I hope the SFL character is changed as well for the drama.

Eek, that’s not great if true. Sigh. If it was an investment issue, I think there would still be a way to get other investors to finance. It’s such a high profile drama that I can’t imagine that iqiyi would just let it go without at least trying to figure something out. What’s more difficult is if there are major creative differences.

I think it’s the author’s style ( same author as princess gambit). I’m sure the drama altered it.

He’s also now endorsed by the Shanghai Diamond Exchange. How fitting haha

It’s his voice. But I’m pretty sure Li Chenzhou is another’s though.

He's a complicated person, and honestly not to everyone's liking probably. I don't know what the drama will be like.

Yeah it’s too bad he’s developing in the wrong way as a character. But I guess we did see from the beginning he’s a bit rigid in his principles and mindset. I’m just tired of the same old thing every time he’s on screen now.

He’s dubbing himself afterward, so I imagine it can be hard to match the exact emotion of when it was filmed. Definitely could work on that for sure, but I appreciate his efforts to voice himself. It’s a hugely important part of acting.

Oh no is he still spouting out nonsense…ugh Yiren what a waste of a character.

Can’t wait! It’s been 2 years…but yes, Su Yishui was an appetizer I guess lol (as far as seeing him as a villain). Would love to see him in full villain mode here.. Also the rest of this cast is insane. ❤️

Yes for sure in the novel. The main characters are not perfect saints but are complex, particularly the male lead. We’ll have to see here what changes are made in the drama…which I hope is filmed well despite what these rumors may claim.

Just for this drama. The production hasn’t been in the habit of announcing things in advance (like when the cast would be announced) or putting out statements to quell the rumors, so there are constantly rumors because it is true the production has taken several breaks from filming since May. As for the true reasons why, we don’t really know. There could be legit reasons like cast scheduling conflicts or whatnot. We’ll find out more one day I’m sure.

Prince Liang of Daxi. He arrived all of a sudden into the narrative acting super friendly and righteous - which makes me suspicious lol.

Don't lose hope! But in any case, best to just move on I guess.

Yeah, it would be such a shame that all that hard work was for nought. But this production crew has been mysterious from the start and plagued with rumors and whatnot. We'll have to wait and see.

I hope it's finished properly too. Isn't there some kind of iQiyi conference next week? Maybe we'll get some news?

Yes, bring it on!

I think I'm going to wait a bit and see how this goes before continuing the next several eps.

I feel like QS and LSF just need to talk. Like dude, what is your. deal with the Xiao family? Maybe we are actually on the same side here lol. We'll see. Unfortunately, I think the next 2 episodes are just more anguish and no answers.
