HE IS IN THIS?! Please tell me he's going to be throughout the show! I am such a fan. It's a crying shame he doesn't…
Thank you for explaining. I am in the mood for something tongue-in-cheek. I am yet to watch Episode 4 and beyond. The drama has so many familiar faces, and everybody has brought their A-game. I have been a FSQ fan for a long time. He deserves to do dramas that need depth of character. Unfortunately, C-Ent usually doesn't work on merit. Some of my most favourite Chinese actors and actresses are forever stuck playing second fiddle. 🤷🏼♀️
TBH, her char in the book wasn't that good (IMO). She's kind of righteous. Both her & WD's sect fell, so she's…
It sucks that the cast and crew are made to pay for cancellation of one person. I don't however approve of cancel culture. The ones who actually ought be cancelled, never are. And I admit, I absolutely love GJM's direction and nod to goth style cinematography. I love dark undertones and overall bleak picturisation, LOL. I just hope WD keeps doing niche roles, however, as the main lead. I don't want to watch run of the mill love stories. One of my most favourite romances from China was not a romance, LOL. *Will try to hunt for the clips you mentioned. 😊

Canx? I read somewhere that WD's absence is also due to his agency and GJM not willing to promote him. It sucks. Such a repository of talent. The C-Ent cannot hide behind the silly excuse that he's not good looking. It blows my mind as to why they wish for uniformity in physical appearances. The more unconventional looks are straight away deemed as unattractive. WD's looks are oddly enough both conventional and unconventional. Usually, no matter how physically attractive an actor is, I cannot bear to watch them if they cannot act. Not taking names, but an extremely popular actor comes to mind who can't act to save his life. If only WD or someone else had done his roles, I would have started a few of the series that I know I would have really enjoyed.
The guys are emotional because one has his life-planned revenge out the window and the other was betrayed by the…
I agree. Even though, I think CSB is a really good actress, that entire scene of confrontation was so iffy. The original PSE vs. PDJ and fake PSE confrontation felt flat, and CSB looked like they all were discussing the weather. Her expression instead of being subtle, almost looked like she was anticipating the next scene.
that's good in my opinion haha, people who haven't watched it can start it now and be able to catch next week,…
Chinese standards for physical appearances are laughable. This drama has a very good looking cast who don't look like they just stepped out of a salon. I find many C-actors beautiful who are not considered attractive in China. The kind of looks they find attractive are not always my cup of tea. 🤷🏼♀️ In this drama, school children look like school children and young adults look like they have just started adulting so I don't understand the complaints.
I feel nostalgic while watching this show. Mark Ma's debut drama was my gateway to CDramas. Even as a very young child in his first acting role, he was incredible. The rest of the cast is good too. ZKL was really good in one of his first shows. Always felt he had potential. These two feel so organic as siblings, with years of hurt between them. The way HJH follows HJS around in the annoying, endearing way younger siblings do is a treat to watch. I love the village setting. We usually don't get such slice-of-life settings in modern CDramas. Love that the colours don't pop in the artificial way they do in many other CDramas. HJH's room and the overall house looks like it's lived in and not a set. Other areas like the gym, too, looks like someplace where the local youth exercises and hangs out. Kudos to the production team and all others involved in the making of this drama.
