Honeslty, many times it’s just better to stay ignorant of all the drama/gossip. I only stumble upon it accidentally when Google pops up something on the front page or when people comment (like was the case with OG). And, honestly, with OG I don’t even care about scenes being cut (even though I like him overall and him & FL in The Princess Royal). That character’s actions were always going to be questionable (unlike FL in TFF).

Surprise episode is a preview/trailer of what’s to come.

Based on what everyone has said so far, the novel and donghua focus just on the ML. Even the drama so far is very ML focused (not a typical drama with romance and clear ML+FL). So, despite what YOUKU may claim, only Yang Yang is a true lead. Everyone else is playing supporting characters or guest stars.

Yes

Oh, really? Do we know what was the original episode count? Normally, you’d think episode count would be reduced BEFORE VFX are done to save a lot of money.

I’m pretty sure there’s a rule that requires all Chinese dramas to have people jump over building or at least on a roof of a building (except for modern dramas). It must be part of a union agreeement with wire workers 🤣

Fair point :) It’s the only drama on MDL that does NOT have “Romance” tag 😁

When you break a contract, you have to pay penalties.

Love square 🤣

By their eyes 👀 and, once, by the hand 🤚. Well… there was another time but we can’t talk about it 🤫 It’s been the guy, the girl, and the dead demon 🤐

Ahhh… hopefully they’ll be on the international app or on their YouTube channel eventually 🙏

Thanks for the inside scoop! Somehow, it never occurred to me that weight would matter for stunts (as long as a person was in a good physical condition), but I can totally see how it’d matter for wire work.

Has those facts been confirmed by any reputable source? Both the fact that they shot a lot more scenes together and the fact she is angry about them being cut? So, so many news out there are just completely made up. Being an actor/actress/idol isn’t good for your mental health 😢

Do you mean the ones in BTS section? In the app only one of them is marked TVOD and that one is just a preview of what’s to come.

What’s even more hilarious is there was a modern drama which offered no hints at the couple (unmarried) having bedroom scenes but eventually there was a pregnancy scare, lol (apparently the source book was a lot more explicit but censors don’t want us to have nice things 🚫). When I watched that drama for the second time, I specifically paid attention for any hints but nothing.

The hero here starts off by wanting to provide for his family by joining a sect and kind of accidentally stumbles onto a path of cultivation through a series of events. The novel is called “A Record of Mortal's Journey to Immortality”, so that’s his end goal I suppose. But mostly he’s just trying to improve himself so that he can continue to be a cultivator. Think of it this way: you lucked into joining a good company at a position for which you are not qualified; and everyone KNOWS you are not qualified for the position. So now you are motivated to do well and to earn respect. Sure, eventually you want to become a top-level manager but for now you are trying to not get fired.

She realized what was going to happen 😁

For YY 7 kg is okay. But I found it unusual when ELLE claimed a female actress (who played MO’s daughter) lost 7 kg. That’s a lot for a petite person. Maybe Google mistranslated something.

Thanks for the article! On cost-per-episode basis, this would rank #3 (US$1.4m per episode). The Longest Say in Chang’an is $1.83m/ep and Rebel Princess is $1.47m/ep. P.S. I wonder how much Love Game in Eastern Fantasy spent on VFX — they were very impressive.

ELLE article claimed Zhao Qing also lost 7 kg (if Google Translate is accurate) and that seems hard to imagine 😳
