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 😳

I was talking about all genres, not just here. Many modern or historical/costume dramas are like that.

There are definitely some impressive battles coming up for you in 10-13 (and previews & teasers also look promising). If you read recent comments, there articles that say a lot of this was shot on location with huge crews and gives budget numbers overall and for VFX.

That’s about $41.6 million USD. How does that rank budget wise in C-drama land?
