is this the first Tang dynasty makeup for you? my first time I was not used to it too

I think it's his acting. You can play a character an audience hates the character but love the performance.

A lot of viewers don't care for 2ML. I don't think it's the role, it's the acting. He's not convincing. If Lin Mu Ran played the 2ML, there would be more depth. But it's still early.

I’m just thinking this through. It seems likely that Bai Lu and Xu Kai can’t make any moves until their contracts officially expire. That would mean no negotiating future projects, no being approached by others, and no setting up a studio in advance.

If they want a clean, complication‑free exit, they probably have to stay put, finish every existing commitment, and wait it out.

You need to ask

It’s . She can be nasty and still charmed you.

I think it’s his acting more than writing. He doesn’t come across convincing.

The story is slower in the front to set the stage so as pace catches up the heat should rise. The director and screenwriter work well together. They’re saving the best for later. It will definitely break 28k. Over 28k is excellent

Typical delusional character the toxic kind

Story has fantasy elements

This story is more grounded than most except prince jing is typical mentally unstable and not convincing

Isn’t her character supposed to be very sad. That’s why they make it cheerful in early episodes

I don't know anything about SOTB so I appreciate your insight into the character.
I too hope Xu Kai continue to mix it up and do everything. I like to see him in all kinds of roles.

he wasn't very convincing either

the original scriptwriter said she spent an entire year, and the project was chosen as S or S+ whatever that is, based on her script but right before filming they trashed her work and hired a new writer the director has worked with before to start over with a new script. They literally changed everything, so she didn't' get any credits. So, she's mad and insinuating that it had to do with Bai Lu to make the drama a 30K hit for her, they needed to rewrite it, but of course, It's all about profits in the industry. Well, the director obviously didn't want her work but she' mad because the project Tencent selected her script and now she has no credits. Yu Zheng jumped to Bai Lu's defense. I think he did it for the director and screenwriter because he has close ties to them, he has collaborated with them in the past and want to keep good relationship. If the director feels that her script doesn't' fit the female lead, of course she has to make it work. Complaining and blaming the actress makes her look like a sore loser.

they trashed the original script right before filming and started over with a new writer and changed everything, that may explain why it's deviated a lot from the novel.

you man eerie in a light-hearted way until it blows up

Every drama needs a mix of characters, funny moments before the horror and tragedies. If you see humor, you know sad is on the horizon. This drama so far has shown that it was to mix it up. But the comedy doesn't really make me laugh though. It's sort of dry, sometimes deadpan, which is not easy to do right, you have to have the right expressions and timing is everything. Some people are just naturally funny.

intense feelings is putting it mildly. He said he would jump into the pond and kill himself, but the actor is not convincing. Like the whole time, I didn't believe him at all.

its' been too light-hearted to feel that it will get dark, if it did, then the shift is too dramatic I think
