Y’all Zhao Wu Nian is so beautiful in the latest clips omg I can’t breathe
😭😭😭😭

Peng Xiao Ran. She played Xiao Feng. Something about her performance really stuck with me and I’ve been following her ever since because she really does get better with each role. She’s not had much luck with scripts or productions but I can ignore all of that to watch her characters alone.

I think the charm of older dramas is that there was still a sense of craftsmanship or artistry even though the dramas were products too. Now it’s just pure products, often fuelled by the fan economy rather than a wish to make art. There’s also the issue of censorship. Quite a few themes have been banned or restricted. For example, a morally grey character like LCY might not be allowed to be the main character nowadays.

Princess Agents should be a cautionary tale. I didn’t hear a single good thing about it on Weibo when it aired. It was either being ridiculed or criticised, or sometimes both.

2019 seemed to be the last grand stand for well made idol dramas (which is the Cdrama genre I like most). It’s been really hit or miss since then. I feel like dramas can’t find the right combo of actor, director, script, and production-something always falls short. I really loved Cdramas when I first started watching them and would watch them all but now I basically follow for 1 person. If they ever stop acting, I’ll probably stop watching Cdramas altogether.

This. No shade to whoever He Yu is but there’s too many elements that came together perfectly for this drama. I’ve been watching Cdramas for years and I have yet to find a newer drama that can touch GBMP. Plus drama fans would tear the remake’s actors apart. They already tear apart anyone who comes close to it in either costume, characterisation, plot, or theme.

Because they were only rumors. They were never confirmed or filmed shows.

The crown is absolutely gorgeous. The fan who said it was the most beautiful crown wasn’t lying. It’s really amazing in the BTS Live Photo posted.

If the later shots are actual drama footage, I’m excited! Xiao Ran looks gorgeous 🤩

I don’t think she’s acting in this and even if she does, it will probably be a small role like a cameo.

I really want to watch this for Mimi. Yang Mi’s aloof and queenly aura was absolutely perfect when she played Bai Qian🥹

You mean which platform it will air on? Not yet.

Official materials will be released on Aug 2nd.

🥹So beautiful. So ruthless. So emotionally conflicted. That natural arrogance and oppressive aura😭There is no meal replacement for Xiao Ran! She must keep acting until she’s 80!🙏
