Hej Deirdre :) …now I'm just wondering if I read the novel now whether the face of Alan will appear in my head…
Why would that make you sad? We can still enjoy the drama together because I’m not some little fan-girl who can only watch a drama if she finds the lead attractive. I trust that Allen will give a good performance and to me that is much more important than him looking pretty. I need a good story and production and half-way decent acting and I’m happy. Also, there is Jeremy, so my eyes will be happy, too.
Maybe when his fans grow up and stop attacking/insulting any of his female co-stars as being too old, to ugly…
Basically every actress who is paired with him, but the latest “victim” was Bai Lu who they called “too old and wrinkly” to play with their darling. I find this behaviour really unacceptable.
This drama is really good. And I hate to see people reviewing for petty reasons. For God's sake it just came out…
I think it’s ok to give a critical appraisal of the first few episodes. What I don’t understand is why people feel the need to give an overall rating for something that has barely started. Also have to agree with you on the “too fast paced/too slow” point. Someone will always complain, usually it’s the people with their finger parked on the FF-button who then complain stuff doesn’t make sense.

In the novel he is described as breathtakingly beautiful, so in my head it’s definitely not AR 😂😂😂 He’s a bit more of a slender, fragile beauty (so no fit for Jeremy). For me Luo Yunxi or Neo Hou would would be a good match, but everyone’s head is different. Jeremy is definitely a very good fit for Pei Yan, calculating and manipulative, leader of an army but silently eating his heart out for the FL suits him.
Oh this must be frustrating for Merxat to be second lead behind a child-actor with barely any acting experience. I really wish drama producers would start valuing acting skills over the idol-boy popularity factor so that we could all enjoy dramas with decent acting.
Watched 13 episodes so far and here are some thoughts…
The plot is quite interesting and at times surprisingly different. I really like the FL, she is quirky and cheeky in the early episodes, but without being annoying. The plot suddenly turned very dark, that was a bit unexpected after the initial, rather light-hearted episodes. I find the ML rather bland. He only seems to have a single facial expression and 5he dreamy-eyed trope gets very boring after a while. The “amnesia arc” has him overacting terribly and the babbling dim-wit he portrays is getting on my nerves. I hope he will come out of it soon. Now that many of the characters that I really liked have gone ( the FL’s dad was pure acting gold!) I need someth8ng more to keep me interested.
Dylan was supposed to have a drama with Zao Lusi, right?
Maybe when his fans grow up and stop attacking/insulting any of his female co-stars as being too old, to ugly too whatever. Even though I like watching his dramas I would hate to see him paired with any actress I like because of his toxic fan girls.
And now you were saved from her bad acting as it looks like she has been banned (at least for now).
What do you mean with after a long time? He had a costume drama earlier this year… If you don’t know what happened, Angelababy went to a show at the CrazyHorse nightclub in Paris and since such venues are frowned upon by the moral guardians in China she may be banned/cancelled/ghosted or whatever. Nobody seems to know for sure right know. Seems that with the name also comes a baby brain… did she seriously expect that what happens in Paris stays in Paris?

I know. It’s very bitter for everyone involved to see their efforts wasted because of this. It seems that China cannot let go of its love for collective punishment.
I’m not too impressed with the acting of both leads in previous dramas, so won’t cry if this never sees the light of day, I just feel very sad for everyone who has invested time and energy in something that is condemned to collect dust in the archive. What a waste!
Can someone respod me.When the ML and FL first kiss?When the ML and FL are together?Are any love triangle?Any…
I cannot remember exactly when the first kiss, but I guess it must be around ep. 14 or 15. They get together at the same time. There are two breakups, one while the ML is still “in character” and one (obviously) when he regains his memories. The FL has an admirer, but he becomes a loyal friend, so no triangle and the ML has a female friend who appears in the 2nd half and tries to come between them, but it is quite clear that the ML isn’t interested so she’s annoying only for a very short time.
Also, there is Jeremy, so my eyes will be happy, too.
