Aveira

let's just agree to disagree. Have a good day.

Read my comment again. I praised the FL excellent acting many times; it has nothing to do with her acting;
Visually speaking and I am not talking about the beauty of either actresses because they are both pretty....Physically she looks like a small teenager (when she stands next to the ML) and the age difference in this remake is extremely glaring when you see her next to the ML (that was not the case in the original version despite the huge age gap as well).
Once again she is an amazing actress but when I see them side by side the whole plot/storyline feels icky even though it is platonic; it is merely an opinion.
I am sorry if this feels harsh and I never really say critiques like this in dramas that I watch even if I have an issue with some of them but as I am watching this drama, it is just so glaring; the actress is pretty and she is a very good actress....let's say if her partner was maybe her only friend in this drama or steven zhang character ..I wouldnt say anything but when she is next to the ML it is so pronounced.
Also it has nothing to do with the age gap either because there are plenty of age gap dramas that I watched and liked on either end (older FL or Older ML) but yeah....

I just saw the trailer and whoever oversees censorship in China literally have favorites because how did it pass censorship ? (some dramas dont for even more tame things than that)LOL

I will be tuning in though...I watched the FL in other works and she is a great actress.

Does anyone has the english novel of this? I saw that it was an adaptation.

it is insane; both stories were trending on x the other day and yes it is 2 short c dramas.

Lol yeah I thought so as well. I just hope that we get a new melon for the drama that she will be filming next.

yeah usually C dramas that get popular this, we get to see so much materials even 1 or 2 month after it ended....but for this one; it just abruptly ended and we had to move on.
Oh well ,I am still wishing for that 2nd collab down the line.
Yeah I still see a lot of their videos on my timeline which I appreciate :).

It would be nice if Esther attends Weibo night on February 5th.

Ah ok but I wanted a source (link) for that melon. I dont think it is true at all.
Anyways, I kind of want him to do a costume drama next. I really liked him in everlasting longing with Angela Baby.

This is the norm in these Chinese short dramas; it is also very highly unregulated and I have heard stories about sometimes how even consent if iffy in these type of scenes for some of these dramas so idk. One of these short dramas went viral a few days ago for pairing a kid 12 or 13 FL with a ML in his 20s and one where a baby was literally soaked in one scene and didnt have proper care in the shooting with negligible pay too for the parents.
Because it is high key unregulated,....thats how they pass censorship; they are not judged on the same standards as regular c dramas.

Anyways, personally for me they are way too short per episode for my liking no matter how good the plot seems for some of them lol. It just makes me think that the plot is a mess.
I would rather have them release it as a movie instead.

I like blossoms of adversity but didnt care for the leads romance; they had no chemistry at all imo. I enjoyed the other lovelines in the drama more and the women of the HUA family stories.

I will forever curse IQYI for this;they deserve better especially given the huge international success that this drama had; Imagine if they at least attempted to promote it?
If Esther didn't take it on her hands to take so many behind the scenes pics plus tiktok videos of them when they were filming and did the few lives that they did , we would have been even more worse off.
It just seems like it ended as soon as it started....maybe that's 1 of the reason why so many people still miss it so much.
It seems like we didnt have enough time to properly enjoy and hype it.

The current drama he is filming being "equal billing" is obviously just in name; equal billing is supposed to mean equal screentime or about the same and that's obviously NOT the case here; January is about to end and he only filmed 3/5 days when the FL is filming everyday. At this rate , even the 2nd, 3rd ML are going to have more screentime than him. I have seen it happen in other dramas and other filming crews.
When time comes to promote the drama, they will obviously use him a lot to do so when his screentime as a ML is not that great.
The script apparently being from the FL company says it all.

A tale old as time.

Is there a link or source for this? I haven't seen this melon and isnt she in turmoil with her company so she can start shooting dramas now ?

This is the melon I have seen lately regarding him

🍉 #SongWeilong #ZhaoJinmai will have joint offline events and the platform is facilitating their second collaboration.

Cant believe that this show ended only a month ago....why does it feel like it was ages ago?

Not really watching any current dramas; I just do not find any of them interesting enough...despite some of the ones that I see people are "hyping".
I recently finished a drama that was on my to watch list for longest: Blossom of adversity and it was actually good.

I wished I would've created a weibo account when it used to be a little easier but now it's kind of difficult.

She needs to find the password of her Instagram password too 😅😅🤣

It will interesting to see what her February schedule will look like. Hopefully she'll attend some new year celebrations .
I want her to attend weibo night but I have a feeling that she won't.

She looks really great 🙂

Lovely pictures 🙂

Pretty 😍😍😍

Thanks for sharing 🙂
