right!! and when Cheng Yi and Zhao LuSi formed a CP, ChuYu CP fans said they give them another heartbreak. Like…
They did WHAT???? I don't know this.
Even though I know people has the freedom to ship whomever they want, I think this behavior needs to stop. Si Feng and Xuan Ji are NOT Cheng Yi and Yuan Bing Yuan. They need to be able to separate character and actor.
With this kind of situation, actually I prefer if Cheng Yi and Yuan Bing Yuan stop collaborating for a time period. At least until this CP craze is died down. Because, anymore collaboration will only feed this delusional people and the snowball effect in the future will be unfathomable. If they are already this crazy after 1 drama, what will happen after 2 dramas?!
The level of L&R CP obsession really baffles me. Looks here, I know they have good chemistry, but it is not in the level “unreplicable”. As it is now, every time Cheng Yi side announces his future drama, people always rave about wanting his co star to be Yuan Bing Yuan. As if people can only accept him pairing with her and no other woman. I have seen comment from another discussion platform that state that she didn’t want to watch other Cheng Yi drama when the partner is not Yuan Bing Yuan.
If Yuan Bing Yuan truly get the job by the merit of her skill, then good for her. But, I don’t want Huan Rui to pair them again just because of fan pressure. Just let the director who know better to decide the cast.
Same concern, but if it reach at least 80% of the novel was... i would be sastified.
I think as long as the drama is following faithfully the cultivation system, it already 50% success.
Douluo Dalu core of values are in friendship and family. So, the 7 people of Shrek academy need to have good chemistry with each other to make the drama work. As long as the drama change enriched those core values and doesn't touch the cultivation system, the majority of novel fans (me included) will be satisfied enough.
I hope they don't screw up the palace politics with the actual sects.And don't screw up OP Tang san, with a p****…
Same! Based on trailer, I don't think we need to worry about the CGI though. It is good enough. But, I have reservation regarding xuanhuan novel adaptation. China entertainment doesn't have good precedent. I also hope they don't change the clan background for the sake of simplicity. Please, make Tang San clan background intact ...
I do feel grateful that a popular actor with good acting skill taking on this project. But in my eyes, xuanhuan novel adaptation is quite tricky. Once you change too much and irreparably changing the soul of the story, it is the end for me. Acting skill and the actor/actress didn't matter anymore. I sometimes suspect those scriptwriters are not xuanhuan novel fans at all, so they don't understand what make this genre so appealing for certain people.
Truth to be told, I have never found any successful xuanhuan novel genre (which Douluo Dalu fall into) drama adaptation. In the end, the scriptwriter always introduced too many change that butchered the original soul. Change is welcomed, but in moderation, and should not change the soul of the original novel. The change should enrich the story not otherwise. It was still fresh in my mind how Fight Break Sphere (adapted from Battle through the Heavens) was butchered beyond recognition. Perhaps it was a good drama for those who haven't read the novel, but for novel fans that drama was an abomination. No amount of good acting could save that drama for novel fans.
Based on the summary above, this drama seems to be followed the novel quite faithfully. However, the trailer actually didn't increase my confidence. Yes, it seems to have good production, but Tang San has a different aura compare to what has been depicted in the novel. But, lets see ..... I hope the drama at the very least will not butchered the cultivation system like it did in Fight Break Sphere.
Surprisingly this drama is quite good. Yu Men Long acting could be better, but he was quite alright in this drama. Also I saw that he had improved compared to The Love last Two Minds. I hope he can be even better in the future.
Fei Xing, the FL, was a pleasant surprise. This was my first time watching her drama and I think her acting was quite good. I hope she take another costume drama in the future.
Wow. As one comment mentioned, it's surprising how people try to bring Yuan Bingyan's name while talking about…
Did you really read my explanation above and not skipping certain part?!
I already told you that the direction of conversation has changed by the time meme and me responding to Mira Vong post about L&R CP fans current condition. It is a fact that L&R CP fans bashing Cheng Yi other FL co-star. In respond to that discussion trajectory, I stated that I like Zhang Yu Xi acting more than Yuan Bing Yuan to show that I am disagree that those fans that somehow think Cheng Yi should only act with Yuan Bing Yuan. Because I want him to act with other actress that in my opinion was better than Yuan Bing Yuan. This is South Winds drama thread where Zhang Yu Xi is the lead, so I use her as comparison.
And how exactly my comparing the acting skill of two actresses was rude? If you thought that Ayla Flower was not rude at all in expressing her wish for Zhang Yu Xi to be out the cast, then what I did was nothing compared with that.
Also, when did I ever blaming you and Jasmine for expressing your opinion?? When I talked about etiquette, I was talking about Ayla Flower first ever post in this conversation. I think I have made this clear in my previous post above.
Honestly, why were you so adamant in making as if we "hating" on CP fans because of their bashing action, was a bad thing that we should never do? Also, I noticed you were so sensitive yourself about something namely Yuan Bing Yuan. I only commented that I preferring someone else over her and you have gone ballistic.
You don't need to reply to my post and this will also be my last post in this conversation. In the end of the day this is South Winds knows My Mood drama thread which Zhang Yu Xi is the FL, however you dislike her. If you want to watch the drama, then you need to give her a chance. If you want to skip the drama, then I don't think complaining about her acting in her previous works will do anything.
This drama obviously has a sad ending so people who likes it gonna watch the other modern drama with the leads…
As long as he get the girl in the end, I am fine with sad ending. The Promise of Chang An has steeled my heart, hahahaha. Li Yan fate in romance department would not be worse that that of Cheng Xu.
Wow. As one comment mentioned, it's surprising how people try to bring Yuan Bingyan's name while talking about…
Okay, I think this conversation has gone overboard. The conversation was started by Ayla Flower who wanted Zhang Yu Xi to be out from the cast. Without any reason whatsoever. To be honest, first time I saw her comment, I thought of her to be a Zhang Yu Xi hater because of her fierce wording. Also it has been so long since I left L&R drama thread, so I was not familiar with you three users. The conversation went on and Ayla Flower talked about Zhang Yu Xi bad acting.
Mira Vong then thought of her to be a CP fans because, lets be honest, L&R CP fans have been wrecking havoc out there, bashing Cheng Yi other FL co-star. IF you think you are not them, then I am glad. Ayla Flower defended herself and then Mira Vong asked her of her actress preference if she was so adamant regarding Zhang Yu Xi. No answer.
Then meme and me, responding to Mira Vong post. By that time, the conversation has gone to different direction already. We were no longer talking about Ayla Flower, but the current state of L&R CP fans. Yuan Bing Yuan got into the conversation was also quite normal. I commented about Yuan Bing Yuan acting a bit which, citing your own words, was within my right to do so. And please be reminded, the conversation has gone on from Ayla Flower as the point to Mira Vong as the point. The conversation would have been died there with my post. But you and Jasmine continued on.
I agree that everyone are free to state their opinion. But there is still an etiquette that you need to follow. The fact about Zhang Yu Xi being a FL was more or less already set in stone by the time Ayla Flower posted her comment. Therefore, it was normal if her comment offended people here in the drama thread.
By the way, just let this conversation died here. It is pointless to continue. The problem was cleared. And no one here raging toward your disliking Zhang Yu Xi. The problem started from the wording of Ayla Flower who made her looked like hater or CP fans. And some of us here are rather sensitive toward L&R CP fans because we see how them bashing other FL that paired with Cheng Yi.
I liked her acting when she was traumatized by her memories with Wu Tong in L&R. And don't mind these critics…
Me, too. It was her acting in that particular section that made me willing to give her a chance. Not to mention she looks pretty good in Meng Xing Chang An trailer.
I think FL being Zhang Yu Xi is more or less set in stone already? Since we already had news of her arriving at Yunnan. So why is her profile is removed from the drama thread?
Regardless there are some people who against her casting, her being the FL is the final decision. Honestly, my experience with Zhang Yu Xi is only Love and Redemption. So I cannot relate with people below who raving about her previous dramas. However, I do think that all of you need to give her chance instead of vehemently reject her as if her being in the drama is akin to plague. She is not the best out there for sure. But, currently we have limited option for FL for Cheng Yi in my opinion. Unless he paired with veteran actress, any actresses from the same age group more or less are the same regarding acting quality.
To be honest, it is difficult to be a FL with Cheng Yi. The majority of actresses of the same age group as him don't have the same acting quality as him. In my experience of drama watching, I raged to lots of actresses because of their stiff acting. Even I don't spare Yang Zhi and Zhao Li Ying which are praised for their good acting. Yang Zhi in Ashes of Love disappointed me in certain scenes after Xu Feng death and Zhao Li Ying acting in Princess Agent turned me off.
But if I was to compare Yuan Bing Yuan with Zhang Yu Xi, I prefer Zhang Yu Xi based on their ability in emotional scenes in L&R. Any good actor/actress should be able to build chemistry with anyone they pair off.
I see that you finally reached at least episode 50, hahahaha.That posthumous title is consolation prize. Dead…
I would also love to see darker Cheng Xu that would not care too much about Ming Yu. Loving her gave him nothing but pain. All she knew to do was demand and demand from him. Except when she married Cheng Rui to save Cheng Xuan, I saw that she did nothing in active meaning in order to support him. She was so passive and in a way didn't care at all about Cheng Xu need of justice.
I see that you finally reached at least episode 50, hahahaha.That posthumous title is consolation prize. Dead…
I don't see her actively supporting Cheng Xu at all. She just didn't care about who gonna sit on the throne. And when she knew the secret edict, she never tried to think other way to get out of it but Qi Yuan becoming emperor. Her action during his son committed wrong after wrong also gave me bitter taste. I saw that after some time, she seemed to deliberately forgetting why her son was on the throne in the first place and started thinking that it was really Qi Yuan rightful position.
If Cheng Xu didn't somewhat fall sick in episode 48 and died in episode 50, do you think Ming Yu will ever protect Cheng Xu from his son? I doubt it. She never did and never will.
I literally couldn't stop crying when Chengxu died. I knew that would be his fate in this drama and he ended up…
I see that you finally reached at least episode 50, hahahaha.
That posthumous title is consolation prize. Dead person wants and needs nothing. It cannot absolve the sin that Qi Yuan has done. What I hate is that Ming Yu never once truly think that Cheng Xu is worth of the title. First she supported her husband claim to the throne. And next she supported her son's. She literally swept the fact of how both their husband and son got that position under the rug.
Even though I know people has the freedom to ship whomever they want, I think this behavior needs to stop. Si Feng and Xuan Ji are NOT Cheng Yi and Yuan Bing Yuan. They need to be able to separate character and actor.

I think his naivety really work to his favor in these variety since it endears him to the viewers, hahahaha.
