was watching avx's review of Blossom and I found it interesting and pretty logical that she thought this director does sort of always control the narrative in the dramas he directs. He seems to care for the overall quality of what he puts out (not just the visuals) and if fame doesn't get to him, I can assume zhu yu has a higher chance of having a decent storytelling even if the scriptwriter's track record is somewhat mediocre. Blossom's wasn't good either but it ended up being a really nice show, probably because zqj knows how to make his shows engaging enough through his lense.

This isn't a masterpiece but the mere fact that there is (still) no irrelevant dooky ahh palace politics with terrible writing makes it times and times better than so many other similar saguk dramas (and btw lady ok is the karl marx of joseon dynasty I love her for that)

yessss she really blew up after FOF 😭

these pxr looks are for the history books

tbh poor dudu had a very small fanbase back then and ppl took advantage of that but jjy's fans are NAWT gonna let anybody bully her online lol

First thing I see when I wake up in the morning is cdl and jjy yuri omfgfgg I SCREAMED the way dudu is stroking her hair and kiku is looking at her with vicious doe eyes??? CRAZY

Also ngl at this point I am way more hopeful for the younger gen of actors bc really??? what the hell are the 2010s icons even doing???😭 I grew up with this ppl and I really love most of them don't get me wrong but I think it's rightful dissapointment when you see that instead of growing and leaning toward more serious projects as they age, they seem to not care about script quality, themes and massage and just want whatever high budget and buzz making slapped on it smh

kdramaland was actually starting to become serious and legit, talented scriptwriters who were well educated and had good vision were starting to work on kdramas but producers really digged their own grave and degraded back to the late 2000s when they decided adapting fanfic-esque manhwas and web novels was a much better and more profitable idea...kdramas get more views now but at the cost of all the beautiful and thought provoking social commentary getting ditched for crappy romcoms and webtoon makjang lol

cdl really has a face people would go to war for

Yeah I rmmbr poor cx...he did all that and didn't even write the female chars properly 💀

yeah but so many ppl hold you at gvnpoint if you say you dislike him 😭 like damn there are 58 valid reasons for it but okay lol

don't want to see single person get jumped for saying they dislike him on mdl ever again

genuinely HATE gjm I'm really just excited for this bc I want to see dudu and kiku tgt...that man is so evil

I counted 9 tails and a dragon on this new poster (ninth one is on the very bottom in the full pic with a little bit of a reach lol)

need to get into snh lore so bad 😭

cannot wait for her and fu jing in the glory

dudu was flirting with women in fof behind AND in front of the camera 24/7 😭 cheng xiao, zhang miaoyi, peng xiaoran. Just collecting the girls like pokemon cards lol

have been saying cdl is litterally perfect for gl since forever plus kiku has never dated a man in her 10 years of career, has female majority fanbase who also call her husband so yeah

Chinese fashion historians were very impressed with the costume design when the posters came out 2 years ago so they ARE objectively well crafted

Good prod and pretty costumes guaranteed! Praying for good writing as well bc I want the best things for xiaotian^_^
