Another tidbit: 1990er Wang Yixu the producer CEO of Stellar Media https://wiki.d-addicts.com/Category:Stellar_Media is a fanboy of Tangren Media and the Chinese Paladin series which he watched as a teen. Thus when Stellar Media bought the rights to Fox Spirit Matchmaker, he decided to cast YangMi, Cecilia Liu, Cristy Guo to reunite them. His Xianxias are very vibrant, see LBFAD and Love You Seven Times
Sorry but she's way more accomplished than Bai Lu.... Her nickname in China is 一姐/#1 Sister (her labelmate Hu Ge is 一哥 at Tangren or #1 Bro) bc she was the top actress of Tangren Media, one of the top Cdrama production firms in the 2000s-10s, and starred in a lot of hit dramas like Scarlet Heart, Chinese Paladin, Vigilantes in Mask, Condor Heroes, Imperial Doctress, Xuan Yuan Sword, The Young Warriors, Sound of the Desert etc
Her other nickname is 天选古人 because she fits costume dramas to a tee and and looks like she walked out of an ancient painting. Even after having a kid she's still gorgeous and better at wuxia fight scenes than younger actresses because of her dance background, and her acting has improved she actually looks believably womanly and seductive now lol.
Liu Shishi is so beautiful in this 😍😭 Chinese netizens are basically saying that the 85 flowers e.g. Jing Tian, Yang Mi, Zanilia Zhao, Crystal Liu, Ni Ni are still dominating ancient dramas after even after motherhood and 15-20 years after their debuts because younger actresses just can't compare to them in terms of stunts and fight scenes. These jiejies are so awesome 🤩
Who cast her in this drama? Casting director was blind: she has a snake face and creepy smile..Looks like a 40yrs…
Apparently according to people on Douyin, she is the granddaughter of Ye Jianyinghttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_Jianying , the reason SOKP could air despite Jacky Zhou prostesting CCP on Weibo was because of her connections and apparently she is an investor into the drama too.
FL here is one of the smartest of Dramaland but just because she made ONE mistake, which was not entirely her…
Women especially Asian women, are often misogynistic to other women and judge them harshly while making excuses for toxic males 🤢 Asian culture is patriarchal and influenced by Confucianism/Islam/Hinduism/Conservatism so many women internalize patriarchy/misogyny to believe men are above reproach, Boys Will Be Boys and indirectly hate on other women as a competitive reflex.
In SOKP the female lead get raped by Yan Lin (and self blames that it's her fault.... because Asia) and female viewers here still blame her for shunning Xiewei's controlling and jealous behavior despite her fears and apprehensions. In the book Xiewei pretty much r*pes her in a later chapter yet they end up together sigh
Well since ZLH dramas are being dropped ... don't you think Eternal Faith should be dropped anytime soon? I'm…
It's illegal to do that or people will just make banned movies about politics and sell it abroad to circumvent CCP no? You think the people in government are stupid? lol
The fight scenes in this drama have been great so far! I loved the last parts of episode 22 when mass fighting broke out, it was very realistic and brutal. The prison fight scenes were good too.
Also if they stick to the novel JXN will reject XW a few times due to her apprehensiveness over their past life interactions but he is very persistent, forces himself on her a few times and even selfharms until she relents. There is a lot of push and pull before they end up together but he gives up everything for her in the end awww
Zhang Zhe is getting so much hate as a character here when he basically helped the FL in her 1st life and got implicated. If we do a literature analysis he is basically a role model to the FL to be a better person and inspires the FL to chase after "goodness" in a 2nd life because she wants to date ZZ and tries to mirror his values. ZZ is how you want uncorrupt civil servants to be and how they should be, i.e. he isn't there to tickle your panties.
If there was no ZZ the FL may not realise the error of her ways since she was selfish in her 1st life and betrayed her sister and friends, but only saw the light when ZZ got jailed. The reason why he reincarnated is to give the FL impetus to change.
so, what's the purpose for his reincarnation? Ning improved herself and isn't selfish as before(although she's…
He helped her in her first life and went to jail, he is basically the reason why she turns over a new leaf in her 2nd life and why she desires to be a better person. Because he is her role model.
AFAIK the rumoured actors are completely false. The IP rights of this novel got bought by a small unknown company that doesn't have the ability to make a drama (even if they do it'll be low budget) so people are waiting for the time limit to expire or for another bigger company to buy it from them.
