JBR didn't quit after filming 2 weeks He didn't film any scene at all FYI Before start filming , JBR gave this…
Uhhhh he didn't give it to Wang Anyu, he doesn't have the power and is just an actor not a casting director. The producers did that.
There was rumors that Jing Boran quit and left the set because he was unhappy with not being first billed https://youtu.be/OY8YmmkxFEs but now you can understand that he probably thought the role was unsuitable or unfavorable for him. Lol @ the silly Wang Yibo rumors, if he joined he would definitely demand first billing as a movie actor and he would never take a FL-centric drama where his role is merely to help her gain sympathy in the first place anyway
FYI Gu Jin's original actor is Jing Boran who quit last minute after agreeing to film but I see why, the ML role has 0 upside and is downright dislikeable so most actors will not want to do it. Wang Anyu came at short notice to "save the set" aka 救场 so he's done well, his age helps in portraying Gu Jin's foolishness.
Chinese audiences have seen all types of Xianxias so TLI's production feels too "assembly line" and isn't very unique, all the tropes are meant to push the FL played by Lusi (saves ML, dies due to ML, is cute when reborn, then gets hurt by ML again) over the ML but audiences won't like a show without a good CP and the ML is not likeable. For a show to be good both leads need to be likeable; in China especially, the FL determines if a drama's 1st few eps will be watched but the ML determines if a drama goes viral e.g. romance or fight scenes on Douyin. I can see why Lusi took this role i.e. her character is the only likeable one in the show, but it's so deliberate that the drama is a vehicle for only her that it's hard to watch, none of the side characters is compelling? On the upside neutrals aren't really arsed to criticise TLI, it's mostly just apathy so only Lusi fans will watch which may help the ratings.
The contrast is interesting how this show is loved in China and Internationally people hating on it for the most…
The show isn't loved in China, a lot of earlier vlogger's reviews are calling the plot illogical and typical or boring for xianxia. The ML isn't really attractive too.
Still most people aren't really arsed to criticise TLI for being meh, there's just an air of apathy so in time the only people talking about it will be the fans and those who like it, perhaps that will help the ratings?
I’m in ep 5/6 and I liked the drama till the scene where FL tries to force herself on the ML and kisses him…
❗Character Analysis❗ Ruyi's still very naive on relationships, it's obvious she's attracted to NYZ from Day 1 (she faints into his arms) but doesn't know how to express it so she thinks of what her benefactor once said about "not falling in love with men but having kids" and decides to seek NYZ out as a sperm donor only bc the Empress said "don't fall in love". It's foolish but as NYZ told Yuan Lu, Ruyi hasn't learnt to follow her heart and was taught to follow orders all her life.
BUT anyone who isn't an emotionally stunted assassin like Ruyi can see that she likes NYZ romantically, even NYZ himself so he tries to convince her to have a real relationship with him first before thinking about babies 😂
Eventually Ruyi is forced to think about what she actually wants from a relationship (in ep 18 she tells NYZ that she doesn't want to live in seclusion together but wants to help other Scarlet Guard women) because as an assassin Ruyi has never thought about 1) What is Love 2) What do I want from a relationship 3) Do I want to marry and have a family? etc and due to her own growth arc, the baby may not happen at all once she realizes how silly it is to have a child just because someone she respects said so...
I saw spoiler clips on youtube that I posted on Twitter and here is what I'm pretty sure is going to happen in…
Keep in mind that LTG thinks Yang Ying is a male prince and doesn't know her gender so seeing his Teacher hug a male disciple so intimately made him jealous and upset because Ruyi treats LTG like they are strangers and pretends they don't know each other. He thought he got abandoned by Ruyi, that's why LTG threw tea on Ruyi's face in the trailer even though he knew it was wrong to do that to his Teacher. He was just super pissed lol
I’m on ep 5 and 6 why is the FL suddenly obsessed with having a child with the ml?

Sorry but she's way more accomplished than Bai Lu.... Her nickname in China is 一姐/#1 Sister (her labelmate…
Well I find such gossipy discussions very distateful and some of you should delete your comments.
Nicky Wu gets a lot of hate from her fans & neutrals because he was divorced, deemed old & ugly, and "not good enough" for her and her fans hated that she took a break from acting to have their kid. Even recently cnetz keep speculating if she will divorce her "elderly" husband since she is still popular. LSS once said in reference to her marriage that "only the people inside a relationship know if they are happy or not" i.e. all the bad rumors about her marriage is useless.
IMO over the years it's obvious that LSS's real personality is VERY easygoing compared to other female stars e.g. her bestie Yangmi, she just isn't someone who divorces for frivolous reasons e.g. because her husband is old or if her fans dislike Nicky. There are a lot of videos about Yangmi's feud with Tangren Media and how Cecilia was caught in the middle as Yangmi's BFF but maintained good relations with her boss Karen Tsoi, Tangren's #1 artiste Hu Ge, and still is friendly with YangMi today despite a lot of friction in the past. Unlike Zhao Liying, Angelababy, Reyizha and YangMi she is someone who is clearly very loyal and placating to everyone around her so I doubt she will divorce Nicky even if their marriage goes stale. Even her fans say she is above all else, a dutiful person who will see promises and marriage vows something she needs to abide by faithfully above her individual desires, especially now that she has a kid. And as much as I hate gossip I do agree with Cecilia's Cfans assessment of her personality and why she isn't the type to get divorced.
At first I wanted Oliver Chen but I guess Cheng Yi suits the role to a tee. Wang Quan Fu Gui is a Taoist priest and he suffers a lot to protect Qing Tong, we all know Cheng Yi spits blood well 😂
Spoiler from the leaked script: LTG isn't a villain and doesn't burn the world down, he wants peace between both countries and is willing to do everything to get power so An & Wu stop fighting.
He is obsessed with RRY though but in other matters he is sober lol. Spread the word.

People really should delete their comments jeez instead of losing their minds or speculating about divorce.
The above was extensively discussed by cnetz lol

The 2 choreographer dudes demonstrating the action scenes are hilarious.
