I read somewhere yesterday that they will re-cast and re-film the male parts…but not official though…
I guess they have to make a thorough cost analysis to see if it is worth doing it. Now that's water under the bridge, but I wonder why they cast Kris Wu as the ML in this huge C-drama because he doesn't have much experience acting in drama series. Is it because he is an idol and socially popular?
It is a great pity this C-drama will not air anymore, unless the production company re-cast Kris Wu with another actor and re-filmed all the scenes of him - - just like the way the Korean drama "River Where the Moon Rises" where Kim Ji-Soo (due to bullying & sex scandal) was replaced with Na In-Woo, and the K-drama was much better after that. Off course, the difference here is that the Golden Hairpin has finished filming and was ready to air, etc., and it will cost a lot of money & effort to re-cast and re-film, but thinking of the amount of time & resources investments that goes into making this C-drama, it will be such a great waste to just abandon it. I hope the production company will make the right decision.
You are right. I also found it strange that she knew where to deliver the ransom money and where did she get the…
I think the emperor is annoyed at the FL for tricking him, and being a self-entitled emperor, he will probably bear a grudge towards her. That's because he was really interested in her when he saw her painting during the concubine selection. Hopefully he will not make any troubles for her in the future.
I like this drama but some scenes are off for example in one episode the third brother has gambling debt but she…
You are right. I also found it strange that she knew where to deliver the ransom money and where did she get the soldiers? At first I thought it was the 2nd brother returning to fight with his soldiers. But then, after the ML was rescued, no mention was made about all these incidents; the writers made the FL to be some kind of special lady with special connections to the underworld and military....LOL.... let's see if we get to see some flashbacks to explain all these weird scenes....
I really love this drama now. I have watched until episode 12, and I am astounded by the good production and directing, script writing & witty dialogues, great acting and beautiful exquisite costumes. All the actors and actresses did their part really well, no over-acting and lots of funny & sweet moments. Finally, I found a new historical/period drama to replace The Sword and Brocade drama (which was also great and I liked so much). At first, I did not like the actor playing the ML because he looked quite young paired with the FL, who looked slightly older than him. But after watching up to 3 episodes, I began to like him and I find him suitable in this role. He is playing the role of the spoilt and youngest son of a prominent wealthy family. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and his life is really easy. Perhaps that's why he looks young and immature. Also because this is his first time in love, he is enthusiastic, overly expressive and unrestrained in his love and adoration towards the FL … While the FL had a tough and difficult life growing up, losing her family suddenly and at a young age, had traumatic experience of seeing her mother's suicide, and then working hard in odd jobs just to survive; also perhaps she can't afford good skin care too....hahaha. Because of all these, she looks mature for her age. This is how I rationalize the pairing of the main couple in order to keep watching the show.... LOL.... In fact in real life, the ML is 1 year older than the FL. And I believe they have good and comfortable on-screen chemistry (although not fireworks) since they have worked together before in Arsenal Military Academy drama.
I loved the Day of Becoming You. I have watched Moonlight, and I find it to be Okay. I am waiting for Forever and Ever because they have my favourite actors. Since I don't like Dilraba, I will skip You Are My Glory. As for the rest, I will take a look to see if they suit my taste... LOL...
Seems that if an Asian actor acts in Hollywood, they have succeeded.... you are right, Hollywood is so-so nowadays. That's why I watch Korean, Chinese and Japanese movies & drama nowadays. I heard even Turkish dramas are getting better
I truly love the Australian TV detective drama Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (on Netflix), and I am going to watch this Chinese version to see if it will do Miss Fisher justice. Looking forward to this drama.
I just want to add something here guys... I don't think we can say Chinese gov is worse or better than that of…
I agree with you. When we watch dramas from every country around the world, we should appreciate the arts, people and production behind the dramas. Every government in the world is not perfect and we should not judge it based on what we hear and read from the social media. We should watch dramas for our own entertainment, and what is being shown on TV is mainly fiction (unless told differently). I will watch this Chinese drama for my favourite actors.
Lennon is such an adorable, cute and sweet boy. He acted really well in Unforgettable Love, and his smile is super addictive and contagious. I hope he will get more roles in the future.
I started watching this drama quite late (23 July 2021) and despite being aired in 2012, I find the story to be really nice and enjoyable. The main couple has great on-screen chemistry, and Peter Ho is one hot sexy guy. LOL.... the little girl is also really cute, and her acting is good too, despite her young age. One stark thing I noticed is that all the actors and actresses' skin tone and make-up looked natural and healthy-looking. Nowadays, I find the actors/actresses skin tones look overly white and super photo-shopped to be blemish-free.
I really loved this drama but I put the last 2 episodes on hold because I saw previews of them, and I don't have the heart to complete this drama.... LOL....
I watched 6 episodes, I can't get into this story. I loved the previous story in the series, Happiness Method...IT'S…
I agree with you about the bullying and physically hitting part of the drama. No matter if it was the FL does it to the ML, or the ML does it to the FL, it is physical abuse and it is not funny. If it was done in a light fun manner, it may look like siblings squabbles; perhaps it's OK. But from what I saw, it looks like it is heavy hitting. What is worst, the ML is not allowed to respond back, or it will be considered sexual harassment. I wish these East Asian dramas don't promote physical abuses of poor kind guys or ladies.
Off course, the difference here is that the Golden Hairpin has finished filming and was ready to air, etc., and it will cost a lot of money & effort to re-cast and re-film, but thinking of the amount of time & resources investments that goes into making this C-drama, it will be such a great waste to just abandon it.
