Did GJM sort of regret the sort of happy ending already so he is pushing for a season 2? I rather they leave it…
It ended...thereās really no need for a sequel...gjm kind of traumatized me with this āhappy endingā attempt š Iām so used to his usual endings...death or separation...that I donāt know what to do with this..lol
But yeah, the story is done for me. From what Iāve seen about this youku pitch...S2 wouldnāt even be a sequel...just a different cast nd the story in the same universe. So even if it happens...and I doubt it..it would stand on its own. If they go again with some popular names...their fandoms will be happy. Fine with me..Iāll tune in if the story and acting actually look promising..

GJM has a new project coming up. He went back to iQiyi, and he didnāt even say this...it was a Youku producer. This first development phase can mean pretty much anything or nothing at all.
Tbh I see it more as a PR move....just giving people smth to talk about...vos is trending again...merch is picking up, and they can drop little updates here and there to keep it in the hot search. If Youku really wants the same universe with another cast, gjm just has to sell them the necessary IP rights for them to start building...he'll profit regardless of the success.
The rating dropped within an hour or two, which says a lot, but this is not the only drama where I've seen such…
Yeah, it is. If you go to the page...youāll see really interesting essays from people breaking down the story, deeper themes and the Chinese philosophy behind it...if you like to dive deeper into things. I really love some of the dialogue, some of the best Iāve seen in a while. Think itās getting downvoted for two reasons. One is Luo Yunxi...he seems to have some hardworking haters....which I donāt really get cause I think heās a really good actor. The second is that itās not romance focused..and those usually get downvoted by people who are just annoyed there isnāt much romance.
Wow... havent been to this page in a while and they tanked the rating form 8.6 to 8.1, and the reviews viewed…
The rating dropped within an hour or two, which says a lot, but this is not the only drama where I've seen such organized attacks within hours ..Whispers of Fate had two drastic ones. It recovered from the first one but never from the second one, and it stayed around 8.0.
Exactly, like let TJR be @GJM! . I really want to see him act in costume drama by another director and writer…
It's easy to check someone's work on mdl...just minutes to see what dramas, movies, with whom, the directors, etc. But for some, it's easier and more convenient to just say the same... gjm...not to break the narrative ..

He already has 5 projects with different directors.. 4 finished and one ongoing. In one gjm is just a producer...gjm has nothing to do with the other 4. Rui has his own studio and gets casted through auditions.
Just say you like the heavy smoothening filter of VOS which made everyone's skintone seems unrealistic. FOF has…
Yeah...itās been like that for a while. I didnāt see anything wrong either...your comment was about filters in general..not anything specific. But the moment you mentioned that name ..the one we donāt speak of ..was enough for them to bring you that filter story and that's just one of like 4 or 5 they keep repeating...so you were actually lucky you didnāt get the rest of them..š

Try to ignore it....this has turned into the page of a cult.. and the first rule is to learn that there's one whose name is not to be spoken here if you want to avoid what just happened. Lol, I just ignore them.
I'm not a fan of filters, esp in dramas where heavier filters are on...and that's many..but i just try not to notice too much. A lot of cdramas have things I had to get used to when I started watching, like filters and some voice overs. But overall... some are just too good to let those things take over. And fof is good....slower-paced than VOS..itās character driven, with a more simpler story and less plot twists.. but it really lets you connect with every character..
She is just a troll... the therapy is expensive so this is her therapy, trolling ..nd it doesn't work...cause she's been here over a year under other names too nd hasn't been very creative ..writing the same stuff
Yeah, with the bullet comments on...quite toxic...even casuals were complaining that the toxicity was too much…
Yep..'m happy that casual viewers picked it up. This is what i hoped for..so the only comments I cared about reading were theirs. They are the most neutral....and I think it's thanks to them that interest stayed high... even with some fan wars going on.

I think he is smart enough to figure out what drives people..if genuin criticism or smth else..tbh it's not that hard to distinct...and the bullet comments are nothing new to him. I remember one clip on Bilibili...the very first episode of FOF with bullet comm on.. and so many..if not majority...were mocking and criticizing everything that moved on the screen in just the first 15 minutes. This is some crazy obsession people have over gjm. Some love to join and watch his work just to rant...and he is the perfect target. Others are just bots and trolls in an organized attempt to bash everything he touches. So the actors.. some more..some less, are often the collateral damage. To find any valid true criticism are hard to find among the bullet comments..nd hope he gets it, learned from before ..so that he won't get unnecessary affected.. Not all of them are bad... I went back to some vos scenes on the Youku intl app..and most of them are just the normal ones...so it depends on the platform.
I think what SagaTeAles said was correct where the Dragon Deity Ji Ling still has those memories is because he…
Glad to see the confirmation. šYep..these were the scenes..could be more, but I can't remember...that made me believe that Jiling could be "online" and see what the puppet was seeing. Some scenes also made me believe that Jiling wasn't doing this the whole time, because in one convo, LJ told him there was no reason to leave when he can.. as usual.. just absorb the memories when Jiling the puppet comes back. I think Jiling was even "offline" when the puppet was pierced through the heart...he looked like he didn't know, if I remember this part correctly.
Guys, please stop hating Ju Jingyi. I absolutely canāt stand it with the comments about her acting and her performances.…
If you are thinking about an acc jelly...it is an old troll, active here and on other pages for a long time. She has shifted her strategy a bit, now dragging in Rui's name..among others..using a new angle to attack jjy. Most regular acc here know her well and the nonsense she is spilling, but the most effective has been just to ignore and report her. It has worked many times...
