Meng Ziyi definitely wants to do it, especially since it's a female centric drama even if Dylan is 1st billed…
He is too old for the role too if it’s about age , he does not pass as a teenager but no one’s complaining about that
And as for his entitled fans they can just choose not to watch and let their gege’s drama flop no one gaf
His fans should be blaming him first and foremost for signing a female centric drama as first biling then, he knew what he’s signing up for, it’s like they would blame anyone but the man himself .
Don’t come now saying that he’s only signing it for Gaurdian yada yada drama, i could say the exact same for Meng Ziyi and her drama .
His fans might not like her boss or agency but nobody likes his overbearing rabid fandom either, he’s infamous for having crazy fans, it’s embarrassing
He’s already confirmed to be first billed and he’s a bigger star so ofc anyone who’s casted for the FL will gain exposure not only MZY
And about her boss being pushy, isn’t that what an agent is supposed to do ? If i was an actor and paid my agent that much money i sure would hope they make sure I’m front centre in every aspect
Don’t make it sound like MZY is doing something when the situation is just that anyone who takes the role would be in her exact position
It’s not like he’s a good actor either, both MZY and him are average at best, it’s pot calling kettle black situation
This is all Xinli’s doing , isn’t it curious that both Meng Ziyi and Wang Hedi have upcoming Xinli dramas they’ve signed for and MZY is already filming hers.
It’s like they’re holding them hostage lol
I don’t think anyone in the industry wants to do this drama and Meng Ziyi definitely doesn’t want to play Shen Xihe and Shen Miao , two very very similar characters back to back.
But it’s not like she’s in any position to decline this if they insist she takes the role , that risks with the production of her Tiger Sniffs The Rose drama.
I agree 100%. I guess it is enticing because it is and S+ production, but something about this just feels like…
That could be the case , i think they’re also counting on the fact that MZY and her Blossom male lead’s 2nd drama together, which is a Xinli Production, will just air before this drama and it’s bound to be a hit so more clout from that as well.
And MZY does have a modern drama scheduled to air soon, it’s with Wang Hong Yi.
Like girl, after The Untamed you should’ve learned when to just let go of projects. It’s gonna do more harm than good with a cult following for a novel like this.
The age of the characters doesn’t even matter to me it’s just it’s such a popular novel that it can really harm her career.
Meng Ziyi’s character was also supposed to be 14 at the beginning of Blossom novel and by the time she got married and had their first baby the ML and FL were 16-17, but in the drama they aged them up appropriately and honestly that didn’t affect much of the drama at all instead made them better.
But then again Blossom had one of the best script writers and director ever and i don’t think many or very very few drama’s can compare to how Blossom was written and directed. ( and they were even able to sneak in the rebirth concept without it getting censored)
So unfortunately , if this really is the cast , i hope this gets Blossom level of direction and script writing or else there is no saving it.
Poor MZY is already getting so much hate , idk why she even took this role up when she’s already doing Ba Hua Sha , the characters are very very similar even their names are “Shen Miao” “Shen Xihe” , they’re both general’s daughters.
But Shen Xihe is more brutal (she’s literally throwing people down mountains and leaving hundreds of snakes open in her enemies rooms) and the overall plot and side characters are more interesting and have more agency in that novel + the main leads are both lovers for 90% of the plot , so it’s winning in the romance department too.
So i genuinely don’t understand why MZY would slap her own face and choose a project like this which is bound to get her a lot of hate .
Her makeup is less cakey and more natural, she looks much younger too
I was skeptical and still am, but i can actually see Shen Miao in her.

Even as a fan i’m so disappointed lol
