I don’t think there is much to worry about with this drama. So far everything that I have seen, from the costumes,…
Yes, the writing is very important. If you’ve seen some of my posts on other dramas, you will know that I constantly rant about the screenwriters ruining top source material and taking the audience for idiots.
Many of the issues with scripts arise because there is no finalized script before filming starts, but this doesn’t seem to be the case with this one. Based on what I have heard, Tan Jianci rejected the initial script and only signed up once he was satisfied with the modifications. I think we can trust his judgment.
BTW, ending of LLTG is a prime example of a rushed, unsatisfying ending (while the early episodes were dragged and repetitive). Not really a reference for good writing in my books. The success of the drama is owed manly to the actors.

what did they release?
Youku usually don’t publish their schedule. They’ve sold the broadcasting rights to iQiyi and it was shown as “mid-May” on the iQiyi list.

March 9, 2026Based on the latest rumors, it is tentatively scheduled to air in mid-May and will be broadcast on…
Haha, pull the other one 😂 Nobody believes these rumours anymore.
Even though it was on the iQiyi list, I refuse to trust any of this until after I’ve watched a couple of episodes.

it turns out that action director Li Bao Liang also worked on the action in Blossom, TPOB, and most recently PoJ.…
I don’t think there is much to worry about with this drama. So far everything that I have seen, from the costumes, over the leaks and teasers to the atmosphere on set, everything screams ‘quality production’.

After seeing the discussion about how important the director and scriptwriter were and how faithful they were…
It is inevitable that there will be changes in a novel adaptation because what works on paper doesn’t necessarily work on screen.
In novels we learn about the thoughts and feelings of one or several (depending on the narrative style) characters. In a drama, making characters “think aloud” cannot be used to the same extend. The director has to find ways to let the audience see these things.
Some scenes are fine on paper but would be very boring to watch because they are too static.

does anybody knows how long the filming will take??
It should be around 120 days. The startup was 25th January, so they’ll probably wrap at the end of April.

Yes, he is handsome!
I’ve uploaded a photo. The quality isn’t good, but it’s enough to get an idea.
And you can see that his face looks flushed.

It’s in chapter 26 (the first time that his character appears):
“A tall and well-built man got out of the carriage. He was wearing a Qiren winter coat. He was Wanyan Jun, the brother of the Qiren Prime Minister, Han Xianwang.”
I also don’t think that any of his actions were motivated by lust, but rather by wounded pride and a will to dominate/humiliate those who once looked down on him.

Haha, you will need to revise that image.
I think he was described as tall and handsome in the novel and based on the storyline he shouldn’t be much older than the princess.

Is the number of ep being 32 is confirmed? I just saw a post in x saying that there is scripts for ep 33 and 34…
Many dramas file for 40 episodes to have some flexibility even if they are only planning on having 30 (which sometimes leads to rumours about “cut episodes”). I don’t know how many they filed for for this drama. Anyways, the final number of episodes will only be determined in post production and then they still have to get through the review.

Yes, and it is great that he is allowed to look good in the drama., even if his character is one of the villains.

That sounds plausible. He is dressed very festive today.
