I’ve waited for SLY since Sept ‘22, and it exceeded my expectation. I’m following Qiyi schedule, wt🥭 unlocking all eps this Friday, TOO MUCH spoilers have flooded in. We’re are starting the arc where TLC confronts his past, and I want to savor every moment slowly without knowing what’s coming. The scriptwriter is brilliant.
Despite fierce competition and a non -summer vacation airing, the data has been really good—esp Mango only has 8–12% market share and Migu views not even counted anywhere. I won’t be updating anymore. SLY is 💪
Among TLC’s 5 companions, from novel to screen, Chi Yun is my favorite. The actor brought him to life better than the original. Every time he appears, the atmosphere lifts.
Among the actresses, Ms. Hong’s actress impressed me most. my 1st time seeing her, and she nailed Ms. Hong character. An actor’s job is to serve the role, whether protagonist or antagonist—and she did just that. For me, she’s the best actress in this drama.
We have many seasoned actors in SLY, and as expected, they delivered. Regardless of limited screen time a good actor can shine, looking at you Jeremy, so little screen time but impactful, GMD is Eerie.
Luo Yunxi—he’s a master of complex character creation, with a deep understanding of his roles. Many directors, screenwriters, novel authors, and producers have all spoken about how LYX’s grasp of character has surprised them since 7 yrs ago. Luo Yunxi has earned a reputation in the industry for elevating his character beyond his character script. The more complex the better.
As LYX himself says: “AT THE END, AFTER ALL THE NOISE IS GONE, WHAT REMAINS IS CHARACTER” He knows his job: to serve the role better than script, to create Classics.
I can't get enough of ZDL arc one of them because this is their most beautiful time together and even more for…
He did as Chu Mo in Tteotm, but it was too short. A modern drama with him as serial killer would be awesome, but I don't think he will accept that kind of script. He has consistently shared that the characters he portrays deeply influence his real self. As he and each role grow together, experience emotions in together. Every character is shaping and enriching him.
On the 2nd, we might get it with his next drama: Chang An paper and Ink
SLY : The venerable ones and ShizunShadow Punisher/Phantom detective: Moran and Shizun. And wait till you get…
Agree, but imo: This drama is a celebration for LYX himself, after a decade fighting the cruel C ent alone relying on his exceptional talents. He deserves to have this beautiful drama under his belt.
A Li’s love for Fang Zhou runs deep. Throughout his time in mortal world, A Li repeatedly said he wants to live
• He escaped his world to live • He told the Abbot he wants to live and save himself. • He told Puzhu he wants to live • He told Shen Langhun that everyone must try their best to live. • He told Shui Duopo that everyone has the right to live—including himself.
But when faced with the ultimate choice between his own life and Fang Zhou’s, A Li chooses Fang Zhou.
Because Fang Zhou is everything to him: the man who gave him humanity, his master, his brother, his father. A Li loves him deeply. Liu Yan comes second
I’m not someone who’s into shipping culture.When I watch a drama, I just like it if the two characters have…
I can't get enough of ZDL arc one of them because this is their most beautiful time together and even more for TLC. And ZDL arc is LYX best acting in his drama along with the text book level acting when he was frozen in ice cave.
lol different genre. this is not wuxia but xuanxia. fantasy martial art. even the male lead not human.
Fox is his nickname—he's an alien. This is Wuxia blends with sci-fi. You will see star wars moments, X men like characters, Journey to the east. The setting is like Marvel infused Wuxia fantasy. The 1st of it's kind in Costume Drama. Def not MLC - wuxia.

From SLY variety show: When Luo Yunxi discovered Allen Fang plays Liu Yan, he immediately looked him up online and found out Allen’s a talented singer. Since Lyx loves to sing, he quickly planned to invite Allen for a karaoke session during filming in his RV. He also checked other cast members who could sing well to join his RV karaoke session.
Reminder tomorrow, 2nd episode of SLY variety shows will air on Mango TV app, YT Eng subs a few days after.
both are new actresses and both are doing a wonderful job. Jelly who just won a reward as one of the youngest…
Let's get this corrected: Lin Yun is not new actress while Bao is a newcomer, she has been acting since 2015-2016 as a movie star, much higher status than anyone else in this cast (except for Ms Hong Actress, she too started as movie star)
And If you want to justify her acting, please do Lin Yun a favor, at least revise and omit A Dream of Splendor and replace it with Les Belles (where she has improved). Her acting in ADoS is terrible.
Hope she can improve her acting, otherwise it is a pity for someone as beautiful as she is.

More than a dozen government tourism boards across China have released videos promoting scenic spots inspired by WoF—from Chengdu to Guilin, Beijing to Xi’an, and Tibet to Shaanxi.
Meanwhile, the national tourism board, in collaboration with China Mobile, is spotlighting the color palette featured in SLY with the iconic Patola Palace in Lhasa, Tibet • Red – Red Wedding & King Sword City • Gold – Gold Leaf Temple • White – Billou Palace • Black – Thirteenth Floor A well made documentary exploring the palace and its color symbolism, narrated by LYX, is now streaming on Migu Video. Episode 4 with English subtitles was released today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvCdvSyJMk&list=PLDWJ213d2UcpGtL0FCax3lJ7I3DIhmyGS&index=4
Is Bao ShangEn the FL? Wow I need to know which agency is she from. She is really newcoming lead actress. Starting…
Abt bao and billing for 3 actresses is it is tricky here, explained bellow Jeremy is a guess star here and not support actor. No FL here, all 3 actress the same status.
Bao, In China esp now the fastest way for newcomers to land good projects is by signing with a major platform. Bao, should be one of them with Tencent. If a platform is willing, her agency can sell her performing right to platform which takes an additional 35–45% cut from the artist’s fees, for everything incl. endorsement etc. Signing with platform guarantees steady roles and promotion to FL, and still allow to take non platform drama. if a newcomer like Bao is landing strong projects with good pairings, it means the platform and her agency see potential and willing to promote her.
Chen Yao has been in the industry for years. After limited promotion from her previous agencydespite a breakout role, in ’21 CY joined LYX agency— ZSTC, a move her fans heavily questioned, as ZSTC was known as the almost bankrupt tiny breakfast shop with only LYX and 2 unknown singers. But after 4 years of saving and not investing in LYX’s promotion, ZSTC acquired its first IP—this drama—and insert itself as producer/co producer in all of LYX’s projects. They later bought an IP for Chen Yao ("My Cousin Hanfu"), but Tencent chose another FL. Still, Chen Yao as ZSTC 1st F artist, received better promotion but ZSTC is tiny compared to giants like Huanrui or Huace and others.
Lin Yun began her career at the top, debuting as a FL in a film by acclaimed director Stephen Chow. She continued to star in movie, but her movie career eventually stalled, prompting her to shift to TV dramas. Her first major TV role was a support role in Dream of Splendor alongside Liu Yifei. WoF is her second big production costume drama. After WoF finished filming, she got her 1st Costume drama FL role in with Allen (Liu Yan), aired before WoF.
So between new rising star with many FL projects, producer own experienced actress and a previously a movie star that surely will create a lot of fights. So they group them together alphabetically while the M are based on screen time.
