Xiaochu is involved this late in the game? this is shooting in two weeks.
The Anle book is much better fleshed out that WOH was. But yes I agree a re-write would be not a fun project whoever gets it. But I think the guy is almost going to have to be replaced, netizens really want him booted off.

Youku wants this director/writer team on projects together going forward. Last I heard there is a huge push to make it happen, especially given the train wreck that is ALP, another S-category project but by Tencent. The general consensus among industry insiders is that besides questionable casting, the adaptation is atrocious - like someone said to me it is horrifying example of how it is even possible to destroy a great IP and it was written by the Anle scriptwriter. Youku is not gonna flush a ton of money on something that is going to bomb out like ALP if they can help it. The main issue, which I think you are pointing out is that the script is pretty much done. But as you know, it often undergoes extensive modification at the director's request during filming. In any case, I hope they manage to rope her her in as well but so far I haven't seen anything official and I think it is also fair to say it probably won't be fun for her so maybe that is the issue.
There is an alternate ending. You can search for it. But I accept the ending as is.
There used to be YouTubes with the whole thing but the links don’t work anymore. This is the best one that still is out there but I don’t like the way they cut it up.
Sounds like a wonderful and touching film, and your review describes the pertinent themes of what it is about.…
Thanks, me too I haven't seen my folks in too long... This is indeed a wonderful film even though I was quite outraged since I was expecting a comedy and not bawling my eyes out.
I’m just hoping there aren’t any major fandom wars that both sides embrace them as CP.
I only watched Journey of Flower where she was forgettable cute. Story of Minglan I find to be a miraculous natural sleeping aid. Sigh - if its really true about her and ZZH I guess I will have to try to watch...🧐

LoL, I skimmed parts of the Anle novel its actually fairly good it heavily focuses on revenge. They are touting it as a female NIF on some of the Chinese sites but I wouldn't go that far bc to me its obvious that NIF is better written. That said, if the WOH scriptwriter is involved, she can elevate the drama and make it better than the novel.

No you are not alone. This is what one of my favorite drama reviewers said about ZLY in LOF and it was spot on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ork1WnaeQHk Yangzi is another Dilraba for me - so far I have dropped 100pct of what I have tried to watch her in. But maybe that will change. I would love to see ZZH with someone like Ni Ni - amazing actress, beautiful and good attitude.

I dropped every Dilraba drama outside of TMOPB and TLB. I still have goosebumps from those long monologues where she just talks to herself in a Tweety Bird voice in Eternal Love of Dream but she did improve quite a bit in TLB. Let's hope GJ inspires her to new heights. They will look great together.
