I found the first 3/4 of the series to be much stronger than the later 10 or so eps even though the fl and ml…
The worst in those later episodes where the many, many scenes of them staring at each other with the OST playing. These fillers could have been cut for a better flow of the story.
Even more excited to see him taking them off! Judging from the shots of him coming out of makeup and the few brief clips that we’ve seen, his makeup looks excellent (as does he). I’m glad to see that for once Jeremy wasn’t short-changed because the ML’s ego couldn’t bear the thought of being upstaged. Kudos to Leo and the production team for that 🙏
Some snippets from LYN's livestream...that made my die laughingLiuYuning : "how did you film the water scenes…
He’s quite a funny guy! It can’t be easy for the actors having their brain cells fried by some of the insanely stupid questions they get asked in interviews.
One of the Best dramas of the year! Great writing, acting, pacing, and cinematography. Really high quality production.…
I think one of the great strengths of this drama is that it doesn’t just rely on the lead characters to carry the story, but that it has an overall strong cast where all of the side characters are allowed their moment in the limelight and shine through their acting.
Comment un aussi bon acteur peut-il être systématiquement affligé d'actrices tenant le premier rôle féminin…
Ce n’est pas son choix, C’est son agence qui l’oblige de prendre ces roles. Il a essaye de partir mais ils ne le laissent pas aller (c’est la raison derriere sa “retraite” du moins de mars.)
now i understand why jeremy quit 🤦🏻♀️. beautiful costumes, a potentially good premise, and wonderfully…
Don’t blame the director, blame Jeremy’s shitty agency for selling him out on every single project! The trainee actress/starlet female leads (who just to add insult to injury usually get 1st billing), the childish plots and unchallenging roles, it’s all their choice, not Jeremy’s. He has long outgrown this genre and would do much better in a grown-up project aimed at a grown-up audience.
As you say, it’s a pity about the dubbing of his later shows. I don’t know why he stopped doing it as he clearly is able to do it. Maybe it is related to his agency (he joined them 2017) or it could be due to time constraints because of his father’s situation.
does sb knows in which Dramas Jeremy Tsui speaks himself and is not dubbed?Thank you !!!!!!!!!!
The most recent ones are The Autumn Ballad and Trace. He also uses his voice in Fairyland Lovers (guest role, but well worth watching). Some of the pre-2018 modern dramas also have his real voice.
It’s the filters. Filters can wipe micro-expressions completely out.
C’mon, who are you kidding? They ALL had stuff done, but some just have a few fillers while others have their face completely plastified. I’m well aware of filters and you will see me complain about them all the time, but in this drama, all the others seem to be quite capable of showing facial expressions, even Hou Minghao, who certainly is no stranger to “medical beauty”. Are you suggesting the excessive filters were only applied to Tian Jiarui?
Watched the first three episodes and found it very entertaining with beautiful visuals. It has just the right amount of cheeky humour which make a nice change from the silliness in many of the recent fantasy dramas. Hou Minghao’s acting doesn’t disappoint and it’s nice to see Chen Duling in a leading role. It’s the first time that I see Tian Jiarui in a lead role and I’m seriously wondering what Guo JingMing sees in him. His looks are average, the permanently contracted eyebrows are irritating as hell, especially since nothing else in his face seems to be able to move and so far his acting is nothing to write home about. The little guy playing the doctor is really funny! I’m impressed with his acting!

More like too many fillers, his face looks completely frozen. If he could still use his face the way any normal actor does, he wouldn’t need to rely on “micro expression” (which basically is a euphemism for ‘cannot move his face’).
Yes, the story (which goes downhill in the 2nd half) and the weak FL are the two main problems with Legend of the Phoenix. Nonetheless, I like it very much for Jeremy’s performance. The fight scenes in the last episode are something that you will never forget and well worth the heatstrokes that he suffered while filming them.
Oh, there definitely is something like too many female revenge stories. This plot sounds like we’ve seen it already a hundred times. When will these scriptwriters ever come up with an original idea instead of copying from each other?

Acting and plot are what makes or breaks a drama.
