Sorry, BE = bad ending.

That would indeed be an amazing result 🤣
I think we are all at times struggling with the Chinese numbers…

Yes, the novel is BE, but not in a bad way (if that makes any sense at all). She accepts that he has to do what he has to do and treasures the moments she gets to spend with him even if she doesn’t know what the future will bring.
I actually hope they won’t change the ending because it would take away a lot of the tragic beauty of the story. Sorry, AR-fans…

He is quite violent towards her in the novel, especially in the beginning. I guess they had to tone it down for the drama, so there is a lot of throat grabbing…

Reservations on Tencent have exceeded 1.5 million 👍

Some people say this Saturday… but honestly, I don’t care much if it’s a day sooner or later as long as it can be broadcast 😃

It initially was planned for 50 episodes. I stlll have a Tencent announcement with that info. 40 may be the official max. but I have recently seen dramas get a license for 43 episodes.

Yes,their strategy seems to be a bit uncoordinated.
What I’m most worried about is that they are promoting this only via the romance angle whereas the novel is heavy on political and war strategies.
People who like romance will be disappointed with the drama when it gets into the heavy stuff and the people who like political strategies won’t even bother to watch because they think it’s all cheesy romance.

Nobody really knows what his future plans are. Interpretations of this post (which I believe was written for him by the agency) wildly vary between ‘preparing a comeback’, ‘moving behind the scenes’ and ‘definite retirement’.

Yes, that is my impression, too. It’s the only thing that would explain this half-hearted promotion. They want to broadcast, but still haven’t got the license…

Yes, there have been quite a few articles recently commenting on the problem of clone-like traffic stars with limited acting skills. They see that the majority of the audience is getting bored with the assembly line costume dramas that rely on filters, traffic and dubbing.
Producer Yu Zheng even went so far as to say that people who rely on dubbing shouldn’t be called actors. He also took a dig at the overly effeminate MLs
Things will change, but I’m not sure if they will change fast enough for Jeremy.

And not a blip about it on the Tencent Weibo feed. Are they not going to do any promotion???

Jeremy has probably eaten all the props (again!), so there was no food left for her… 🤣🤣🤣

I would say it is important, but it isn’t too prominent.
I’m quite happy with this because I hate those cheesy tropes of gazing into each other’s eyes while the music plays.

I’m only up to episode 22, and so far there isn’t.

It’s a slow burn, but they are cute.
