I was wondering when you would show up. Like clockwork, always here to pretend to be the one good xfx and as always defend your real idol. You really should give up the act, we saw you posting happily in your true home 😂

Cry some more.

MDL has many issues but at least allowing to see the watchlists helps. Enjoy your highly rated flops! This one will still be drama of the year no matter how hard you cry. Maybe try advising your idol to not be a shit actor and work on it will help more than downrating better actors. Friendly advice.

Looks like it is yet another influx of 🐔 fans downrating this drama.

This of course won't make their idol not a triple flop but I suppose in their desperation, this is all they can do.

You 🐔 fans are hilarious. We can see your watchlist you know?

The main lead is already known and that's pretty much all people care about. Tencent bought quite a few hot searches to spread the word.

Tencent has now officially opened reservations for the drama. Seeing signs of movement is great!

No, he is not. Filial piety is still a major thing in China, never mind in those times. He absolutely would listen to his mother and she told him to take his sister to the haystack.

Additionally, if they both went to the tunnels, the ruse wouldn't have worked. Pingjin would have figured out they were hiding. Of course, ultimately, even if somehow he could have saved her by taking her to the tunnels, it still wouldn't be his fault. He was a child, a victim and his sister's death is squarely on the shoulders of the adults.

Post production is not over yet. So probably March or April earliest because it has to go for review after.

XZ doesn't carry sedan chairs. Ignore these reports, there are at least two dozen names licking this project right now. It will take time to get to real ones.

That's right. It should probably start filming around April.

Same, I was so looking forward to it! And it's obvious the production took care while making the drama.

I am so sad they decided to write the MH part as they did. It is so easy these days to consult real professionals on how to handle these topics. Especially if we consider SK has a significant mental health crisis and we get this? I just cannot. I am sorry for all the hard work that was obviously put in by the actors/crew but it's not something I can just gloss over.

It's 2026 and this is how we are still writing serious mental health conditions? Really?

I am too old to be able to stomach such quackery. The production is great but it's no where near enough to sweep away that mess.

It would not surprise me in the least if you were right, it is their typical behavior. Though to be fair, this is all still amateur stuff for anyone who has spent at least a while on Douban. It's almost a vacation for us 😂

Kokuto still plodding away, what psycho behavior. Your idol isn't going to get a role in this drama no matter how hard you attack XZ or it.

And it's been a day since I said that the usual plot sucks will start and lo and behold, what do I see. Of course hard at work with Kokuto, what a nice joint effort 😂😂

At this point, you really should reconsider how you are coming across but your choice.

Box office has now passed 400 million!

Great achievement for a small movie and outside of any major holidays. Also great profit! Congratulations!

A few tidbits that are floating around.

The scripts are finished so the filming of first season isn't being done in an isolated bubble. The standard disclaimer as always, please don't believe any "reports" that will start coming out now about the quality. It's just the usual undermining, whoever has been around even for Zanghai has seen the process.

As others have mentioned below and we talked about this is a top priority project for 🍋 and 🪿but it is also top priority for Fanqie (🍅) not just because this is their biggest IP but because of some of their future plans too.

It's also madness of licking in China right now when it comes to support roles so overall, just ignore it. There are still no credible news about the major ones. It's understandable why everyone wants to get to this table.

Oh and for a change, the book fans are actually ecstatic. I don't remember the last time I saw that mood in those circles 😂

Yes, thank you, I always mess this up 😭

It is fantastic. It's drama of the year for a very good reason. Xiao Zhan's best work so far.

You should post some more how this project is a problem and how XZ needs to go back to idol dramas. Your pals are hard at work doing the same in China.
