yeah that's what I'm saying since he really likes these two...don't really trust his writing but can't lie and say I'm not down bad for cdl and jjy in a double fl drama where they have to do lots of queer looking things tgt lol

yeah it somehow sounds extremely fake and very possible at the same time lol

she doesn't even do the vampire makeup anymore 😭 what do they exactly not like about glossy nude lipstick and eyeliner lol just b!tching about EVERYTHING

is that rumor reliable or is it bs cause I'm seeing every melon acc post it...I'm simultaneously concerned (bc well gjm) and flabbergasted by the idea of cdl and kiku in a double fl drama lol

So the costumes in dramas like lbfad, lyst, or upcoming dramas like Legedn of rosy clouds, fssm love in pavilion and moonlight mystique look cheap and low quality??? As in the definition of low "quality" in design terms which mean bad tailoring and bad fabric choices?? The problem should be my eyesight I think...
but I don't think there's a point in arguing anymore since our opinions and taste is very different. At the end of the day I just hope pxr ends up looking gorgeous just like you :)

costumes from an 80s cdrama, as an example of why Chinese ppl themselves consider the minimalistic trend a downgrade

and btw fang sizhe gets backlash way more often than yxy...Moonlit reunion is the first drama of his costuming work I've seen that ppl actually like while they were cooking him to hell and back the moment fansites dropped leaks of MLC, TGCF, SOKP and even LAR 😭

well I'm a fashion girlie myself so here are my 2 cents on why I disagree:
1: Nope. Simple doesn't equal bad and minimalism is not a bad thing on itself. But you need to take Culture in consideration as well. Whay I said abt costumes in cdramas downgrading since mid 2010s isn't MY opinion only, it's litterally what cntez and chinese critics themselves have been talking about everyday. They ALWAYS compare xianxia snd historical styling and costumes to theirs 90s and 2000s dramas and dislike the minimalist trend and I think it's reasonable why??? Because minimalist aesthetics have just NEVER been a thing in historical context of china. You would grasp that especially if you compare Chinese historical costumes throughout the dynasties to their neighboring east Asian countries. Same thing goes for Chinese FANTASY and mythology. The visualisation of gods and goddesses and mythological creatures have pretty much always been extremely glamorous and extravagant so it just doesn't feel right when everything is simple siluettes and pastel colors with no texture and no dimension or even experimentation on all the extremely complex sweing and costume crafting techniques used in chinese historical fashion.

tbh fandoms just complain about yi xiaoya cause the dramas weren't good and they always want to yell at whoever working bts that's not their celebrity fave😭 like yeah her costumes look too similar in all shows and all , okay valid criticism; but even HER "repetitive" still looks miles bette r and more thought through that those ugly unflattering minimalistic costumes (boring colors, no texture, bad fabric choice) that had plagued cdramas since mid 2010s.

It's kind of a pr stunt itself lol some people think the platforms actually do it on purpose and sell them to people as "leaks" atp

girl it's really not that deep let it go

nobody wants tough we are at the age of loser babygirl princess male characters

I didn't mind the emperor in lltg but for me he couldn't really get me to forget the bitter taste the overall portrayal of women this show left in my mouth.
The problem is more in the hypocrisy and irony than the char writing itself. There are many idol dramas out there that don't have the greatest side char writing that I still enjoy bc the main leads' story is entertaining enough. But when you as a writer are constantly preaching feminism in your show and think you're creating such a women-empowerment masterpiece, yet every single fem char that's not the fmc is portrayed as the oldest and most sexist streotypes associated with women (dumb, materialistic, always jealous and bitter of other women, always obsessed with men in an unhinged way) I get PISSED OFF and can't simply just ignore and enjoy the nice things lol

It's not even about how "strong" the character is tbh...It's as simple as the fact that human beings naturally have very complicated emotions of their own that are related to themselves and the platonic relationship they have with ppl around them (including family and friends) and also interests that have 0 things to do with love that shape a thing called "personality" and that can be 10 times more interesting than any kind of typical FM ship if written right lol

not yet but it's pretty much guaranteed with traffic male celebrities lol

I'm sorry but I kind of hate the crazy itch some drama consumers have for a heterosexual ship to ALWAYS happen no matter what...yk women and men can have a platonic relationship right?? yk a woman not being in a romantic relationship with a dude doesn't mean she's heartless RIGHT???? Cheng xiao is likely not gonna have a love interest in fof and that is totally okay bc not every fem char needs a man attached to her for her story to be compelling and relevant! Hope that helped.

very likely to air in November

It's canon if the voices in my head say so
