Just finished watching it, and that was one satisfying ending! πβ€οΈ I'll miss them so much π₯²β€οΈ One…
I get what you mean. Not everyone can carry off a costume drama. For some actors, despite their handsomeness, something is just off when you see them in costumes.
With Deng Wei, he totally slays in costume. I think he should be called Divine Wei because he is so GORGEOUS in costumes. He will look equally dashing in a tailored suit in a modern drama. Mmmm....ππ Hope to see him in a modern drama soon.
HAHAHAHA MICHA!!! The second sentence.... I can't believe we rubbed off on you with the innuendosπ€£But yes,…
Our MFF had in her all along. Just keeping it in for the young ones, right? LOL But I have to say, these days young ones are not as innocent as we think they are. ππππ€¦π»ββοΈπ€ͺ
Just finished Divine Tree! How to have a love like RanShui? π These two are amazing at having each other's…
Hey Michaπ
I was smiling ear to ear for SYS and RR. It was the most satisfactory ending I have seen in a long long time. That was the ending I wanted to see for Weiwei's Jing in LYF. LOTDT's ending made up for it.
I have always enjoyed Weiwei's acting. It is good to see him growing drama to drama. The opening scene of SYS walking through the bamboo forest in white flowy robes...ππ€€And that hair! White and Wavey changing into Black and Curly....GORGEOUS!!! I need a group buy for all the hair products and styling tools used!!! LOL I can just watch Weiwei walk through bamboo forests in the snow all day. πΏππ€€π I hope he had some Heatech on whilst filming that scene. It looks so cold.
No, Baby Tu was just hidden away from her dad by Elder Tu. In the novel, I think Elder Tu went into the Dragon island and stayed there. Wei Jiu could not easily get in as I think there is some sort of "force field" over it. Can't blame Elder Tu for hiding away with her daughter though, Wei Jiu is such a thick headed idiot and not to mention the WORST house guest ever. π€¦π»ββοΈπ€¦π»ββοΈ Finishing the Acoholic Immortal's finest wines and gate crashing on SYS and RR's lovey dovey moments. It was hilarious how SYS was staring daggers at WJ and he was so thick skinned about it. I think even RR was annoyed at being interrupted and told WJ to shut his trap and just eat the buns. π€£ππ
I liked the Vermillion Bird and Dragon CGI. Beautifully done. But Weiwei is just so impressive. We can see his improvements. He is not just a pretty face with no talent, he would not have been able to last so long if he just has a face card. Proud of him.
I am in a cdrama drought now, no more Weiwei dramas. Sighs....

πThe two characters are totally different, so maybe that character in LYF just wasnβt your type.
Yes indeed! The Jing character isnβt for everyone, but some are so affected by it that they lose interest in Deng Weiβs new dramas, because they associate him with Jing, which is a pity. Itβs great that non-Jing fans gave Deng Wei and this drama a chance and changed their minds because Deng Wei is a great actor and a sweetheart in real life. ππ«Άβ€οΈ
well the love WJ character... He always try to be villian of the show but actually he isn't... I it's funny how…
Ahhh...Neo looked GORGEOUS in Fangs of Fortune. I like him too. But yeah, if I put him next to Weiwei, he ranks lower than Weiwei. LOL Think maybe I will go catch some anime. I have been wanting to catch Sakamoto Days.
Yeah, the agency problems are persistent rumours which some fans wish Weiwei would address. But I guess if Weiwei…
I am not too sure how it is being done but I think it's Weiwei's agency handling all these script screening, roles etc. If they reject on his behalf then there is nothing much he can do too but to wait out the contract. π
I know his LYF co stars (the guys) have all gone on to film quite a number of dramas. I have not kept track, but did all or any of their dramas score as well as Weiwei's Divine Tree? I have not heard much about the rest getting good scoring on Weibo etc. Hmmm...any idea? π€
Currently watching and can HIGHLY recommend! If you're unsure if this is something for you, I can tell you that…
Glad you didnβt miss this masterpiece due to what you saw in LYF!
I watched LYF and liked both Tushan Jing and Xiang Liu. Each had their strengths and flaws, but the drama altered Jingβs portrayal by cutting and rearranging key novel scenes, making him seem weaker than he was. In the novel, he wasnβt weak and even had a connection with Xiang Liu. Since many viewers hadnβt read the novel, they judged Jing solely based on the drama, leading to unfair criticism of both the character and Deng Wei himself. Some anti-Jing fans even harassed Deng Wei, forgetting that actors simply follow the directorβs vision. I remember seeing a video of an anti-Jing fan fiercely scolding Deng Wei after he got off work at the studio. If Deng Weiβs performance frustrated her, that just proves he did his job wellβso letβs be kind to the actor.
Also, in historical or Xianxia settings, we know that arranged marriages werenβt easily broken, especially if one was royalty or noble. Jing had to juggle honoring his grandmother while ensuring FFYY wasnβt shamed when he broke off their engagementβpretty considerate, given how terribly FFYY treated him. And then getting drugged by his own grandmother so that she could get her way? That was just brutal. Ultimate betrayal! How could one not feel for Jing?
That said, I am happy that Deng Wei got to shine in Divine Tree! It proves how much an actorβs performance depends on the role and direction given, and we got to see Deng Wei's versatility in Divine Tree. I think heβd make an amazing villain, and Iβm excited to see him in Take Me Where The Clouds Rise if it ever gets screened. Fingers crossed.
Looking forward to your final thoughts on Divine Tree!
the joke about how everyone from fl, 2ml, 3ml, 'wants' Su Yishui's body just continues to write itself in the…
Yeah, we would definitely do the same thing. Heck, we would not even ask, we'll just pile up on him. Shifu can't move anymore. HAHAHAHA...π€ͺπππ€£
For some actors, despite their handsomeness, something is just off when you see them in costumes.
With Deng Wei, he totally slays in costume.
I think he should be called Divine Wei because he is so GORGEOUS in costumes.
He will look equally dashing in a tailored suit in a modern drama. Mmmm....ππ Hope to see him in a modern drama soon.
Hopefully things are getting better for him. β€οΈβ€οΈ
