I had to skip everything with Prince Xin at the end. Just super annoying. No explanations about basically anything.…
Right?! Never felt so disgusted with a character before. Prince Xin is a first lol. The things he did truly made me speechless. Worst part is, this character isn’t like this in the novel. Don’t understand the ppl who claim to have experienced second lead syndrome or feel bad for him lol.
Do the leads have chemistry?I'm on episode 11 and wonder if there will be some chemistry at all?
Their chemistry will show later when she falls for him. But in early parts of the show, she’s mostly focused on power. It has to do with their character set up. Their relationship is slow burn. But when they fall for each other, they’re really sweet. Personally I don’t think their chemistry lose to the second couple at all. Keep watching!
I'm actually so proud of him. It wasn't easy for him and his fans. He gets targeted by marketing accounts and…
He has a historical drama coming up, Reborn of the Rightful. But no new projects confirmed yet. He said he's still looking for scripts. It's just industry is in a slump right now. He prob doesn't have much options either. I think he's one of those versatile actors who is suitable for both modern and period dramas, so whatever projects he films, I'll just trust his judgement and choice.
His role in *Blossom of Power* reached a character popularity score of over 100 million despite him having a relatively…
I'm actually so proud of him. It wasn't easy for him and his fans. He gets targeted by marketing accounts and haters since the start of this drama, but he never bothered buying hot searches or anti-hate marketing. He accepted all criticism with a positive attitude, focused on promoting his drama and let his character do the talking. Xiao Hua Yong won over quite a lot of passerby. Many discovered him from BOP and went to checked out his other works.
It's not that he was hesitant to take on lead roles in costume dramas, it's more like he didn't have much opportunities. He has to audition to earn his roles unless he gets chosen like in SAL (thank you script writer) and BOP (thank you Meng Zi YI). In fact, his first roles that attracted audience's attention were both costume/ historical dramas (Dashing Youth and Legend of Shen Li), but he was playing supporting roles so they can't count as his representative works. Despite the fact that he gained fans, his company didn't promote him well afterwards. So he gets forgotten quickly. But I hope his career goes uphill from now on and hope he gets better scripts with reliable production teams.
the way XHY's son said to him "I waited for u to come, but u never came" I was like dude u r just 4 years…
That’s prob bc in the novel, XHY technically disappeared for 8 years. But the drama tends to toned down things a lot esp. when it comes to the main leads. The script writer didn’t do a good job rounding things in a logical way.
How about ML and his understanding of "no means no"?f'n hypocrites.
ML has been respecting FL since the beginning. He understands her wishes and her boundaries. He lets her be who she wants to be without trying to control her or pry into her secrets. Unlike Prince Xin who never asks her what she wanted and just keep being obsessed despite her clearly telling him to stop. Also Stay polite please! No need to curse other netizens for a fictional character.
Has he signed any new projects ?? Usually how much gap do they get between projects ?? Do they film simultaneously?
He hasn’t signed anything yet. He said he’s still choosing scripts the last news we have. Sometimes it could take a long time before next project is confirmed. These days the industry is in a slump.
Dear Xia Hua Yong,I need you to know that I never saw you coming.I normally don't fall for a face like yours.…
That was beautifully written. Xiao Hua Yong is a complex character and his relationship with SXH is very impactful on his motivations and will of living.
this drama doesn't impress me in terms of chemistry romance between the leads but the plot is a 10/10... this…
It was never marketed as a Wuxia drama as far as I know. It’s idol period drama with a focus on romance and court politics. The leads’ relationship is leaning more on the slow burn, push and pull side. Not the typically fast-paced, exciting, light-hearted type of romance due to character set up.
I would've dropped this drama if it weren't for Bu and Cui unlike the main leads Xihe and Huayong they have a…
The leads also have good chemistry, they just vibe differently. The FL’s set up is cold and ruthless, doesn’t care about love other than her own success. A total career oriented type of woman. But eventually warms up to Xiao Hua Yong who moved her heart. It’s a slow burn process in the novel too. Doesn’t mean she has no feelings for him. She starts to show concern and care for him in the new episodes. In the lead’s relationship, we can see the beauty of persistence and upmost dedication, balancing with mutual respect and understanding between the partners. It’s because of the ML’s unwavering love and support that FL starts to change her attitude. It touches way deeper themes, far more than just light-hearted romance. For those who skip the rest of the drama and just watch the second couple clips, they’re surely missing out on this subtle and beautiful relationship.
I dropped this drama last week. Why is the rating so high? The plot was very generic.
Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean others can’t enjoy it. It’s adapted from an existent novel. Its normal that the core plot has similarities to other shows. But interesting characters, performances and good visuals among other factors can still attract viewers. If it’s not your cup of tea, feel free to move on.
FL already likes ML but can't/won't admit it. She admires him for his character and his opposite personality of…
I saw from a comment that this is his first important role after he came back to industry from hiatus. Prince Xin in the novel isn’t that much of a creep as in the drama tbh. He was just obsessed but not to a toxic level. The script writer changed his character set up a lot to give him more screentime. Some novel fans weren’t happy about that.
do you need to have an active subscription to see the reserve button? i'm not seeing the button though i see the…
I think you need to create an account with the platform if I’m not mistaken. Not sure about Youku but that’s how it is for WeTV. So I guess you do need subscription. But I won’t recommend paying until the drama is airing. So far there’s still no news 😢
