Actor can both smile and not smile = versatile 🙃. The bar is on the ground

The fact that you know that much about all of the actresses on my list and their personal lives at first glance is wild. And the fact that you're defending nepotism is even more wild. GXT is being paid insane amounts of money and doing the bare minimum. Keep bootlicking

Girl my favorites list is not who I am talking about, you're wasting your time going through and analyzing all of them 😂. And they have nothing to do with the fact that Guan Xiaotong is 100% a nepo baby and a bad actor

Nope

Sure, you're entitled to that. She still is only ahead because of her connections. She's done about as many projects as her contemporaries with most of them being bad. She's only had a couple of roles with merit and those were supporting roles. The projects where she's the lead are, for the most part, extremely forgettable. But let's forget about all of that. She still is not a good actress, mediocre at best. And her looks lag behind the other actresses of her generation as well. Yeah, my comment is totally negative. And I stand by it. But it's annoying seeing an actress who really doesn't deserve the fame and acclaim she has when there are other really great actresses out there without her backing who aren't able to get ahead in the industry.

Yep. Not a fan.

I'm all about this. I love them both

The kiss when the dude was essentially assaulting the princess was infinitely spicier than any kiss between the leads. What gives? It is 2024, I so thought we were past such lame kisses. I'd rather no kisses at all than such bland, chemistry deficient, emotionless ones. Honestly the chemistry overall between the leads is lacking in this drama and is the least compelling aspect of the story. But I'm persisting because I like the dynamics between the whole delegation (princess, the four boys, ML, and FL).

I've despised Tang Yan's acting in every project I've seen of hers but people raved about her in Blossoms Shanghai so here's to hoping she's had some kind of resurgence and is finally putting effort into her craft

It feels like the quality of the writing has gone down since they've gotten to An state. I hope it picks back up again.

Omg that would be wild. Poor HIY would be cursed to never get the girl then 😭

I don't think my opinion is the only one that counts? I didn't go on to other people's comments who were excited for this and tell them not to be. You guys came here, not the other way around.

I watched and she forgave them extremely quickly. I know why she came back, I mentioned her still caring about the ML and the princess. But this made watching very jarring. We're all of a sudden back to the boys being silly like nothing ever happened when she literally almost died because of their actions. I'm not even saying they were wrong to do what they did, because I understand where they were coming from. BUT we needed far more time to resolve this conflict. They sped through this when it should have been given way more care.

This has been my biggest gripe forever. I don't mind a childhood connection trope at all as long as it is known and acknowledged and not some dumbass secret that magically makes the couple fall in love.

Yeah like the other poster said One Spring Night isn't really a noona cuz their characters are the same age and it's believable. I personally hate noona romances but it's a really good drama

Ep 13 mom bringing her kids to the brothel😭

I thought the same thing. I've dropped other dramas like Kunning Palace and Fighting for Love because of how bad the editing and dubbing were. But I stuck with AJTL and it has either gotten better or I've gotten used to it and now I'm loving it 13 episodes in

The whole, three members of the delegation almost killing Ruyi and her coming back almost immediately, really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm hoping that deep down she really doesn't trust those three anymore. I don't care how silly or cute they act now, I'm so annoyed. I understand her still caring for the little princess and NYZ and Yuan Lu, but her coming back and barely holding onto this grudge is pissing me off.

Is 82 the year you were born? If so, why tf are you here? 42 year old ass british man named paul chiming in on a girls high school drama

Totally. And I understand people can watch the new one and enjoy it thoroughly especially if they haven't seen the original. I just have concerns. Contrary to popular belief, I would love it if this remake ended up being great. I love the story and I really like BHS. He has such a sweet demeanor in his acting, I think he'll be a great second lead.
