Thanks for the links. I will cave in to listen to Sha Po Lang on my long walks.

There is actually a 2nd sequel to Yin Yang Master that was filmed. I'm not sure if Netflix bought it but for sure it won't air in China because of the tax evasion scandal with Deng Lun.

I'm the same. Other dramas hasn't helped distracting me. Nothing But You is the best so far to do that but I've been rationing it to wait for JITD. At least for me, two of Chen Xiao's dramas are rumored to air on the 6th and 25-27th. The latter being The Ingenious One - can't wait for it.

My original comment was focused on his performance and I was praising him. But that got lost and instead others decide to focus on another point.

I don't even understand why they only released 8 episodes and then stop altogether. I'm sure the Blackpink scandal caused some delay in re-editing certain frames (I read they had to go back to do that). At this point, I think it was multiple reasons that contributed to the hiatus. All the conferences are done and the rumors I see is that we don't need to wait long. Although I don't know how 'long' is not too long either.

It's not disrespectful to wish someone have a healthy weight but go ahead and be that sensitive.

My own theory- Youku is massively promoting Till the End of the Moon with Luo Yun Xi and Bai Lu. No doubt it will be a hit like Starry Love if not more. If they want to continue to keep JITD quiet, they would slip it in during their airing schedule which covers the rest of April and into early May. I know they are different genres but if the idea is to keep a low profile, perhaps this is the way to do it.

I know Luo Yun Xi puts in 110% in his roles particularly for xianxia/wuxia dramas. I just wished he put on some weight. He does nearly all of his stunt work and he has gotten injured before. He is very dedicated and hardworking. Seeing the BTS for some of his action scenes, it shows how much work he puts into it.

Trailer makes it look dark and seems like many times will be tear jerking for numerous couples. They are already showing some BTS clips even before the first episode is aired. Normally, we don't see the BTS till during the airing schedule. The CGI looks very good, production quality seems high. I expect this drama is met to be a big hit given the cast.

Leo Wu is a young actor only by age. He's been acting since he was like 5 years old. He has a lot of dramas under his belt. He has more acting experience than some of the matured FLs he's paired with. My theory with Leo Wu is that he has had great mentors during his acting career- most notably is Hu Ge. Leo does well even without a strong FL. If you saw him in Crossfire and Our Times - very light romance but extremely well with the bromance.

My biggest pet peeve is when FLs are absolutely powerless (unable to fight) and yet, they dash out to danger to be by MLs' side forcing the ML to always get hurt just to save the FL. I always cringe. The whole point of asking FL to stay put was to stay out of danger but here, twice, she goes out, gets caught and ML gets hurt. Sigh.

So much better than just 6 episodes a week and then wait for 3-4 days of nothing but trailer clips to survive. They should ALL have airing schedules like this.

I'm watching Go Ahead and Tu Song Yan...best Chinese dad characters ever and here he's even funnier with his talking to the wigs and all.

I don't get why ML hasn't gotten rid of her. Clearly, their marriage was one of convenience/purpose but for what, I don't know. He said he will separate from her in time but what is the right time, sigh.

I like this airing schedule. Can see Wu Lei everyday and not just 3-4 days a week

I''m a big Wu Lei fan but I have reservations about this type of drama. I'm giving it a try as I trust that Wu Lei has good taste on the script he has chosen. I like them all but Guardians. I do enjoy he's tackling new genres and challenging roles. I personally like him in a period drama as opposed to modern but certain modern I can handle (Crossfire and Our Times) were brillant. I just hesitate when it's more of a romance than sports. I will keep an open mind. How are the first few episodes though?

Latest rumor I saw is that there is still an upcoming conference between March 30th and April 1st...that could be the hold up.

Maybe the evil twin will come back and she is obsessed with ML so probably that will eat up a few episodes. Just my guess.

I personally prefer Romance over Royal Rumors. My attention is barely grabbing on Royal Rumors but it's enough for me to keep watching.

I don't think he actually didn't care if she was held hostage like that. He likely thought she was part of the group that kept on assassinating him. If she was part of their group, the masked men wouldn't hurt her. He said that he suspected she was in on it until he interrogated her and had doubts. For me, he's not likeable but he's not hated either. We actually don't know much about him as an individual.
