I wonder why they won't show the other actors in full costume? It pretty much seems like a media blockade except for Gong Jun and at the very beginning 2 female supporting actresses, and that was 1 picture. It seems rather strange, because I Know there are other actors on set.
Do the people saying they like this current cast know anything about this story or the characters? I haven't actually read the book, but I have heard about aspects of the story and seen fan videos for it. Did you know (if I understood correctly) that this story or the main male character was possibly inspired by Xiao Zhan, during the time he was being unjustly persecuted etc?
Do you realize that Deng Yi, will be tortured, be pretty Submissive/tolerant and face lots of persecution etc? In the original story he was forced to become an EUNUCH? He needs to feel like a forbearing and internally conflicted scholar/or official through probably most of the drama. His presence and aura and micro expressions will matter. The female lead writes things down and tries to help him. She will need acting range as well as the male lead. But the production will probably change a lot anyway. I am not sure if I will even watch this drama now, depending on the casting and production..
So sad and disappointing. They are both NOT right for the parts, even though I like Zhang Linghe...😣😰😭
I can do what I want and state the obvious. I too have expectations for this drama and it has been for more than a year. How long have you been waiting for JJY do do this drama?
And there are many who agree with me when it comes to her acting or her lack of caring in improving herself except for her appearance.
