asphyxia

i discovered this drama thru weibo memes about the cover, it's rare for the SML to be sandwiched between the couple with a miserable look 🤣

there are probably requests to add but if the website sources submitted aren’t considered reliable it won’t pass so depends

filming will start April 8th

"I want this chicken" entices me to start the drama now even though im tryna save up the episodes

7 years since princess agents, hopefully this fills the void

famous novel trope that allows the plot to continue lol

filming hasnt even begun, planned to start shooting in april so itll be more than a year 🙃

there are several arcs in the drama which ends up giving the main leads each like 3-4 names so i guess they wont list em all 🤷‍♀️

sadly air dates never come out this early, earlist would be end of this year but most likely early next year since s+ iykyk

i remember watching battle of changsha and seeing yangzi & niujunfeng as a funny sibling duo, is he the second male lead now??

dont feel bad for seeing the similarity lol, a lot of people on weibo agree too

it's also possible the adaptation made it more romcom like instead of tragedy, who knows 🤷‍♀️

in the novel bai shuo's sister dies, father dies, and she ran away from the marriage arranged with the second male lead but he still treats her earnestly and is willing to do anything for her safety (using military command w/o permission lands him and his family in trouble). she likes him platonically and feels guilty that he's helped her so much but the male lead easily gets jealous seeing this and doesn't want FL and SML to always be together. there's separation and reunion over and over yadda yadda yadda

there are a lot of concise novel summaries on douyin. ik that the script may change a bit since the actual novel isn't finished, but don't be fooled by the romcom like trailer (bound to be a loooooooooooooooooooooooot of angst) mini spoiler plot points below

since the show has wrapped up i have no more reuters to look for 💀

cast is set, funny how the characters name are 李衡门 (li heng men) and 白有狐 (bai you hu) hence the drama title

https://wiki.d-addicts.com/Zhang_Cheng_Lang drama wiki is reliable and Mel usually accepts edits credited to this website bc it uses info from bai du (chinese google)

https://mydramalist.com/people/18108-zhang-hao-xiang he has a page but the drama just hasn't been added to his list

i just meant that the main leads are 20 and 21 in the novel, so young love scripts arent usually top pick for 85 actors. EX yangmi and zhaoliying who are also 85 actresses havent recently picked roles meant to be teens or college age

airing dates never confirmed while filming, some dramas are lucky and air within a year of filming out some are out on hold for more than that
