girl omg I never said he wasn't charismatic I just said not as charismatic as Hu Ge okay??? calm tf down

The synopsis does not sound like it's any different from other xianxias but it looks pretty...

Also most cdrama custome designers are men...she's a lady who knows her shit and her team actually consider the person they're designing the pieces and style for lmfao. ZLH is such a pretty guy yet in any other historical drama hes been and is gonna be except clj, the team seem to have had no clue what colors, silhouette and wig look flattering for him😭

The yi xiao ya costume slander in the comments...mind you other stylists started ditching the ugly minimalistic design that had been palguing xianxias for 7 years after her work became popular bc of CLJ. I do NOT let you all do her dirty like that 😭 Nobody uses dreamy colors and textured high quality fabrics like her no one's hanfus flow like hers idc I will not get tired even if she recycles the same garments a billion times they're still masterpieces of art to me

That's very rude...

All the chars in here are very dear and the friendship between them was the most precious but I want to very specifically send the biggest smooch to my pretty smart adorable talkative Lingsha she's so baobei also Mengli my beloved 😭

((long analysis incoming))Like i get it, douban users are haters at times but they really wouldn't rate a show low if it does actually have a logical and entertaining plot and decent production even if it's an idol drama 😭 I don't exactly know what was going on with cntez when this aired but I have my guesses. Besides from the billing drama and fandom fights, CP is a VERY popular game in chn so whoever creating whatever piece of media under this title is gonna be under extreme scrutiny from game fans. And also there exists THEE cp1 and cp3 remakes (with Hu Ge,Yangmi, liu yifei, liu shishi etc) from the 2000s that are also crazy popular in china and everybody loves them; so any actor playing the characters in the new remakes is at disadvantage of being compared to very legendary senior actors lol...I do agree that the new generation of pretty boys are not nearly as good as the actors who used to be popular back then (and that CZY is definitely not Hu Ge level of charismatic lmao) but the poor kids in this drama didn't do hald as bad as cntez made it look like 😭

Actually there have been many niche idol dramas with a very similar premise and progression of story that aired in the last couple of years that got 7+ scores on douban. I genuinely believe this would be one of them if all the shitty fandom drama didn't happen and if this wasn't a CP remake...It makes me so sad cause JJY has not been getting the kindest feedback from ppl in her acting career and this was actually such a surprisingly great performance and overall drama from her which could definitely be her redemption arc 😭like I'm not saying it's a masterpiece but it's just SUPER fun to watch and there's not stupidity and unbelievable lack of reason or even unwatchably bad acting disturbing you from having fun watching it

Just really damn sad to see what happened to SAF4 😭 I've loved her sooo much as an idol so it made me really frustrated to see how much hate she got bc of bad dramas and green acting and she finally gets a decent, actually entertaining drama with a logical plot AND a lovely character to play and it got dragged to hell and back in mainland chn for all the billing drama and shit...like it could've been the biggest redemption for her acting career and totally changed how ppl perceive her as an actor if the show's team and cnetz weren't so petty

what the hell happened to this one like is it ever coming out

The thing that pisses me off so bad is that they bullied her so freaking much even before the tax scandal for no logical reasoning and the tax thing was just an excuse to make the hate justified and now gege fans have their "oooh see I told you she was trash" moment lol I'm kinda getting over it but it just makes me so damn sad that she didn't even have a moment of peace in her short lived period of fame...

omg if it's sokp's then I can be kinda hopeful

and whatever I've came across from xing ling (both adaptations and the og novels themselves lol) has unfortunately been SO boring to me so this one depends completely on the script...my heart does NOT have the capacity to break for the 9181th time you guys this is CRUEL 😭

really freaking HATE when they don't disclose the screeptwiter...its a major red flag when a huge production like this keeps spreading pretty leaks all over the internet yet doesn't talk a word about who will be writing the script and I hate it so much cause they look so damn beautiful individually and together and I'm already getting emotionally manipulated into being invested 😭

and it's over for me when I'm already feeling THINGS with the cp from the damn TRAILER alone this is gonna consume the rest of my life for this year

esther looks sooo hot in the poster THAT CHOCKER is cherry on top

my pretty princesses kiku and wang duo I'LL BE TUNING IN

The c-ent industry doing women dirty...omg what a shocker. Totally the first time this happens. Haven't seen it before at all like nope nah of course not

+The "evil" woman dresses sexily ✔️
+evil woman lies about SA to screw a man up (worst trope ever) ✔️
+evil woman wins her cases by seducing the judges (when tf does that even happen lmfao??^!%! even if it does, why are the grown men who fall for her bewitching stripped of any intelect and responsibility like 10 y/o kids and it's just her being a wh0re??😭) ✔️
+cheater husband was just an innocent meow meow who got bewitched by evil woman ✔️
+according to wife he didn't commit a sin, he just "fell in LOVE" ✔️
+Another partly evil woman is bad cause she "sold" her body to a sugardaddy✔️
+capitalist nepo baby ceo is just some guy who's looking for a woman who wants him not his money (poor guy uwu)
+And the sexist cringefest award goes to the conversation between the fl and the villain in the masquerade bathroom:
" But...wasn't aphrodite a shameless woman who walked around, tits out, trying to seduce men and get what she wanted from them?"

It's actually quite the wonder that after more than a year every time my thoughts jump back into this show I discover more misogyny in it 😭 like I'm convinced it was the coping mechanism for the scriptwriter who got caught cheating on his wife and does have an impressive amount of wild conservative ideologies on women's "purity" and the evil of their sexuality and shit lol
