I remember this was supposed to be 12 episodes long when they first announced it. I wonder if that has something to do with the dragginess.

Yeah. Very weird. Youtube version viewers missed out on that little banter addressing Yanei's new look 😂

I totally get it. Kat Morson was 16 too when she was paired with the then 29 year-old Film in The Sixth Sense 2. But she looked like she was in her 20s during that time so I don't really feel the huge age gap. Charlette here look her age so it's very hard to look past it.

They should've swapped the one playing Huang with the actor playing Nop. I mean, the Wad-Nop siblings look more Chinese than him.

Pheww! I thought he's the daddy. She sure doesn't deserve that kind of father.

Thanks! I need to get ready from now on, I guess.

Are we going to have bitchy 2nd female lead in this?

The least you can do when sharing links to illegal sites is to put them in spoiler.

I actually think the English title aptly described Tian Yao & Yan Hui's journey. They literally came back from the brink. I rejoice when I first saw the English title because 1) it's not a boring, generic one & 2) it's related to the main plot.

Because it was supposed to be 16 episodes but they cut 2 episodes due to low ratings.

Seems like he's rumoured to be in Douluo Continent 2 instead? A win for everyone I guess 😉

A Familiar Stranger is a costume drama. There's Guyuan Imperial College too but I don't really enjoy that one.

Cheng Lei is pretty good too. You might want to try his A Familiar Stranger if you haven't seen it.

Designed for those with shorter attention span/something that you can casually watch while having lunch. Nothing wrong with more variety of dramas. There are still tons of new or older normal duration ones out there (with or without subs). If you dislike these mini dramas then you aren't their target market.

Deng Kai filmed this show a month or two after he finished shooting The Bald Man where he was, well, bald. I believe he wore wigs for scenes of him with longer hair.

Nah. His Intense Love & TROTAR did clash. Still remember his "May boyfriend" moniker back then & how some fans are mad because he went to variety shows to promote IL with the FL, but none for TROTAR (definitely not his fault though).

So far it seems like the ML has a crush on the FL (probably for a long time?). No sign of any secondary couple yet though.

It actually went back all the way during Scarlet Heart's heyday.

This. The only good thing that came out from watching this (for me, at least) is the discovery of Deng Kai 😂
