ikr?? I almost got cheated by the comment about the FL.
It would be very strange indeed to see fireworks under the circumstances. I think Xiang Hanzhi's angry accusing glare and tormented expressions are spot on.
I agree, I think most of the things she's done is fair enough. Maybe it's not how people would have liked her…
While I really like Li Landi's acting, her character in Coroner's Diary is way too perfect, mature and rational. I prefer characters who have some some flaws and room to grow. You are right, Xueman was over protected but she is spunky and fights for her right to be part of the team. The misunderstanding is no less the ML's fault. He not only didn't empower her or share his thoughts with her, he more or less lied and tricked her - on their wedding day. Wow! Whatever his motives, that is not the kind of man or relationship she deserves. But I am willing to be forgiving to them both and say they were not in the right place to get married at that point in time. I don't blame her for being still angry at him and distrusts him. But I think this is how their relationship is tested and ultimately grows.
After reading the comment, I thought that FL must be so annoying or childish with all the hate. Even though she…
I would add the FL was just trying to drug the ML so that she could question him without him overpowering her. She had no malign intent. But this poison trope is.... grits teeth... getting really old!
well tbh the FLs major flaw is that she has poor judgements on a person due to her emotions— tho I find her…
So far her judgement hasn't struck me to be that bad. 🤷🏻♀️ She is interrogating him asking all the right questions. You mean good judgement is to ask no questions and just let the most obvious suspect (or witness) off just bc she trusts him or knows him??? This is a detective drama, that's not what I would expect of a good constable.
In any case, after their reunion, they are finally sharing information with each other, something they both should have been doing from the start.
Just started but am not sure why the FL is getting so much hate here when the ML is the one who is arrogant, condescending…
He promised to be her partner in solving crimes but he keeps information from her and plots against her to "protect her". Its high time she calls him out on his behavior and demands respect and answers from him.
It is said that the production fee of "The Legend of Immortal Cultivation" was 300 million yuan (about…
Episode count cuts are happening across dramas and platforms. This is because ad slots are priced on a unit basis. The platforms don't want to cut unit price (i.e price/slot/episode) anymore bc every time they do that, its incredibly difficult to push the unit price back up. But the Chinese economy is so weak that advertising budgets are down a lot so the only way to cut absolute price without cutting unit price is to cut episode count. IA was indeed trying to get enough ads to air for a long time but they couldn't sell enough slots to break so it kept getting pushed back. But the content cut may not have been that severe as there were quite a few close to 1 hour episodes. To the platforms its all about preserving unit economics - right now they are cutting absolute price without looking like that is what they are doing. When the economy rebounds, they can increase price without raising unit price by just going back to 40 episodes.
Kind of underwhelmed by Da Peng - he looks (and sounds) like he is seriously over-acting. But probably the storytelling…
I am not familiar with the actor and his past works. I was just reacting to the trailer. But I will watch the movie when it becomes available to me. Sometimes trailers can be misleading. I enjoyed the drama version.

The drama platforms and media companies are the biggest and more disciplined investors in dramas but high net worth individuals and actors themselves often do it as well. A lot of times it’s for bragging rights which is why sometimes stupid actors (mistresses, girlfriends and daughters) get cast in bigger roles than they deserve and some really bad dramas get made. Zhang Ziyi for example was the biggest investor in Rebel Princess which is allegedly the highest budget drama ever. But that is mostly BS bc her pay was a huge number and it was her paying herself a ton of money - in one pocket out the other. That is also why a lot of dumb shit happened with the script and even the casting of the well into her 40s self as a 16 year old. This was before all the actor pay controls she won’t be able to do that today and boast about it being the most expensive drama ever. In general the investment terms and amounts can be quite opaque but Youku, iqiyi, mango and tencent are all listed companies so you can find quite a bit of information from their regulatory filings and investor updates. I talk to a lot of the IR teams regularly and usually pick up quite a bit of information that way.

You mean Litchi Road? No, I really liked it. I rated it 8.5, better than The Double.
