These two had really great chemistry but the show basically cut most of those scenes and only released some tidbits. The chemistry in those tidbits was so good that they built most of the hype😂. But when it aired those scenes were gone. I think it was to make it safe for TV airing but it dulls the effect. For example, the kiss under the tree was actually two successive kisses that were super cute with Jiman coming away the first time sort of crossed eyed by it and NYX unable to resist such a cute expression and kissing her again but was cut into one blander kiss.

Actors generally do but actresses usually don’t. They may have a show that makes them a hit but it’s usually after a series of shows or to maintain it, they have to produce more hits/popular shows.

Catch some tidbits of Xiao Ran’s martial arts training and her interactions with the little dog in the show.

I feel like I’m going to like Cangcang a lot.🥹

Popularity for actresses doesn’t work that way. They generally have to have series of successful shows. Tbh a lot of the actresses that are bigger names have been in a lot of dramas. Xiao Ran has only been in around 5. Lucky for her though is the fact that she has a well liked classic character so she has been able to stay in the public eye. Now that she has Huamei under her belt too, she also has a successful main theme drama too so she’s hopefully opened up avenues to different and better type dramas in the future.

For those new to and/or curious about Xiao Ran and her previous work, below are some links:

It just opened. There won’t be a trailer for some time.

Cdrama casting has been getting better lately. Hopefully, casting will follow talent more in the future.

Haha, the atmosphere for the booting ceremony was so lively! Everyone was so happy and complimentary and basically just falling in love😂 Seeing the stylist team, I’m intrigued. I think it’s supposed to be a relatively solid one. I know Fang Sizhe is involved.

It’s because she started much later than other actresses and then had no one to back her for several years and basically had to wait for the results of GBMP and subsequent shows in order to get more work.

This! It’s really troublesome tbh.

Booting ceremony launched today. She’s really gorgeous and seems to suit the styling team’s styling. I posted links of some of the Reuters up ahead.

It’s finally been officially announced 🥳🥳🥳

She’s actually been filming nonstop since February of last year but this her first heroine drama is a while. I felt she was waiting for better quality scripts/ drama/ teams until she got one.

She’s a gorgeous mix of beautiful , dignified, and sweet from the Reuters🥹

Congrats to Xiao Ran for unlocking the new character, Ling Cang Cang.
