Actor Ci Sha is not the producer of A Splendid Match, nor did he arrange or hire the directors. Ci Sha's Role: He is strictly one of the lead actors, playing the male protagonist Chen Yanyun.

Production & Directing: The historical romance series was produced by Mango TV and Hunan TV, with professional production teams and credited directors handling behind-the-scenes assignments. Ci Sha's contributions were limited to his performance and occasional collaborative input or on-set improvisations coordinated alongside the directors.

Obviously, these claims about Ci Sha interfering with the production are all rumours.

Is any of this actually verified, or is it rumour being circulated as fact — or worse, used to defame the actor? If there is a reliable source, please share it.

As for the romance, I think the amount was just right. It is the impact that matters, not endless lovey-dovey scenes. Some were very memorable — I can still remember Chen Yan Yun’s love confession! 😄

I absolutely agree with you about Chen Yan Yun's love confession - honest, direct and very amusing.

Where did you get this information from? Or is it just another unfounded rumour being passed around as fact?

I like it just as it is. I think the amount of romance is just right — enough to make every romantic moment count without going all lovey-dovey. What matters is the impact and making each encounter memorable. I can still remember Chen Yan Yun’s interesting confession! Life is not all romance, and I find dramas that overdo it rather boring and unrealistic.

Thoroughly enjoyed this drama! I think it is seriously underrated here at 8.2. Somewhere around 8.5–8.8 would be much more fitting. Definitely deserves more love.

I think this drama is unfortunately underrated at 7.6. Overall, it is very entertaining, although I did have a few moments of déjà vu. Compared with other similarly well-produced fantasy dramas, I would have expected it to receive a rating of around 8–8.4.

Hmm... interesting. I am considering a rating of 8.5 as there are some really weak parts. But Bai Lu's acting was really good - her confusion and all - but is that enough to justify a 9 - I am asking myself.

Is there a sequel to The Glory 2? I would love to see hiw Moon and Joo deal with the psychopathic prisoner.

In Blossom requires a certain willingness to suspend disbelief — especially regarding the face swap premise. Personally, I do not believe a face transplant or even the most elaborate disguises could realistically make someone look completely like another person. Even Mission: Impossible pushes the limits of credibility with its disguises.

But once you accept the drama’s central premise and simply go along for the ride, it becomes a highly entertaining watch. One of the most enjoyable aspects was watching the lead couple constantly suspicious of each other, circling around the truth without fully realising who the other person really was. Their gradual recognition of one another added both humour and emotional tension to the story.

What follows is a fun mix of mystery, romance, and intrigue as the pair finally uncover the truth and join forces to face the dangers ahead. This drama delivers more on entertainment than realism — and In Blossom delivers exactly that - entertainment.

For entertainment value, this drama should deserve a 8.6 on kisskh.com.

Well done! People need to take responsibility for their actions and not go around defaming others on a whim. I wish something could also be done about trolls and obsessive fans who massively upvote dramas starring their favourite actors while deliberately downvoting dramas featuring their perceived rivals. That kind of behaviour is deeply unethical and unfair to both the productions and genuine viewers.

I have a very different take on this drama. No over-the-top melodrama, endless chases, or table-slamming scenes — just a down-to-earth production and an interesting story with an intriguing twist that kept me hooked on uncovering the murderer. And Zhao Liying? She was so cunning and unscrupulous that she genuinely made me mad, which speaks volumes about her performance. This drama deserves far better than its current score — I would rate it around an 8.5. Considering I am usually quite generous with my ratings, it should comfortably deserve at least an 8 on kisskh⁠�.

Depends on where in China they are, I guess.

That is quite an immature fandom. It should be each to their own merit, not let's claw the other drama down.

Wow, that's a long answer to some short comments. Make it short and sharp the next time :)

Any idea who these people are and their motivation? I suspect it's competitors employing online trolls. It's a very unethical practice.

I had seen the opposite happening to dramas from Tencent. They experience a spike up when they were initially released but they aren't that good, and they come back down later. So i don't subscribe to TC as i don't trust their ratings.

This drama deserves a higher rating. I gave it a 9, though I am typically more generous than kisskh ratings. On that scale, it would still reasonably merit an 8.5 here.

Thank you.

It is wonderful to know that someone enjoyed my review—this is truly encouraging and motivates me to keep writing. I get the sense that we may share a like-minded perspective on reviews and dramas.
