"Not in that context. And even if they show them now, that violence is also a part of life and in that way they FORCE us to take a stand."- Those scenes show that boys were not taught to express their feelings back then and in the absence of the right words they act in an inappropriate manner. We also have the problem today that many boys from many cultures believe that when a woman says no she means yes. They believe that women say no just so they don't think they are cheap. Women should also learn that no is ONLY said when they mean it and not to abuse "no", because then how can they understand the two no's?

"I'm glad we agree that those scenes are problematic."- Not in that context. And even if they show them now, that violence is also a part of life and in that way they FORCE us to take a stand.

Liu Haocun, Zhou Ye are better choices as they look significantly more natural.

"Txw is one amongst the few cdrama actresses who hasnt got any plastic surgeries done."??? Says what???? OMG -Even small children can see that she is not naturally beautiful but plastically beautiful.

Zhang Jingyi, Zhao Jinma, Zhou Ye. All three are better choices as they look significantly more natural.

I watched that drama because of Zhang Ling He and didn't even know she was popular. She's such a bad actress that it was hard to ignore her bad acting. I could almost imagine how they directed her for that role. At first I thought she got the role as a favor or because she traded it for...

She was supposed to be a pig butcher who couldn't afford makeup and who, if she's beautiful, would look like a regular girl from the street, not someone who just came from a plastic surgery clinic and with that excessive makeup??? I missed the contrast between a noble man and a regular girl.

HAHAHA you don't know much about her at all??? Natural beauty ???I had such a hard time looking at her because her plastic surgery was so out of place that it ruined the whole drama. Who drew her? I think you're crazy about her plastic surgeon, he has hands like gold. 😂

Why shouldn't he? He never meant to hurt anyone and never in his wildest imagination could have imagined that anyone would understand those remarks as racism. So like any decent human being he should apologize for the misunderstanding. But it wasn't a misunderstanding as it was deliberately spread by his haters and WOKE racists.

Only racists see race in everything around them. And what if he said that? Only those who themselves think those people are ugly see racism in what he said. You WOKEs think you are the only ones who have a patent on what others can and cannot say. WOKEs are the worst people on the planet, you are racists, sexists and haters.

"racist "???????????You WOKE poison everything you touch.

"They wouldn't disrespect the person they supposedly care about by forcing any form of physical intimacy. It's 2026!"- If there was a drama set in 2026, I definitely wouldn't accept those scenes.

"Do the directors make him force himself onto women in every role he has? -At least they chose him to do it, not an ugly actor. I think it wasn't about sexuality at all in those scenes but more about the roughness of the relationships and the time they describe.

"I'm tired of purity culture and the harmful belief that a FL should be forced into something sexual because 'good women' don't have sexual desires." - I don't think those scenes were about that. And I'm not saying they should include those scenes in that series, but when they do, I don't understand it the way you do. I can abstract that violence as something that was very normal in ancient China and most of the world.

Tian Xi Wei is a very bad choice for the female lead. Her plastic surgery looks completely out of place in the story. Another actress with a completely normal look (without plastic surgery) would have made the drama a masterpiece. I feel sorry for Zhang Ling He because he had to work for two.

It's a historical drama so back then people didn't have the same view of women. They can't falsify history just because you don't like it.
