Nooo, i really wanted her to do this...especially with the connection to her culture it would have been great…
Honestly, I don't understand why they couldn't cast an actress with an authentic cultural connection. Li Landi is undeniably talented, but changing the story to give it a more "Han" aesthetic feels off. Yes, I know Landi is Hui but they even changed the name of the lead, but the core of this story lies in Uyghur culture and identity, that's what makes it significant. The story now risks diluting that cultural richness and comes across as dismissive of the very community the story is meant to represent as per OG novel.
I have a question is she still writing so is the a possibility we can get more novels of hers
I can’t confirm that, as she hasn’t made any official announcement. My guess is she’ll continue writing, but since she’s heavily involved in the production side of her adapted dramas that could be taking up most of her time so won't say until she confirms it.
And beneath a montage of her most iconic looks, the writer remarked, "The title 'Red Carpet Queen' of Dilraba Dilmurat did not appear by chance, but came from the diversity in each look."
Slightly devastated because we wanted her to do this one and I see it has 24 episodes.
