Wow. I forgot about Chen Xing Xu... He should have had a number of projects that were scheduled for release this year but they were all pushed back due to the global pandemic.
That’s right, he definitely has some great potentials with characters’ complexity and layers.

These 3 OSTs were not half as bad either. - Upwards to the moon by Sa Dinging - Too Late To Say I Love You by Hu Yang Lin - ONCE FAMILIAR WITH THE SCENERY by WILLIAM WEI & CLAIRE KOU

Actually in Bloody Romance, I was more and utterly captivated by the heir of the female assassins headquarter. That prince had such of a profound complexity in his character. And damn, he was hot with his hair all made-up or not...
I found that the FL’s love interest aka her shadow was more of a subaltern ML. His character was just there for dramatization. Giving that his dubbing voice was very sensual.
This sounds great! A strong and powerful FL with a great outcome. And, for a change, we see the perspective of…
These 2 are what I call: Side-story-cdrama-fluffy-fillers.
- Maiden Holmes, I barely managed to finish it. It was a better filler than most of this year, 2020’s fillers. It was passable.
- Qing Qing Zi Jin, I am still at the early beginning episodes. I have not found the courage to go back. What irritated me was the FL’s dubbing voice. It was so annoying.
If there is a happy ending there... Then this historical drama has not followed the historical facts on Xiao Chuo’s…
Ohhhhhh... Now, I remember where I saw her portrayal before. It was in The Iron Empress aka Empress Cheonchu. - Shim Hye-jin as Empress Xiao of Liao. - Lee Jin-woo as Han Duk-yang.
But in there, she never married Han De Rang. They just had a weird and co-dependent relationship that her son, the future young emperor, hated.

I doubt Tencent film production would change the most crucial and the most dramatic part of her life story into a romance. Just to appease the general audience.
And it is already in the tag-lines: Lovers Separated.

In a historical Wuxia romance drama...
This is what I call “A Chinese Noona Romance”
Would it work?
I am most definitely intrigued.
BRING IT ON!!!

I can’t wait to hear what kind of whimsical and eclectic sounds that she is going to create.
Zhang Hanyu is part of the Chinese mainstream culture now.
I did not know that.
It certainly did work for him.

He should do some voice dubbings as well. A voice like that should be utilized.
Oh my... That is some voice...
Yes, I also remembered hearing some rumors about a sequel but I don’t know if it’s still on the table.
Also that drama has one of my favorite entering OSTs ever. I almost loved it more than the drama itself.

Did I say “Hate”?
Yes, HATE.
You too:)
I will come back to check it again in a month or so...
Meanwhile, I literally have nothing to watch that captivates my complete attention.
I blame you and only you...
Love and Redemption!
The Promise of Chang’an (2020)... All over again...
But with a less self-absorbed and less selfish female lead.
I am not sure if I will start this one or not.
But definitely, it’s on the back burner.
Now, I remember where I saw her portrayal before.
It was in The Iron Empress aka Empress Cheonchu.
- Shim Hye-jin as Empress Xiao of Liao.
- Lee Jin-woo as Han Duk-yang.

Apparently Tencent did disregard her factual and historical life-story.
About that!!!
About that!!!
Instead of The Legend of Xiao Chuo, they should have titled this:
Matrimonial Golden Age Romance.
At least, she gets to cut her cake and she gets to eat it too...
Just to appease the general audience.
