I will be watching this, only for Joseph Zheng. I want to see how much he has improved since his last Wuxia drama, Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre. Even though, this one is on a more fluffy side.
I did not care much for the romance and I did not watch it for that, neither. The psychological plots, whether they were supernatural or not... Those were the real essence for that drama, at least for me.
I thought Love Me, If You Dare was good with their big names cast and sufficient budget... Until I watched Journey Through the Night, with their obviously smaller budget. To me, that was a more cerebral psychological storyline and had a better execution... Even with a lesser known and a lesser popular cast.
They really should make a part 2 for Journey through the night. It was short but well executed. His psychologically transformed character in the last episodes... I never knew that Joseph Zheng had that kind of acting range in him.
I definitely have a soft spot for Joseph Zeng, with his huge puppy black eyes... So yes, this is a must watch for me. For some reasons, he reminds me of Elvis Han. A younger version of him.
I am not fortunate enough to know what real love is... However, I can tell what real love seems to look like... Wen Hao Sheng’s love for Liu Wan Ting/Liu Ting. It is beyond gender.
So this actor, Pan Yue Ming, will be carrying out the first male lead role in the next 4 to 5 Candle in the Tomb series? Interesting casting selection... His character’s depiction of Chen Yu Lou/Chen Xia Zi is pretty straightforward; however for me, he is missing charisma and stage presence. I am not, by any means, a fan of Vengo Gao but I am finding myself looking for his character, since his first scene appearance. This is the best Vengo Gao’s performance that I have watched. He basically stole the show from the ML.
*So far, among all of the Candle in the Tomb series that I have watched; the best first male lead character has to go to Hu Ba Yi, portrayed by Jin Dong.
not yet. he'll have to enlist in summer of 2021, before his birthday.
You are right. I think that it is exactly that. The Korean actresses are really lucky; they don’t have to take 2 years of hiatus. Then again, one can always improve their acting skills during those 2 years, like Lee Min-ho did.
he has so much range!! Always impressed how he can play so many type of characters!!
Completely Agreed. Even when he plays those anti-hero protagonist or antagonist characters... He still manages to insert some innocence within those layers. His ranges are getting better and better with each project.

Ahhhh... This summer. That what I thought; he was supposed to enlist this year. So I was not expecting any projects from him. I was surprised to see that he has a new drama coming out this month. I have to say, the best looking Gumiho that I have ever seen, after Choi Jin-hyuk in Gu Family Book.
I thought I read somewhere that he was supposed to start his military service this year? I really was not expecting any projects from him for the next 2 years. Well, I am glad we have “My Roomate is a Gumiho” soon to be released this month.
Jang Hyuk... The man with what dreams are made of... At least my dreams... Finally, as a real leading male in a historical setting. What was the last time, he was in a historical drama, not in a movie, not sort of a male lead but as a real first male lead? Shine or Go Crazy. That was too long, ago.
The good things in life are always so short. It was not a BL; however, it was a very strong bromance. Yi Liang’s character reminded me of Wei Wu Xian’s character from The Untamed... Unbridled and free-spirited.
making unsolicited comments about other people’s bodies/appearance is Not It.
Just by your vile comment, I definitely know that you were lying. Using a friend’s personal story in order to get viewers’ sympathy. That is what I call unwell and trashy. Then again, one needs to be one to know one. Right!
I wonder if it's a cultural/continental difference? In Asia, especially in the southern part, that actor is considered…
First, let me just say that your remark is eloquently well written. This is what I call an educated response, not some abrasive and pedestrian comments.
Indeed, I do agree my perceptions on physical attributes are coming from a cultural and continental difference or rather backgrounds. For example, in the past, I had made comments about Lord Bo in The Wolf that he was extremely attractive, virile and manly. I got remarks that his skin tone was too dark, his lips were too voluptuous and that he was excessively too muscular. For which, I did find very amusing because they were listing the exact attributes that I was attracted to.
Therefore yes, it is a cultural barrier. Looking anorexic, to me, does not have any negative connotations; it simply means that it has an unhealthy look to it. If my verbiage was too eloquent and too straightforward, by no means; I did not intend to share any negative connotations about the actor... Who is actually my favorite character in this installment.

Some of the jargons and raiders’s methods might be unfamiliar but they are basically similar to The Lost Tomb’s installments.

You are the one who read my posts and kept on answering them.
Very easy math.
It is not rocket science.
