omg this means those were actually yass pills

BCF said we go to dungeon and come back yassified for pride month

idc if you'll read it or not cause your own comments here are all long essays anyways lmao, i HAVE to let it out...Women working in the field have litterally TALKED about the fact that they're mistreated a billion times and I'm being "idealistic" here???? That shit litterally exists, it's not an "ideology" or "opinion"...people are are constantly goshing and vowing about Dream of splendor now cause there's finally a decent historical drama actually about women (no revenge, no haram chick fight or liberal feminism whatever, just a bunch of female humans trying to live their lives lol), written and produced by women after god knows how many years lol...

Wow I'm speechless 😭 wth is my propaganda source???? Yeah i have none i just said what i litteraly SEE in dramas every single day...i have no "news source" for that, it's my own observation as a media consumer of YEARS. lol
It's totally okay if you don't like female centric dramas and want to watch beautiful men but you're being in complete denial about women's mistreatment from media (not just china, every where in the world)and that is NOT OKAY. You're saying there are hundreds of those show out there but there is NOT. I don't even need to prove that, you can litterally do some math and see the ratio between male protagonists and female protagonis in like, 5 years or something and see that you're simply wrong. VERY WRONG. There are hundreds of women working in the field who have litterally talked about it and you're still in denial???
I don't even want a feminist drama, i do not want a drama about women fighting for equality and going through shit cause they're women, i get enough of that in my own life, i just want a drama with a female character who is more than "ML's love interest who gets saved by him and helps him when he needs it" but it doesn't happen. I just need women to play characters with more layers anf complexity, having more struggles than the male character. It is so unfair and sad that even when something this simple can't be achieved, people are taking stories written BY women ABOUT WOMEN and turning them into male centric????
If there were actually as many female centric shows as you said i would not even care about this but the problem is that there's litterally not...Calling women's mistreatment in media "propaganda" is like saying covid never existed and was imaginary WAKE UP PLEASE!!!

Oooh i have seen the still pics for that one and hell yeah they do! TY for this. Hope they give good creative artists opportunities

Holy shit??? Is this actually true????...As if women are already not mistreated by the cdrama industry, they are litterally robbing them off the few opportunities they get to be the protagonists and actually lead these shows??? Why don't they just go for male centric stories in first place??? This doesn't sound cool to me at all it's just beyond disgusting if it's true and i don't think female stans of male celebrities actually understand how messed up it for other women if they think this is a good thing....Like, it's so boldly misogynist since women do already not have enough decent job opportunities as men do in like, any field of proffession...lol

wth are the replies...ppl popping veins over THIS?? It's not even hateful or shady or anything??? some MDL users need to unclench and stop getting butthurt over grown rich celebrities getting criticized for the slightest bit...They would probably go mental if they were on weibo or sumn lol

The costuming in this one is CRUCIAL...they better make it as fun and unique as possible. WE DO NOT NEED BORING GENERIC SHT FOR SUCH SCRIPT!! if they don't hire a creative costume designer for this one they've already lost half of the game!! (Also, YM and BY would be so hot as foxes like???^&# good casting choice lol)

Men do NEVER EVER get the shit women (both the characters and the actresses themsleves) do from BOTH the industry AND the Asian drama fandom. It's so freaking funny when you see a female character in a drama that gets so much undeserved hatred for the most stupid things ever (including being an imperfect flawed human with personality) and ppl dfag about the male character in the show doing the EXACT.SAME.THING or having similar characteristics. And no one is like "Hey, let's stop trash talking women now and talk about how the industry is failing them"???!!!

Has anyone noticed that the characters have different animals associated with them in one set of the character posters?
WXS -> horse
BCF -> Crane (i guess it's a crane)
WR -> Swallow
LC -> white fox (? idk lmao)
SMZ -> Tiger
FYK -> Snake
I don't know if other characters have this kind of posters as well or not but i saw these and just noticed it lol

I respectfully disagree. WR popping up with her bright outfit in the middle of the forest with greyish green and dark/neutral tones can be a visual metaphor itself 🤷🏻‍♀️ She was supposed to bring light into the dark world from the beginning (yeah it might not have worked that well but it WAS the intention anyways) and the lack of change in her outfits' color pallets over time AND different occasions, which is in total contrast with the other characters, shows that she is the only one who has not "changed". WXS, LC, LM and pretty much everyone else experienced major changes in their ideologies and beliefs over time and that actually shows in how what they wear is gradually changing while WR is the only one who doesn't want to accept these changes and briefly talks about how she would still want to be the same even if the world collapses. That's the point.

Yup she is just closeted maybe

I get why you don't like the FL character but your comments about her are starting to get too much...you hate her for existing and breathing...the costum design in the show is pretty consistent. Male costumes are kinda boring
(not that they are supposed to be fancy, i know they're from a humble background. I just think there's not enough effort put into male costumes as women's. Very generic design) and not really great in my opinion but female garments from the colors to the structure reflect the characters personalities. WR wears bright colors cause that's her personality (idrc that much about her as a character tbh but absolutely LOVE her wardrobe. specially those two lil birds she usually has near her collar and all the cute puffy lace and fur in her customs. it fits her childish nature so well). And about makeup, pretty much every woman in the show is wearing...the same amount of it??? I was watching avenuex and she said the director is litteraly famous for making all female characters look really beautiful. I feel like you're being too biased there...Like okay she's not a really good character but she doesn't deserve this...

That one scene where WR went to see XY in the brothel for the first time had XY legit flirting with WR..I WAS SHIPPING THE GIRLIES LOL

It might be because i have never read the original text to begin with but aside from the messy, disrespectful and awful way the female characters are portrayed in here (yeah...the "I use r*pe to turn my female character into a monster and give people no time to sympathize with her" keeps getting WORSE and gets me even more mad as it goes on lol) i find the male characters' arcs and the way they're changing quite interesting. Maybe just me but whatever. I think it's cool.

Also, why do wuxia dramas have a thing for disabled villains and antagonists??? So weird...

I enjoy watching this show to some extent but the way the female characters are treated in it PISSES ME TF OFF...it's totally obvious the script is written by a middle aged man when the supposedly "main" female character has NO arc, NO struggle of her own, NO life of her own and plays NO part in the story rather than being a man's love interest and "helping" (not even helping tbh, women are not qualified enough to actually do shit in the world of martial arts in male wuxia writers eyes), "supporting" him (/them) and "cheering" him up when he's sad and down. And OH, let's talk about the SFL. The WORST way women are portrayed in media by men is when they write stories about a woman who gets r*ped and turns into an outrageous "monster", just for the sake of the PLOT (Shes probably gonna be the "downfall" of SMZ i just fcking KNOW and it feels offensive and disgusting...lol) without any parts of the storyline giving the audience a prespective of what hell of a trauma and mental struggle that woman is actually going through because of that experience to make us sympathize with her. Women are NEVER worth of sympathy in media while men can do any kind of hideous crime and be the most awful person to ever exist but throw a tragic backstory in there and fangirls will simp over him and excuse that.
I am mad because it happens on regular freaking basis. The female lead in dramas can litterally be a traffic actress and the ml's pr team can still change the script so much to the point that would make them have all the spotlight and the female characters look like extras. Women are MISTREATED in cdrama business and the mostly female fanbase is sadly always taking out their internalized misogyny anger on female characters and actresses who are written badly rather than seeing the truth that they are MISTREATED by the industry...this is the THIRD drama i watch this year where the female characters are done dirty like that...IN A ROW
