Yes, i think the same way, this is the most effectively way, as i didn`t heard the drama is preproduced. It`s less costly than having another actor replace the character of On Dal.. They will probably kill off the character of On Dal and make her end`up with the general or alone. I liked the chemistry the general has with Hae Mo Yong, but they wouldn`t have probably went in that direction with them too.

Yes, i don`t think is possible too at this point, as you said they have already filmed most of the eps. I think they will get the other actors to film more scenes, and increase the scenes of the second ML and FL. I`m so sorry for Kim So Hyun, the majority of her scenes are with Ji Soo. Damn, they should have delayed filming the drama for a few months and tried to fit the schedule of Kang Ha Neul, i was sad when i read that he couldn`t join the drama as the first male lead.

Yes, for me too, i was planning to watch the drama for the second male lead and second female lead, i don`t usually enjoy watching characters like On Dal and Pyeong Gang , but i like Kim So Hyun so i didn`t bothered me that much. But this have to happen now, i can only hope the drama won`t be pulled from airing, the allegationd against Jisoo are really severe, and more and more people start to accuse him.
I prefere to watch kdrama that has uncoventional story and characters, with complex characters, not being bad completely but not having an entirely good character. Damn, and it was more than five years than a historical kdrama catch my eye.

Yes, i watch`it already, that`s why i said is my favorite, my opinion is that the drama To my star, is the best bl kdrama made until now, finally something that was better than WYEL, not wonder it was the same director that surpassed herself after all. The only bl kdrama that i didn`t have the time to check`up is You make me dance.

Oh, i see now, ZZH has a really good voice. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I will delete my post, as to not confuse others.

Yes, To my star is my favorite too until now, they really nailed everything with this drama, not wonder it was from the same director as WYEL, who is my second best until now. The new kdrama You make me dance looks good from the trailer, but i didn`t have the time to watch`it yet. And it has to wait, because my priorities now are WOH and We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd that is airing the first episode of part 2 of this series this friday, i don`t have the time for anything else.

I was just writing about this too, because i tought she didn`t know of all recent releases, and i wanted to tell her that things are changing in a very good direction on Korea too. I think To my star is a really good drama, the best until now, they really did push themselves more for this drama, and the drama You Make Me Dance that just aired looks promising.

South Korea did started making a lot bl webseries, starting from 2020, and is the beginning of March and they released two other dramas already. The webseries started having a duration of 10 minutes, and they now have some dramas that has 15-20 minutes, for a total of 8-10 eps.
The best are named To my star and Where your eyes linger
Other bls made are You make me dance, Mr. heart, Wish You: Your Melody From My Heart, Color Rush.
The quality of the bl dramas in Korea keep improving too and they become really daring with kisses . To my star is a really good drama, it has everything, even through an episode is about 15- 18 minutes in average.
Things are really starting to change in Korea too.

Someone answered the question, it`s within the first posts on the page.
It was supposed to be Mao Zi Jun (茅子俊) as ZZS and Li Dai Kun (李岱昆) as WKX. Although Li Dai Kun is not the lead, we can still see him as the Scorpion King (蝎王), which is the role Gong Jun originally auditioned for.

I was curious too. I really think the actor Li Dai Kun is perfect as the Scorpion King, he exudes charm, sex appeal and it`s very attractive. I noticed his character from when the trailer was released, as being very interesting. I think as Wen Kexing, he would have done a better job than Simon Gong at portraying the dark and ruthless part of the character, but for the life of me i can`t picturing him doing all the flirting scenes nearly as good as Simon Gong. He is doing an amazing job as the Scorpion King, i loved him in ep 6. If the drama get`s very popular, he will be start getting more main roles, i think he is at good at acting as ZZH and Simon Gong, he overshadows everyone when the camera focus on him.

I didn`t realised it was sung by Simon Gong and Zhang Zhe Han, silly me. They had the actors sing a song for Guardian an Untamed too. I just immediately checked the song again, and as expected i recognized the voices. In the other dramas i realized this late as well, hehhe, i`m embarassed. Thank you for illuminating me.

That`s sad, why is with China trying to change the story in the dramas based on novels. I know they do this to all dramas not only to danmei adaptations. But i really don`t understand why they don`t try to keep the most important things from the novel, the risk for viewers to feel disconnected with what is happening is too high when things are changed to much, for exemple Legend of Fei. When the drama changes the essential events and personality of the characters are changed might as well not buy the rights of the novel and promote the drama as being adapted from a novel. The reason that novel has the success he had is because he was writed the way he was, with the characters and events connected as was described. The potential of a drama to become successfull by being adapted is having the premise that the script will be as similar as it can with what happens in the novel. That`s the reason Untamed gained attention and was succesful and why Word of honor has been well received, and Guardian didn`t become more succesful as he should (this was not the fault of the crew entirely, but if maybe the staff was more careful, the government wouldn`t have intervened. It`s funny to see how Japan try to bring to life their novels, manga in their dramas/movies, they make`it as faithful as possible, to the point some scenes are ridiculous, illogical, but almost identical to the source material, and China does the opposite.
For this drama, i still think they didn`t change the lead characters personality and how they meet and the dynamic between them, but mostly the cases and the drama will probably be more bromance-like and it will be more hard to spot the moment the relationship between them change. I`m telling you this after i read the chapters of the novel that was translated until now, read some reviews of what it happens in the novel and connected`it with what is presented in the trailer that was released. The two main actors are handsome has good chemistry too, and are charming as the characters they are portraying.

Yes, it will be a censored bromance or danmei adaptation drama like Untamed , Word of honor and upcoming adaptations that are going to be released this year. The bl novel that the drama is based is named The Mystery of Zhang Gong author Da Feng Gua Guo. If you want to read the novel, that just started to be translated recently, you can find`it in the discussion thread.
The date of when it will be aired was not announced but the trailer was released, so it`s more likely it will be released this year, but you never know with chinese dramas.

From what i know the drama didn`t sold the rights for any other platform, being Viki or Wetv. I think they want all the viewers to see the drama on their own platform: they have their own website named v.youku.com where they release the eps unsubbed and the youku youtube channel where they release the eps subbed for the international fans. If they have their own website and provide their own subs, i don`t see why at the moment the drama airs they would need to have the drama airing on other platforms, it will be disadvantageous to them. I think is possible for youku to have the drama be released on viki or wetv but only after it finished being airing.

You can watch`it here with eng subtitles. The subs are not perfect, but i couldn`t find any better than this. In the end it do helps at lot that watching without sub.

Yes, i took a look at the works he had done, it`s mostly movies, a lot of movies compared to the few dramas.. It`s possible if he really will helmet this drama, many things will change, possible the cast too. But maybe he will the one of the directors, i saw some dramas has two, ever three directors who work together.

Yes. For what i observed the other websites are adding the subs after the eps are subbed by youku, so they are using the subs from youku as well.

He is watching'it unsubbed or raw., on youku website or other sites that have the eps released. The eps in youtube channel are in updated more slower than the eps released. The ep indicated by the countdown is the more recent released.
