I have to explain: Gu Qingzhi and Shen Xihe do not look alike. In the novel it is described that Xiao Changqing could see his wife's shadow in Shen Xihe. They have similar aura and personality. So similar that it makes Xiao Changqing comes up with a theory that his wife's soul possesses Shen Xihe's body.
Furthermore, if both ladies look similar, then those who had interactions with Gu Qingzhi would have heart attack when seeing Shen Xihe. But they don't.
I could understand why Meng Ziyi's fans are angry. I honestly think she doesn't have to play as Gu Qingzhi as well. However, the rumors about "newcomer", "using MZY's popularity", "secret filming", and "Gu Qingzhi will have 30% portions from the whole drama" make me annoyed as well. The fans have calmed down though. But we have to monitor the progress.
I have vip on wetv so I randomly watch this and variety shows while waiting for my waiting list to air.
My biggest problem is all the good characters are so weak and powerless. They can't even kill pathetically weak trash 😒 They could, but they don't, just because... I'm on ep 16 and I need to boost my patience gauge. Sadly, none of the characters attract me. Perhaps I should just drop this? Seems like this drama is not for me...
Apparently this Gu Qingzhi will not appear just as flashbacks or brief appearance, but covers 30% of the whole drama! However, Meng Ziyi's side has confirmed that she will play as Gu Qingzhi as well.
p.s the last paragraph of the article is so misleading. Don't take it seriously.
Does anyone know if the rumors about Gu Qingzhi being played a new comer actress is true ?? It’s kinda strange…
Yes I just read this rumors on weibo. If this is true, then the director is really problematic. He uses the same method with In Blossom. You see, they didn't even release materials on 5.20...
Indeed, Xiao Huayong and Gu Qingzhi have ZERO interaction. So even if the crew really use another actress, there's no problem if it only for flashbacks.
The reason why MZY's fans are angry: 1. The crew were caught secretly filming at night, seemingly to shoot Gu Qingzhi. Why they have to be secretive, as if hiding something? 2. There was no official announcement about who will play as Gu Qingzhi, so the sudden addition aroused credibility of the crew. 3. The crew is using MZY's fame for this newcomer.
Her fans wanted confirmation. Then, I also read that it is confirmed that MZY plays both Gu Qingzhi and Shen Xihe.
Quan Yilun my baby! ❤ this is the first time ever I watch a drama for the actor, not for my fav actress 🤭 Love that this has at least 3 couples. Also the capital city's F4 is surely a group of eye candies, though Liu Mo is also good looking.
p.s Dai Luwa and Bai Shu should get their own drama. How many times they reunited, bro?
I decided to watch this bcos of the high rating and quite good reviews below. However after 22 episodes, I just can't like it. 1. The FL keeps deceiving, tricking and lying to ML until some point. 2. The ML is so dumb and willing to disregard everything if it concerns about FL as if he throws away his brain. 3. Here we go again with the obsessive delusional denial SML plot. 4. This is not about a married couple and their marriage life. It is about 2 people from opposite armies meet and fall in love during war. Yet they still have time for romance despite being in critical situations. Hello???? Don't you have duties??? ML surely loves wasting his time to sneak out to meet FL.
Where do you think is good to stop? I want to watch the drama but I don't want to ruin my experience thanks to…
Actually you can still watch it until the last episode. You can stop on the scene where they are watching snow together OR where they have dinner together with the whole gang. Although the dinner will leave a bad taste due to how gloomy the atmosphere is... Personally I will stop at the snow scene.
No. This is actually the prequel. Fox Spirit Matchmaker is a trilogy:1. Love in Pavilion2. Sword and Beloved3.…
Yes Red Moon Pact is a mess. However it concludes the story of Fox Spirit Matchmaker. If you happen to be curious, you can just watch the last 3-4 eps of RMP after watching LIP.
This was already on my waiting list just for my man Quan Yilun ❤ Now seeing he has a love line with Ke Ying put me on ease 🤭 Also Dai Luwa with Bai Shu ❤ I didn't like Bao Shangen as Huang Rong. So I want to see her in another character 👍🏻
But mango.... please do your job in translating 🤦♀️
It's sad that LIP couldn't even break 9000. I understand most viewers already know the ending so they are reluctant to watch LIP. But compared to RMP, LIP has better characters, plot, flow, chemistry and each couple makes you care for them. The only thing that makes RMP better than LIP is the ending that makes you smile and happy. It makes sense since RMP is the final chapter of FSM.
