suirennaa

but wasn't she known in china for her role here as wei lai and that stairs scene? she was even nominated on best supporting actress category for this role several times including the prestigious golden rooster award

also read somewhere that she did so well here that lots of entertainment agencies wanted to sign her but she eventually chose he song under li bingbing

i just started liking her so i'm kinda doing my research on her and her role on better days is always mentioned as what sets her start in the movie industry, reason why she's considered more of a movie actress than a drama one

my fave is when the lord's attendant realised that the pouch she's always been carrying around contains that medicine bottle. it's a significance of her love, that it is not unrequited all this time – that at some point, she had also fallen for him but had to conceal it.

i also cried with the attendant at that scene lol

omg! you get meee! you need to notice the little things as not everything is being laid out openly. THIS IS A LEGIT AN ART OF SUBTLETY. Hats off to the directors, really.

if you like these kinds of stuff and also happens to watch japanese animated films, i recommend watching the garden of words by makoto shinkai if you haven't yet.

hahah i hope you watched this while on vacation (i did), you just wanna know what's gonna happen next!

it's indeed a bit tricky like @koreanbosuji said tho i want to say you should not watch it with a focus on who will the female lead ends up with.

idk how to put it into words but the romance is subtle yet emphasize, it's beautifully shown in a somewhat poetic way. atleast that's how it is for me. romance is just a part tho, the storyline delves more about life.

agreed. being offered with costume drama roles also means that directors and producers sees her potential value in high regards. i also love how balanced her work career is as she also keeps taking film projects simultaneously with dramas. film actors are deemed 'well-respected' and has serious acting abilities than drama actors by the general public in china and if her studio keeps this on, her steady rise and career longevity is undoubted. rooting for her.

forget that rumored drama, her team just confirmed that negotiations are for costume drama and film projects

zhou ye is dashingly handsome and my heart actually fluttered lol

she shared that she has a movie and drama to film before going on a holiday and travel

not sure if she's referring to 'kill me'. as for the drama, the recent rumor i know is her starring in 'peach branch bubbles'

probably one of the dramas with the best execution for this type of plot. i believe it was perfect but could go beyond if only regression isn't banned in china. my first historical chinese drama with no skip/fast forward scenes, i really stayed for that plot.

y'all should watch their promo interviews, zhou ye and lin yi are so chaotic lol i hope these visual besties get another romcom drama together

zhou ye and lin yi mentioned a bed scene in the interview, you can only see a glimpse of it on a bts and it was not aired. some kissing scenes were cut as well unfortunately. idk if the reason is due to censorship.

reminds me of the hours of my life by miura haruma and mikako tabe, i cried buckets of tears on this. i miss miura :(

okay. i hope you wishing zmy well is genuine because it seems that to you, no one else can top zls and her dramas. i brought up gen z and hu tong as some of her dramas that were not well received by the public, i did not compare, perhaps you miscomprehend as i just set an example that zls ALSO has dramas with underwhelming performances (even some of zls fans admit this). gen z, for one, may have won an award as you said but this can't change the fact that the public don't really like it and was heavily criticised for wrong portrayal of chinese medicine.

i greatly like zls in love like the galaxy but was not able to do the same on her other dramas for various reasons, actors and actresses can't really have an all good drama list throughout their careers as it's inevitable to have bad ones due to lots of factors. no one can be the best at everything and not everyone who criticise a drama is a hater, this is such a fanatic mindset.

there are several chinese dramas being released and zmy is just starting to get lead roles in decent productions, she can be considered as a newbie tbh and it is understandable that her works will not be as popular. china has lots of actors and actresses and it should be acknowledged that even the 'famous' ones like zls have dramas that did not do well in china – gen z and hu tong for example - if you're gonna say that this certain actress's dramas flopped. otherwise, it will just sound as blatant bias.

p.s. ratings on youku and iqiyi can be unreliable as it is said that these can be bought, fans can also affect the scoring even in douban

nvm seems like she is gonna play sang zhi, from the looks of these new photos with sang yan.

this is what i was thinking, too! female lead's best friend has this chaotic energy which would also suits zmy and from the pictures here, it seems that zmy is mostly filming in solo frame or with wen yifan.

agreed. first frost is also one of my fave modern novels. it has well-written characters, story is lighthearted with depth.

it's safe to say that his hidden love personality is exclusive to sang zhi and his family. he's distant, nonchalant and quite arrogant generally – readers probably hated him at first because of how he treats the female lead but later on, you'll realise that he's actually a softy deep down.

i don't get the hateful words against an actress, i get you're a fan of zls but you don't have to step down on other actresses to put her high on the pedestal. saying zls haters made wifty known is so wrong, lots of people like it because it just had that good vibes.
