TheMoonEmpress

Any drama is fine at this point. I feel like her resources, or lack thereof, are really holding her back.

She has been getting a lot of magazine shoots. And while I'm happy for her for that, I really want to see her get signed for a new drama as female lead.

Yes this is the first time it's so obvious to me that an actress had work done. Her nose and mouth looks so different. She was definitely prettier in moon lovers and in her SNSD music videos.

She is unrecognisable. She has done so much stuff to face OMG, she doesn't even look the same anymore as her pfp or even when she was in moon lovers

To each their own I guess. For me, the plot started out great but quickly devolved into any generic romcom with a meandering plot that kept looping in their domestic life. The deaths of the villains were funnily written and directed, the characters were inconsistent in their motivations and the politics was laughable. The acting was okay but the FL's acting did not work for me. The best thing about the drama was its styling, makeup and hair because they all look beautiful in it.

I hope this is better than TPOB , that drama had a lot of plotholes.

Why? Did something happen?

When will we she finish shooting this variety show? I really want to see her as a lead in a good drama with a good ML.

Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, Love and Destiny, A moment but forever (the screenwriter for LAD and AMBF are the same as Feud, which baffles me because the level of philosophical commentary and debates she has posed in both the dramas is such a big contrast to dramas like Feud) , LBFAD (although I dropped that dramas since I couldn't stand the overly forced cuteness and high pitched baby voice of the FL, the logic for all their actions and motivations of the characters was quite solid at the script level), Chinese Paladin, etc.
When I say logic, I don't mean that the fantasy aspect should be compromised. In essence, flying out of nowhere or conjuring a weapon out of nowhere, that's all par for the course for xianxia. But the logic of the flow of events, from reason to thought to action, should definitely be there. Like why a character is feeling/doing as they are or something is being done to them by other characters/environment. All of this should be explained at the script/direction/performance level. In a way that's showing us, not telling us.

I have seen a similar comment about "xianxias being meant to be illogical" somewhere down there, and I beg to differ. Even though they're technically "fantasy", they're still governed by basic logic of interactions, characterization, motivation and reason. There are so many xianxia dramas that follow this logic and also give us great philosophical commentary about the gods, mortals and the heavenly realm. That is how it should be, I think we should not be so quick to forgive illogical plots just because it's a xianxia drama. Reason and causality should be even more important in xianxia dramas as they deal with gods and morality and what is right and wrong.

So true!! I can't wait, dearth of good dramas now for sure. I just want a good story with a garnish of good romance. Is that too much to ask? 🥲

Hehe good to see you here too. I remember your humourous comments kept me entertained on TPOB page too (although I dropped that mess at ep 21 and haven't been there since). I think I will be dropping this one too but I do enjoy your fun comments hehe.

Exactly, 25% of 32 (total episodes of the drama) is 8. 💀

Even in xianxia , the basic logic that governs human interactions, motivation and order (chronology) of thoughts and actions , have to be maintained.

Yes earlier they also did not have good resources and had to play sfl or very obscure dramas. But now they're moving forward with their career. It does depend on backing but it's also something a decently good agency can manage, especially when HYX herself always gets good praises for her acting. There are many like Li Vanda, like Bao Sheng En and Zhang Miao Yi.... they're getting great scripts inspite of being quite new.

True , other actresses who also don't have good resources and backing or great agencies, even they spent many years playing sfl or tfl but now they're getting good lead roles with really good ML's too, like Dai Lu Wa or Xu Rou Han. HYX is not progressing but actually regressing. From FL to SFL to TFL and now to Guest roles in Glory, Rebirth and Hidden Shadow. This agency is so useless, they don't even understand the basics of promoting their artist

True there are so many young and kind of mediocre actresses who are getting scripts for very high budget and high profile dramas even without a lot of experience. It's mind boggling

She debuted in 2017 I think and generally these contracts tend to be of 10 years period. Don't know what will happen, I hope she gets good work going forward.

So what is her current work?

She is filming something according to her weibo but I don't think it's a new drama, she is wearing a mic ....could be a variety show or some special
