You read my mind! Some of the guys look '10MOPB' Ghost Tribe, ZYQ & WYH- Victorian Missionaries, WD & disciple - trad costume drama, ZBB's brown costume- retro wuxia.

If they made it a 'tongue in cheek' subversive Xianxia... the wackiness would work in a strange way😁.

Yes😻! He joined the set today (he was in Xinjiang b4).

Tbh, they all look mis-mashed. ZYQ looks Victorian. They've gone full gothic, maximalist mish-mash, mash-up.

The production is open to suggestions for the month. They got an earful about over-accessorizing, make-up, & styling. Apparently, they've made changes.

Same, but he does do 'broken' antagonist too well. He finished filming Yang Yang's 'Mortal Ascension'. The donghua's good... he's playing the crazy villain😏.

Lol, he's gone rogue these days. I heard he plays a fighter who's a 'rough man' - can't wait to see that😹.

The Zhang Xiaochen/ LFY rumours turned out true. Now wondering if they got XHQ right...

Dr Mo's casting👌🏼. Exactly how I imagine him💜.

Don't know if you still need this... he worked at the sushi restaurant

Production was ambiguous using 'friendly/special' starring for all the supporting cast. The producer is his manager, so he probably has a bigger role as ml 2/3, if he's not guesting.

I might have to check out the donghua if there's subs.

Re; 'Song of the Moon'...hopefully they've learnt from their mistakes😏.

Yes, it was down to fate on TSO. I can imagine how much of a car-crash it'll be if I watched a Xianxia donghua minus subs🤫.

I might have to check out the donghua when I get time, but I need subs.

So the rumours of 'Tibetan Sea Opera' going to Sun Yi is probably tru now...

TY💜. Do you know if all 3 books are linked stories?

Re- Ban Ming Ban Mei, 'Bloody Romance'. From what I remember there were 2 other Screen Writers on that to tone down her original porno/sado content. I haven't seen 'Song of the Moon', was it really bad?

Does anyone know if this is suppose to start filming soon, or is it a long way off for now? ty

* just realised the Screen Writer is "Ban Ming Ban Mei" ( Bloody Romance). I loved that drama. They made her tone down her original book/ change the ending. They should've kept some of her edge...

I want to know too. Was this the one you were referring to b4/ or did you mean 'GuanHe Notes'?

The drama gods answered my call: Zhang Binbin, Chen Muchi, Wang Duo (in cardboard form 4 now😂).

Plus Zhang Yaqin🌞. SZN don't know her but she looks good from the clips.

I also had the same thought for a minute. They did it on purpose putting that picture on the left😏.

I like her too, + GTY, and WLK ( I know I shouldn't, but...💥🖤)

That chat he had with Wuxi gave me hope he planned to place himself in there (obvsly HZC wasn't cutting it🙄). Also loved that Wuxi had her focussed head on throughout. My theory came true in the next ep, so they're actually moving the story fast in this last arc.

I haven't seen ep 29 BUT I hope GTY doesn't, as he knows from experience it'll never end. I didn't like HG b4( just knew him from a clip on 'Street Dance of CN'), but he's actually a good actor, very relatable as an invisible/everyday guy. His whole energy's diff from his usual swaggering self👏🏼👏🏼.

Obviously I like LYT. Being honest I think she excels playing characters pushed to the extreme like in ' Royal Nirvana'/ 'Bloody Romance'. Not everyone can play 'normal'. The wishy washy character they gave her is not helping too. As 4 WDX. I think he tries too hard to play normal, but comes off OTT.
He's miscast as a believable 'slacker'. Someone like Xu Kai/ Bai Jingting might fit it better...

Romance is here in mild forms for the side characters, but it's not the main story. The CP/ partnership between LYT & WDX is ambiguous, probably 1/6 of the content.
