Aveira

SOKP is her 2nd drama I watched since Arsenal Military Academy and she killed it. Great actress ...she did really well. Glad that SOKP was/is extremely successful because it is literally going down in my top 5 best C historical dramas of all time...that's how much I loved it.

I am really looking forward to ABAY next year. His collaboration with my all time favorite Chinese Actress Seven Tan is like a dream for me. I like Tian Xi Wei as an actress ( I have seen 2 of her dramas and I like her acting ) ; she is a very promising young actress so them collaborating for his next project is exciting but the plot of that drama doesnt sound too exciting to me honestly. I will still give it a try. Not a big fan of Yang Zi so I will probably skip Story of Joy. I will watch his drama with Esther though since I do like her as a person. Thankfully because he is so booked and busy, I have these variety of choices of what to watch with his works lol. Happy that WOL did well and that he ended the year on a high note.

I feel like I have watched too many C dramas historicals lol because I saw this coming from a mile away. I knew that she would end up being a concubine and all of the things that he promised her would be moot. Ughhh so embarrassing . Life as a concubine in these times was hell; that wedding ceremony when everyone is attending the legal wife wedding and all the concubines are waiting in their chambers to see if they will be even " lucky" if their " husband" visit them....ughhh...no wonder they were killing each other and doing all types of crazy things for favors or to survive.

Where is that discussion section? I keep seeing some people mentioning it here.

Now don't get me wrong I want it now as well ; in fact it's 1 of my most anticipated C drama in years mostly because I'm a fan of them both and always wanted them to collaborate but I am just thinking that timing wise releasing it now is not great. His other drama just finished airing, he is about to start filming either at the end of this month or next month, Seven is still filming and won't be done until next month. We won't get that much promo if it's released now, that's my thinking. I feel like it's best to release it next year.

When was drama supposed to air?

I wished she would do more period dramas just because I like them ( and thinks she's great in them) but she doesn't care too much about becoming a traffic star; in fact, she goes out of her way to not become one even though her dramas are always very popular and well received.

No I'm not from China but I follow a few of her fanbases that post stats about the drama daily so that's how I know how it's doing. OMG and all her previous co stars who supported her for the movie. Notably 1 of my favorites Song Wei Long ( my Go Ahead heart is so happy that they're still close), Zheng ye Cheng too....they were many others too but I like these 2 out of the ones that were mentioned lol. Btw the movie crossed 100 million yesterday 🎉🎉🎉. Yup great , great reviews.

Omg they have kids in the drama? Because there's a cute pic floating around of Han Ting with his mini me. How cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I keep seeing many people say this. Hope we will see all these hot scenes in the drama lol. You just never know with some of these directors and scriptwriters. Either way I'm really excited to watch it 🎉🎉🎉

Another reason why I didn't even want to read the novel beforehand because I want to be pleasantly surprised.. I've noticed that a lot of people who read some drama novels beforehand seems to be somehow disappointed with the drama because sometimes scriptwriters make a lot of changes. I do hope that there won't be too many changes with ABAY.

I saw rumours that it'll air at the end of December? Once again I hope they are nothing but rumours. Idk what's up with the need to air it so soon. March/ April seems to be the perfect timing to air it. Once again I hope we at least get a reality show or something.....I hope Tencent doesn't drop the ball on really promoting it.

What do you mean by take the spot? Air when that other drama was supposed to air?

Towards the end. From episode 32... but trust me it's worth it

His popularity already skyrocketing imo. I keep seeing some milestones that both broke online. I know that Journey to you was 4 and SOKP 10 for most popular IQYI dramas of the year from the list they released a few days ago. I do hope to see him in a modern drama next though. I also hope that he keeps taking different roles and that he is not typecasted like some popular C actors are.

I feel like some people who are hardcore ZZ supporters or who wanted him to end up with FL mostly do so because he seems to be "the good guy ", morally upright type of man, .....I'm sorry but people like him in ancient times would get themselves or their loved ones killed with their morally upright nature. I've watched too many historical dramas to know that. You couldn't survive long term with that type of personality no matter how "good" technically you're.

I don't agree. I really don't think she ever loved him, the SML . It always felt like guilt or he's the "best guy on paper"so I should be with him. We are all entitled to our opinions but I don't understand people thinking that she settled with the ML. Her feelings with ZZ always felt like making it up to him for what she did in the past.. how is that love? Also with her character, personality, moral compass it doesn't make sense for her to end with him anyways.

Such a beautiful episode . I miss this couple so much♥️♥️♥️. Hope ZLH and Bailu reunite in the future in another drama 🤞🤞

Ughh I know. Such a well written character and well played by the actor too. As much as I would have wanted to see him find his own happiness, I'm glad that they didn't go the lazy route that I've seen a lot of dramas do...where they suddenly get these types of characters a love interest out of nowhere and this deep love he had for the FL suddenly disappear. The portrayal of this character in that sense was so realistic. In real life, we don't always end up with people we love no matter how" good "we may be for them . At the end of the day, XW was more suitable for the FL. I feel bad for Yan Li...ughhhh but it's what it is.

It's going down in my top 5 of fave Chinese historical dramas ever. I have watched quite a lot of these types of dramas. That's how much I loved it. I usually don't mind intense political dramas as long as they are well done and this one was. So glad to finish the year on a bang with such an amazing drama 🎉🎉🎉
