I felt this difference in lead ckts vibe from s1:- ShenYi- He looked depressed n serious kinda in s1, probably becos he was a loner n had a huge block on his head becos of forgetting the woman's face n kinda blamed himself for being the reason Li Yi fie died n he even wasn't able to remember anything. So now when that case has been solved n he got frnds n company n joy of saving more people by solving cases, in this season he looks cheerful, not gloomy and not depressed.
Du Cheng: He looks carefree n less strict. In s1 he was kinda aggressive n very active, maybe becos he lost his mentor n wasn't able to solve the case which made him like that, so now the case has been solved, he has healed so this season he looked laid back n less aggressive or proactive. In short this season both leads have healed vibes than previous season. Now they don't carry the trauma or burden of their own life n r jst looking ordinary police jst doing work of case solving. Idk if it's intentional or directing change which made it look like this, But this is the difference i felt n probable reason I came up with to justify the slight change in vibe of the main leads I saw 😅
Watched the first two eps and wanted to post my general thoughts about them. I know the writers changed, but that…
Becos director n screenwriter both r changed so obviously that much difference will b there for everything. Some would like this better some last season more. At the end to each its own.
OMG touchwood! The first 4 episodes were so good! Lived upto my expectations n plus it fulfilled what lacked in season 1 for me, s1 lacked in emotions as in I was unable to connect or feel for any case much, but here the second case made me so emotional😭 I wanted them to leave that guy free as he jst wanted to protect the kid, why was he arrested😭 n the scene where the kid hugged the guy crying n asked "where have you been" it was soooo heartbreaking n emotional. I almost cried 😭 this was what I wanted from this show. Hope the remaining cases r more good with similar touch of emotions! 🤞
I most scared of over promotions n overhype of dramas, becos then the expectations r more n chances of disappointment r more too. I hope it lives upto the expectations. Becos I see the director n screenwriter both don't have hit or good dramas in their CV. Here's to hoping n wishing the best for this drama! 🤞
If wishes were horses, i so badly would want to make a high budget n better version of Korean drama "kill me heal me" n cast JCT in it! There can be no other better choice for playing all the personalities n specially shin segi than him! 🫠 Nothing just today's concert look reminded me of my long lost dream. I knw there is already a very cheap Chinese version of that drama. But a woman can dream.
It hasn't been announced, afaik. I saw a RUMOR that he may be doing a movie called Deafening.
He can finish that n immediately join this one too. Let's see. Till the confirmed news of drama starting to film n actors in it doesn't release , we can only wish or speculate. I jst want JCT to start filming some good costume drama asap😭 want to see his reuters like I see of other's making me feel jealous:(

Yes the drama which is going to be adapted from the novel "rebirth of malicious empress" which is by same author of the double drama. It's FL centric drama like the double so it's not likely JCT will take it but the ML described in the novel fits JCT to the tee😭 I m reading that novel n imagining him only as the ML becos I know it won't happen in reality, so one can jst imagine/dream😓.
I jst started reading this novel n I feel most people r jst being uselessly worried about such a big novel getting adapted in 36 episodes drama, becos as far as I have read I feel most of the novel words r jst describing people, the setup, the getup n all which covers most part of the chapters, so it isn't a big thing becos I felt 10 chapters can be shown in jst 1 or 1 n half episode itself becos its mostly describing the authors view abt how the people/setup/ getup should look like. Drama doesn't need to show or describe that word by word. So it's not a prblm. Like I have read abt 35 chapters n feel all the events so far can b shown in jst 2 or 3 episodes at most. Also about casting discussion here, I don't think young actress is only needed to act as 16-17 yrs(that's wat they would show her age in drama actually not 14yrs) becos in novel she had kids who were 16-17 yrs n so she should look like the mother of those big children even wen she does makeup or is reborn as teenage herself should have motherly aura becos in novel the fl even after reborn keeps thinking abt her children while looking at other kids of that age n I don't think a young actress would b able to bring that motherly aura for grownup kids. So I can only think actress like zhao liying would suit this role as she looks young but can have motherly aura too. I m not saying it's only her I can think should be casted, becos I have very less knowledge of actress in china but I feel like a 30+ actress who doesn't look like her age bt young, can carry an aura of an adult n mother of grownups should b casted.
Yes, becos Under the skin 2 will b releasing soon n no two dramas of same artist can air at same time.
I don't think it happens now. How would it look like anyway? jCT ckt competing with another JCT ckt🤣 n whom should JCT promote wholeheartedly? If he promotes both equally there will still be PPL thinking he is being biased to one drama. N would put him in a fix🤣 that's not wat any actor or platform would want.
Oh so I saw that brocade odessey drama having the same 2nd ML with lawsuit, his face will be replaced with AI😵💫 n so that drama will b airing from 30 nov. So this means if LHF team needs to air this drama, they also need to replace his face with AI, only then can this drama be released too.
Furong is awesome. yeah i thought it's hard to get SML syndrome with Mofo
Ok I get it, u hate him, then good for you. U don't need to impose that hatred for him on me, becos then it would jst b like fu sheng imposing his hatred for everyone on mofeng 🤣

He himself wasn't bad, knew loyalty n loved shenli truly, bt was manipulated n possessed still tried to control himself frm getting possessed. He jst had bad luck to b born as lumings son. I pitied him so it wasn't hard for me to develop sml syndrome n specially becos ML wasnt styled properly he looked too old for shenli, except when he wore fusheng sects black costume.
ShenYi- He looked depressed n serious kinda in s1, probably becos he was a loner n had a huge block on his head becos of forgetting the woman's face n kinda blamed himself for being the reason Li Yi fie died n he even wasn't able to remember anything.
