The parts when it is good, it is really good! Sadly, in between there are some really boring fillers.
Nonetheless, what makes this drama special is that the brought in some fresh ideas instead of the usual formulaic tropes and that the main couple have a grown up relationship.

So true! For me the worst, obsessive ML was the one in Ashes of Love. Any sane person would have shot the stalker of his brother’s fiancée, I couldn’t see how this was romantic at all!
However I get why the FL is cruel to LTG, she wants him to snap out of his craze by being disappointed with her, but this would only work on a sane person.

Hehe, I once had a car like that… it looked light green during the day and white at night.
The ideal getaway car 😂😂😂

Yeah, those script writers have a fixed set of elements that they just mix up and decorate with fresh faces for every new drama. I really love the xianxia genre but it would definitely need a few fresh ideas instead of the same old boring tropes like
- love triangle with obsessive, delusional third party
- misunderstandings due to not talking to each other
- antagonists with no motivation other than being evil/hating the FL or ML for no reason whatsoever.
…and many, many more.

I liked SOKP a lot. The two dramas are very different. SOKP had more focus on palace politics and was dialogue-heavy with a faster pace of the overall plot
This one is more action-oriented, but I found some parts of it more boring than than SOKP. There is more romance in it early on, but the endless sequences of the gazing at each other while the theme song plays feel like boring fillers to me.

He doesn’t seem to fit the current “pretty boy” standard for popular dramas. To me they all look a bit the same while his looks are unique.
C-netizens always need stuff to complain about. If his look is unique, they’ll complain and if he had plastic surgery (like so many actors) they would complain about that.
Tastes are different anyway and much more important than looks is the fact that he has charisma and he can act.

There is a third option, the dramas where they get an ML role are just shit productions with a shit script.

So accurate 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For me this is what I love about LTG (and this drama in general): it is unpredictable. The baddies aren’t ugly idiots who are all thoroughly evil for no other reason than “the script says so”, but all have their own motivation. It’s only the circumstances that turn people into adversaries.

Yeah, his pairing with these girlie would-be actresses is really frustrating. With this one (and his 2ML role in Love of Nirvana) I guess he is trying to steer away from these roles.
If Allen Feng joins the team we will have a real power-trio. I cannot wait to see how this works out!

We don’t know yet when he will start filming. By the looks of it shooting will take a few months but the side characters will probably have a lot of their scenes grouped together, so that they don’t need to be there all the time…

I always found him a very boring ML, but he is really good in A Journey to Love!!! I feel this type of cheeky character suits him perfectly.

We won’t be able to load the page anymore 😂😂😂

Thanks for the clarification regarding the dubbing.
No, I won’t force myself to watch this, no worries. I will give it a try and if it turns out as silly as the trailer suggests (not that trailers can always be trusted 😏) I will drop it.
I quite like ZLS as an actress and enjoyed watching her in LLTG, therefore it would be disappointing to see her cast as silly girlie in some cliched production.

Isn’t she dubbed? If so it’s the director’s choice what kind of voice they give her. I had hoped that with her recent success she would towards a more mature style…
And yes, a new-born beast may be naive but doesn’t necessarily have to speak in a baby-voice to bring that message across.

The child-like voice of the FL, the silly humour, the glittery special effects and pastel colours… all this screams teenage romance drama.
I had this on my list to watch, but after seeing the trailer I’m not so sure anymore.

Yeah, look at the cute princess and think wolverine 😂😂😂

Those polls are rather silly and totally meaningless.
How many of his fans would say it didn’t look good (even if they thought so)?
How many of the people who dislike him would admit that it looked good?
So basically it’s just a poll for or against LYX…

I know that, but compared to the wigs in other dramas the ones they’ve used here are extreme. Normally, the line is along the ears, here it’s 2-3 cm into their faces.
It strikes me especially looking at the little princess. Any girl having that much hair growing from the middle of her face would jump off a bridge…

I really love this drama, but there is one thing that irritates me the more I watch of it.
It’s these totally unnatural wigs! Just look at the sideburns!!!
Other than Wolverine, who the hell has head hair growing from the middle of their cheeks???
