

Saya tahu ... masalah usia, tetapi setelah menonton Legends dan Akademi Militer Arsenal, berikut adalah 2 pilihan terbaik saya:

  • Shen Miao - Bai Lu
  • Xie JingXing - Xu Kai

Mereka sudah memiliki chemistry ... dan Xu Kai pasti bisa melakukan tindakan dingin dan balas dendam setelah bermain Mo Qing. 

I think its impossible :"  bcs KaiLu couple have an trouble.. if u remember case of drama ShangShi (Imperial Feast) it started with bailu as FL, but... yah YZ separate bailu and xukai.. to be honest im a cpf of kailu :")

Lol, I don't know where I'm supposed to fit anyone, all I know is that I've been waiting for yang mi to be cast as a villainous FL in a historical political drama.

 Pritchit:

I have to agree with that. It would be interesting to say the least. She has the vibe around here

Xie JingXing: Arthur Chen

Shen Miao: Lin Yun

Pei lang:  Zhao Lan Zhi

Fu Xiu Yi : Tang Shan Hai

My wishlist.....so looking forward to the drama....loved the book....though I am super excited that Jun Juiling comes out this year which is another fav

Dream cast:

- Shen Miao: Zhao Liying, Li Yitong, Liqin, Tan Songyun, Song Yi (based on facial features in the novel - face and round eyes. Their acting is not in doubt)

- Xie Jing Xing: Song Weilong, Wang Yibo, Jin Han, Wallace Chung, Hu Ge, Wang Kai, Leo Wu, Johnny Huang

- Fu Xiu Yi: Leo Wu, Kris Wu

- Mei Furen: Dilraba Dilmurat

- Emperor Yong Le: Lin GengXin, Wang Kai, Wallace Chung.

- Empress Xian De: Zhao Liying, Fan Bingbing

- Shen Yue: Sun Yi, Angela baby, Liu Yi fei, Cheng Xiao

- Shen Qing:?

- Gao Yang and Pei Lang: Gong Jun, Neo Hu,

- Shen Qiu: Whoever it is as long as he has the figure of a general, (not a thin actor with a cute face)


Actually it doesn't matter who the cast is as long as they can animate the characters well, and don't just rely on cute faces or attitudes (even if they are new actors or less well-known actors)

And yes, I hope they don't change the story line and turn our Empress Shen into an innocent, cute, and stupid woman like in most Chinese dramas today.

And as for the ban on airing rebirths, why don't they make it like the "joy of life," or "my heroic husband"?

And yes, for fans of certain actors and actresses, can you stop pressuring the production team to use certain players who are completely unlike the portrayal in the novel? Please don't spoil the fun of pure novel fans like me.

Dunno why, but after this I can totally picture Yang Zi as Shen Yue. She can definitely play the soft, delicate Shen Yue. ...

After all these expectations, I really hope they don't butcher the plot...
