This I agree, Ren Ming having a magnolia nomination when she is barely 20 is a big shout out that she is GREAT…
Yes, casting the right people for the roles is also very important. Not just getting any actor with prestigious awards. At times a drama flops not because the actor is not good but rather a mis-casting issue. Many times an unknown actor also turns out to be a solid actor, like Xixi. RM is pretty but does not have a fairy look and thus her looks clash with what is expected of a fairy in costume. And the way she presents her character also grates on people's nerves. No saving grace. *sighs* Which is such an injustice to her as those of us seeing her for the first time in this role are going to be put off.
I think a comment section has to be open to this type of discussion. No one is giving rubbish reviews like her nose is not sharp enough or she is too short etc. Just discussing the drama esthetics, actor performance etc. If those moderators keep shooting everyone down, the rating on the page also keeps going down. Last time I went in, their ratings fell below 8. Like what you mentioned to us last time round about how to deal with the trolls on our page and how people get back at being "scolded". Anyways, that's for the folks on the other page to manage their page.
Despite the above grumbles, are you still game to watch TLP later when all the episodes are completed?
Yeah, need the boss to give me the antidote to the Moon Poison and YunLu Fever. And I guess the antidote is his next collab with Lulu. Which is years down the road. I am suffering!!! 😂🤣😂🤣🤪🤪
I tried TLP and it doesn't make me want to watch it as much as TTEOTM. I was anticipating it for a LONG time.…
There are a lot of complaints about the FL and her acting in the TLP page itself. Their moderators are not taking kindly to it and have "scolded" those commenters for it. Based on the reviews, I gather that the folks who shared their complaints, don't hate the actress, it's just that she just does not seem right for the drama, probably due to her age and look. Not everyone can carry off a costume look and she also currently does not have that level of maturity yet for this role and might do better in a modern drama. The CP chemistry is also not there with XZ.
Agreed! The team should either swap out RM with another FL that complements XZ or vice versa. XZ and RM just don't mesh as a CP. Watching their BTS and promotional videos, they look like siblings to me and no CP vibe whatsoever. YunLu has a sizzling CP aura and their looks complement each other. And they both look good in costume. 😍🥰 YunLu can do no wrong right? LOL 🥇🤪
I hope XZ's popularity can help with TLP numbers....
I feel you Cookies, nothing comes close to TTEOTM and YunLu standards. The GOLD standard. LOL
I just stop watching the drama if I find that I am dragging myself or doing too much FF. Might as well just rewatch TTEOTM or LIS. I have also gone off to watch English dramas and anime. You can try the Taiwanese drama "Oh no! Here comes trouble", it's a supernatural modern drama. I finished it. Interesting one.
I love XZ and I couldn’t get passed the first ep of TLP ever since I saw pics of FL references to Hk comedian…
Ahahahaha...oh no, what a comparison. Do you have the link to that article? This I gotta see! LOL
I think give RM a chance and in a few years she could mature into a really great actress with the correct opportunities and guidance. But I think for now she is "too young" to play a role that requires more than cuteness. She comes across as trying too hard and coming off as cute and childish. I think it has to do with her still not having enough life experience to accurately portray certain emotions. It's all so childlike and unnecessarily cute vs XZ who comes across so wise and mature and his character is only around 17? Her character should be around 16?
This reminds me of the rule the James Bond team has on picking a James Bond. The actor has to be in their 30s as they need him to carry a certain aura that a younger 20+ actor will not have yet. Did you know Henry Cavill was actually favoured to be cast as the 6th James Bond but in the end lost out to Daniel Criag because he was too young at that point in time, 22 yo. If the movie gods shine for Henry Cavill this time now that he is 40, he might be our 7th James Bond. Anyways, I digress.
I am also distracted by XZ's costume. Come on, give him a better, nicer one. Why is his cape held on by 2 cheap plastic clasps? At least make it look more like metal clasps. LOL Even TTJ hostage prince's simple black outfit (Ep 4, where he was looking at the Geography of the 4 continents to see where XL will be cultivating and then got beat up by that grease bag prince) looks better than the costume XZ had to wear. And in the opening scene, why does XZ float down with his umbrella open like Mary Poppins? Come on, injustice to the man!! LOL I have not reached the dance part yet, but saw the one in the earlier episode where the FL was cheering for her friend like an uncouth person. *sighs* Alas...boring. 😴
Anyways, will try to continue for a few more episodes and see how that goes. *sighs* Not hopeful of completing this as well. TTEOTM! What have you done to me?! Moon Poison with YunLu Fever. I have it really bad and not even XZ can help this time. 🤪😅🫠

Thanks!
Yes, following both our bosses. LOL
Thanks!
Not me tearing up...it's just some dust in my eyes. 🥹🥲
But hell yeah, they can do braids or do .... all kinds of other things together. 😏😉😜

Yes, good luck to us all.
