Idk about the faces but the direction of the script is very much giving adapted with AI but overdo is based off of a novel so I feel this claim of mines may be baseless
I read the novel last year, this drama is nothing like it, except maybe ZLH in that uniform really cuts a fine figure as Murong Qin Yi and even WCR looks appropriate as the fl (described in the Novel as the most beautiful woman to have existed). I wouldn't call it baseless just as yet.

But I have heard that the reason for this is that the novel had extremely toxic scenes that would never have even passed censorship: like Murong Qingyi actually SAed Susu in the novel alot?

Very interested in this topic, if anybody wants to chime in.
Starting to get the feeling this entire drama has been made by Generative AI using ZLH and WCR's faces, it is all unoriginal and uninspired. Like an experiment to move from AI micro dramas to long form.
Isn't it just the intro that is using AI?? Am finding it concerning already that they are using AI in dramas already--where is the future of dramas going?

It is recommended to actually change that part of the novel for the drama, however the ml's family was a core part of the novel as well and that has been changed really poorly like most other things.

Personallly, I didn't even notice the intro, always skip it unless there's a good song and visuals. My concern was really on questioning if AI generated scenes have been used within this drama. Mini dramas on YouTube these days are already completely ai generated. For quality drama content one would hope that crap never comes to mainstream drama productions.

Oh is that so? I have to say that the family is not the most engaging part for me--except the sister (she is funny) but otherwise their scenes just tire me out.

So I have seen 6 episodes so far and can say that except the intro and a background in one scene (field of flowers) there is no other noticeable AI usage. The actors have not been made using AI--their faces show emotions (some extremely dramatic ) for it to be AI and also I can assure you, having been staring at Linghe's visuals for far too long, I know he isn't AI even tho his and Churan's beauty does look unreal.
The more noticeable AI usage was in Love has fireworks and Pursuit of Jade (because those side actors were replaced due to controversies).
