IKR, In a real situation, normal people would likely fight back and try to kill the guy at any cost. But how could she end up falling in love with him just out of sympathy? That’s just crazy.

Not now, but will. I don’t mind a "falling in love with the enemy" plot, but falling for someone who has tried to kill you multiple times and doesn’t hesitate to hurt you? That’s really not for me.
Most people are okay with it because the fact he’s the ML and the plot will create a romance story for them. If he were the SML, though, I bet people would be cursing the FL for her stupidity.

I couldn’t care less if he saves her in the next episode. The fact that he’s tried to kill and hurt her multiple times is disturbing. He’s the one putting her in such situation and even stabbed her shoulder once again, and now I’m supposed to feel happy he’s saving her? LOL.

I waited so long for this drama, only to drop it after 10 episodes. I just couldn't keep watching such an unconvincing plot. The ML repeatedly tries to kill and hurt the FL, and yet the story is setting her up to fall in love with him? It’s so disturbing.
There's nothing wrong with a revenge plot, but promoting such an abusive relationship in the process is just absurd.

Zhang Dada and Li Gengxi are super irritating. One always stirs trouble, while the other loves playing the victim. I have no idea why the production team even invited them. LGX doesn't bring any skills to the team except messing around.

Well, it's good that you've seen it, but I still haven't.
I've read the novel a few times, and honestly, WJY doesn't really match the JL described in the novel, at least in my opinion. But since it's Yu Mama's work, can't complain too much.

Age does affect how a character is portrayed. That's why some actresses stop playing teenage roles because they know they can't capture that youthful spark anymore. It's like when people complained about ZZY or CCE playing teenage princesses.

Anyway, if you don't agree, that's fine. Just move on. I'm not trying to force anyone to agree with my opinion. that's just how I feel. It's strange that people aren't allowed to have their own preferences anymore.

Ah let me continue then haha. I thought the plot is still far away.

yeah I'm still in ep 5

As expected, WXY is good at playing aloof and cold characters like XH. He closely matches the description of XH in the novel. It's just very unfortunate we can't see the chemistry between him and WJY. As the most beautiful lady in the capital, WJY doesn't quite fit the description. Having a 33-year-old portray a 17/18-year-old girl is a bit much.

And when it comes to the plot, there are some pretty big loopholes. In the novel, XFF dies and takes over JL's body, so no one questions her identity. But in the drama, she is still XFF, which is really questionable. How would she defend herself if someone from the Shen residence recognized her?

nah LYF and NN won't be in this movie, unless they decided to replace ZLY or YM.

Yeah and I call people like you ignorant and stupid. Have you even bothered to read the novel? JL is merely fifteen there. If the screenwriter intends to alter the story, her age should not exceed 20, as during that era, girls were typically married off before reaching that age. WJY's youthful spark has faded from her eyes long ago.

Yeah nothing wrong with that. It's just that some people in China are still sensitive about extramarital pregnancy lol. That's why when she admitted she had a baby, a lot of negative comments attacked her.

You mean ZR, who played YQ's character?
Gosh, that guy really doesn't have a talent for acting lol. He's currently in the variety show Memories Beyond Horizon S2 together with ZHHZ, also WZW (she is the one who admitted that the role she got in Legend of SL was recommended by ZLY).

Well I don't really bother myself with those messy things in the entertainment industry, as an audience I'll just grab a popcorn and watch their drama haha

Wait, KW and ZS are her close friends? never heard about that. I know her close friends are ZBC, HJ, XN, and SQ. But what's wrong with ZBC tho? I've never heard anything negative about her, except she had a daughter with HCY.

I can't decide anything since I'm really clueless about her personal life. I only follow actress and actor because of their drama.

It's hard for me to believe someone without strong backing like her could do something evil and still be appreciated by others and walking to the peak of her career.
It feels odd to me that she's attempting to sabotage someone else's career while also trying to recommend actors and actresses for roles?
With such a behaviour how could someone who's straightforward like NJ will give a face to her and even praise her hard work.

But yeah, this is entertainment industry anyway, you won't be stay in the top too long with a bad personality because good people get rewarded, while bad people face karma. As an audience I'll only enjoying their work.

Oh yeah, I know ZYM changed the role setting after hearing ZLY's opinion. I thought her opinion made sense because since the kid is mute, the mom could be mute too because mute and deaf can be hereditary and I think she's done pretty well in Article 20.

I've been following the Chinese entertainment industry for so long but never heard about her dirty stuff. Did she really do it herself, or just her crazy fans? I heard about her dispute with YM because of past things but I never heard about her with other actresses.
I just can't imagine a big star like her will pay people to do a black campaign against others.

But no matter what, YZ has been in the entertainment industry for twenty-plus years and has a lot of traffic. If ZYM really wants to collaborate with her, it will happen anyway in the future.

huh? ZLY can control such a big director like ZYM?

Yeah, he's done a lot of impeccable work in big hit dramas. I especially love his voice in Eternal Love, it suits Ye Hua's character so well.

Well not all actors/actresses excel at clear articulation, which is vital, particularly in costume dramas.
Given the characters are God and Prince, demanding a strong and charismatic voice, dubbing seems like a wise choice, as the original voices may not fully capture the essence of the characters.
Sometimes, dubbing turns out to be the better option than the original voice, like Dongfang Qing Cang, who was portrayed by WHD. It wouldn't have been as good if they had used his original voice.

as usual, the king of dubbing Bian Jiang, the one who dubbed Yu Wen Yue in PA as well haha

She's already spoken about it. She mentioned they tried both the original and dubbed versions, and they think the dubbed sound fits the character better than their original voices.

Well I'm not attempting to draw direct comparisons between them. Rather, I'm just pointing out that these two characters share similarities in their pursuit of revenge, given their painful pasts. XW's character is supposed to be rich with emotions, not hoping he can achieve the same level as WL did. However, what I had hoped for is that, since ZLH has reached a more complex character, I only hope he would have a better understanding of the character. I wish to see more of the sorrow and pain inside his eyes rather than just throwing side glances like a typical villain.
Yeah, I love PWX's character, and I'm hoping he'll do an awesome job with it this time around.
