I am sure he was involved but the main director never shoots every scene, far from it. And that opening was definitely not a GJM opening. HMH's eyes were so blank and out of it and it lacked his dramatic flair, intensity and the camera angles seemed all wrong. That is not how this guy shoots his characters or opens his dramas. I cringed through ep 1. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't like the early results and showed up later to try to fix things. There was a lot of scolding of actors during the production. If it were not for the styling, I would not think it was a GJM drama.
Already? That’s quick. Many don’t release scores until the dramas at the halfway point or even at the end…
I am going to guess they are going to stick with Zhu Yan when it doesn't contradict the mythical beast Zhu Yan and his other name when something about him is being fictionalized. Probably just gets them around censorship. Its just a guess bc I haven't really started watching this properly.
I remember seeing quite a number of BTS without him in it or one of the other directors shooting. It would be highly unusual for him to do every single shot himself. 🤷🏻♀️ Beyond that, this doesn't really look to me like its all his work. That was the very first impression I got. But I am only at Ep 2.

Their characteristics and stories in the drama should not deviate too far from how they are supposed to be according to the myths bc the book is a classic that cannot be distorted. I think only Zhu Yan can change quite a bit bc they changed his name to Zhao Yuan Zhou in the drama.
Well from what I have seen so far, I don't think he shot that much of this. Even from some of the BTS you can see the other two co-directors are more hands on. He may have removed his name to avoid people voting it down or maybe he didn't like overall product too much and decided to remove his name from it. But I think its well known he is one of the directors.

Re: the backgrounds @Kumaxell has been posting on the main feed about the backgrounds. Many Chinese viewers will already be familiar with the mythical backgrounds from Classics of Mountains and Seas. I meant to post about them but I haven't had time. https://mydramalist.com/profile/Kumaxell/feeds

Yes there are new dramas airing but they haven't yet. All 3 platforms have different heat indexes that are not directly comparable but I wouldn't be shocked if iQiyi's heat index for this stalls out after PG launches.

That's what I mean. There isn't much competition so the heat index should be on the high side. It could mean its great or it could mean there just isn't anything else to watch. I don't pay attention to heat indexes unless it breaks records.
I have no firm view on this as I only got to ep 2 and did not really like it. But I am quite busy I mean to continue this weekend when I have time and see if I like it better.

Its hard to know what the head index means bc it always depends on what else is airing since many people will watch something to just pass time it doesn't necessarily reflect if its good.

I was there to check on other dramas and found this is one of 3 new ratings that opened today.
