Her acting wasn't that bad but compared to other debut actors in Legend of Awakening it was really mediocre, especially…
Yea It's understandable. I don't hate her as much as other people, but one of those firm believers that if you're filming any sort of fan favourite novel adaptations that you should stay from idol actors as much as possible. It's not because they're bad, so many of them are hella talented, but when they don't have the experience and there are many other candidates who've trained years for this specific career of acting, casting should consider all options before Idols.
If only these republican series could do fictional names for the two different factions then they'd actually be watchable for people who dont want to be subjected to propaganda and just want to enjoy an honestly good series. Then again, I don't know, it might take out historical values of things. I can't comment much since even though I'm Chinese, I was born in Canada so I don't know the situations and stuff clearly enough.
Like otherwise though, this series is genuinely really good and well filmed, acted and directed.
Why would they compare them? Just b/c it's Wuxia and bl? Laughable. People are so narrow.
Yea I'm confused too, but just check the comment section of any Wuxia or Xianxia series on youtube and you're 100% gonna find a comment that says "Who came here because they missed Untamed? This isn't even as good".
1. Big fan of cinemtography. Everything is super smooth 2. Acting so far has been fine. Nothing cringe acting wise yet. 3. CGI is.... eh. First 10 minutes of the first episode gives you this chain extension CGI that looks like typical bad cdrama cgi, but what makes it slightly unbearable is how unnecessarily long the scene lasted. Not too much CGI yet, so it's watchable. 4. Plot has been okay. Has not hooked me in yet, but ill see if that changes after 1-3 episodes (and then again, barely any of the characters have been introduced fully yet).
I'll probably watch this in my free time to simply appreciate the cinematic scenes if the series has nothing else going for it later on.
I honestly have no problem with older actors playing younger characters, since they're usually more experienced and as the article said, bring depth to these loved characters.
But I have a massive grudge against "idol actors" (those who aren't originally actors but are able to get roles just because they're already popular or good looking) getting big roles for beloved and iconic characters, especially in cdrama land, when everyone knows they don't have the proper training/talent/experience to make these characters believable.
omg ıs her name in the talks?! oh what a shtty luck I have :cthis was one of the main reasons why I dıdnt wanted…
Yea her name pops up a lot in rumours. But her name is also showing up as rumours in a lot of other historical productions. Since historical productions take usually around half a year to film, let's just hope that the other ones are right and this one isnt.

I really need something light, easy and fluffy after this series hit my emotions like a train at full speed.
Now I just feel an empty void because they both deserved so much better.
Like otherwise though, this series is genuinely really good and well filmed, acted and directed.
Plot is eh.
Characters are eh.
Humour and other aspects are eh.
Cinematography is good. thats about it.

K.O One series is a very... weird yet entertaining series. Every season of it feels like a fever dream.
