Since you put it in the spoiler tag, you're fine, And I understand your English :D... Yeah, I hope that Lord Chu...…
No, I mean I haven't seen his name in the cast list yet. It doesn't mean he won't be there. The cast is not completed yet and he's just a supporting character there, so they will add supporting characters later. I heard they'll start shooting in 2022 not sure when, but already get permit to shoot S2 and S3
After watching and absolutely loving Longest Day in Chang'an, I was very happy to see that so many Ma Bo Yong…
Regarding your comment "Luoyang IMO isn't quite as strong concept or script-wise", I was just wondering is that because this is an unpublished novel of Ma Bo Yong? I mean he might already have plot line but not details, so the scriptwriter took over the dialogues, so we got the repeated "Erlang" thing, lol. I saw her work in The Eight. Although the plot has a potential to be great, as several groups of underworld society band together for a mission, unfortunately the script is mediocre.
TBH I have no idea what's going on I just watch it to see Yibo being Yibo the Errrrlanng couple lol
LOL!!! Yeah, I think that's the weakness of this drama, the script writing seems not creative. But again... I compared her with others as caliber as Wang Juan
My favourite genre in the whole world is Chinese historical / XianXia dramas so I'm looking forward to this. Looking…
wait... wait... but this is not xianxia tho, it's historical. It's not wuxia like Young Blood. But if you like the type of mystery/investigation, you'll definitely like this. This drama will end on 30th December, so you can soon binge it. The sub is on time ;D
Cinematography as its finest. Lovely OST and amazing set of characters. Another one is the fighting scene was…
True the fighting scenes are the best in my opinion, though this is not necessary a wuxia or an action drama. Their pick on actors with dancer backgrounds are a great decision, at least that was the producer said ;D
Luoyang's cinematography and choreography for the fight/chase scenes are actually the best I've ever seen in cdramas…
I agree with your recommendation that this drama is good for newcomers to Chinese period dramas. At least newcomers don't have to memorize all those names for one character and remember the many life times story lines, lol.
I really enjoyed your article. Thank-you. I have not watched the drama yet, but it reminded me of a question I…
This drama used two type of recordings: life-recording with the original actor's voices (especially the main characters) and dubbed-recording, still with them not by voice actors. However, I gave you a warning (that's why I put this as a spoiler), the subbing can be confusing, though it's official subbing from the network. For several first episodes the names are translated in one way, then for several next episodes the names changed, then back to the first translation. I give you an example. In the several first episodes, the translation for the main character's names are Er Lang (for SML) and Yue Hua (for FL). Then later they translated as Hong Yi and Madam Wu, although you hear they still say "Er Lang" and "Yue Hua" in the drama. This too changed with Unwelcome Well to Ghetto Place then back to Unwelcome Well. It seems in the middle they changed the translator. That's why just remember the main names, lol. The voice dubbing is a main problem for Cdramas. But after I heard some explanations from AvenueX and Marcus Sim, they make sense and I can tolerate more with dubbing in Cdramas because it's indeed complicated. If you've never heard about the explanations from those 2 Youtubers I will put the links that explain it ;D
I think so, in fact all three main actors did a great job playing their characters. At least that was also what…
Really??? I didn't know that... No wonder about two weeks ago Wang Yi Bo is hired to be "Luoyang Cultural Tourism Image Ambassador" by the City of Luoyang. I thought it was something to do with the drama. At that time I thought: why him why not the others? Now I know because he was born there, hahaha. He is also picked as one of the Beijing Winter Olympic ambassadors and sang the olympic theme song. It seems this time period is a good time for him ;D
Yeah, I hope that Lord Chu... eh the actor Liu Duan Duan will play again in JOL2, I haven't seen him in the cast list yet/
I think when we're little and finding this out we didn't even care. We just want to read the story, hahaha.
