I'm very unfamiliar with how c-drama promo works in China - but since the Hi6 episode Seven and XK filmed is set…
Well, I'm not a newbie to Chinese dramas, but I still don't understand the airing schedules/promo for c-dramas. Xu Kai shot two episodes of Hi6. One with Seven Tan for ABAY promo, the other with Esther Yu for SAF promo. SAF has finished airing, but their Hi6 is still nowhere to be seen.
Just found this post: https://twitter.com/ForCdrama/status/1758487844077855137?s=20 ABAY is not on the list, but I hope it airs soon. There are quite a few dramas I'm excited for in the list. There's another drama in the list, it was also adapted from a novel by Jiu Yue Xi (As Beautiful As Beijing author) -- Gone with the Wind. I don't know how it passed the censorship lol. The trailer looks super hot, and not something Chinese censors would allow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM1gX8sIPuE I've read the novel, but it is an open ending (can be interpreted as happy ending). The novel is dark. Very dark.
Trueš¤ This drama has it's own plus and minus points but if she were to discuss it in overall, she needs to…
I know hate is a strong word, but I really hate that AvenueX lady. She's so pretentious and it infuriates me. For the sake of my mental health, more than a year ago, I had to block her channel to never show up on my YouTube recs.
Ok, so I started translating the novel this drama is based on. If anyone's interested, you can read it here (scroll down to find the table of contents):
I've only translated the first 3 chapters until. And since I'm busy with daily life and personal life, I cannot promise how fast I will be able to translate and update the chapters. But I am 100% sure that I will completely translate the whole novel before the drama releases.
Note: I'm reading the novel as I'm translating it.
I had to drop; I didnāt like how the FL used the fact that he was in love with her every time as her strategy.…
Well, first and foremost, FL and ML are on opposite sides. They both have their own armies to worry about first before considering feelings. So, don't expect FL to regret it. Also, neither have confirmed their feelings for each other yet when FL used ML's feelings to gain advantages. And make no mistake, ML also did not lose much, in fact, he also gained a few advantages himself despite the deceit. I quite like this FL who is willing to do everything to win. After they confirmed their feelings, FL didn't take advantage of ML's love for her.
have you watched the drama at all? She was cunning, strong, smart, independent and manupulative. Which part do…
What drama are you watching?? Lol! She literally one-ups ML a lot of times (in fact, most of the time) that some people here even felt bad for ML. She was even a bit ruthless, not letting her feelings for ML stop her from taking actions that could hurt ML. I'm not sure if you are watching Wonderland of Love or some other drama, cause even from the first 4 episodes, you will not find a trace of a "weak naive girl" in FL.
I was just looking at the all-cast video wishing Happy Chinese New Year -- Kira Shi, the actress playing Zeng Di, looked familiar. So I went through her MDL and found out that, much to my surprise, she was in Viva Femina. I watched this drama just a few months, and I have to say, Kira Shi gave one of the stand-out performances in the drama. You love her, you hate her, you pity her, and then you love her again. The drama is also very good, and it deserves a better rating. She's also in Wonderland of Love, only in episode 1. She's the pipa player who helped the FL one up against the ML, lol.
our couple comes to greet us ššhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/HMH7vRT32vQ
Looking at this video, how I wish they didn't have Seven sport short hair for Ji Xing. She still looks beautiful with the short hair, but with longer hair, like in the video, she looks heavenly.
I haven't watched "the legend of Zuohua" yet, but it's on my list to watch because of Jing Tian š I read some…
Not sure about the other person, but I have watched this drama twice and I haven't fast forwarded a single scene even on my second watch. So, it really depends on pov.
Heās a cat person!! And I didnāt think he could be more perfect š»
Xu Kai has more than 1 cat I think. When he was promoting WOL, I think, he was somewhere else and was doing livestream with Gao Han. Gao Han was taking care of Xu Kai's cats, he even showed them on the livestream.
I contemplated trying to read the novel before the drama airs . . . but I think I want to come into this show…
Most of the times, novel adaptations often disappoint us. So your approach is actually good. There are few exceptions though, and I found most of them in Chinese drama adaptations. Like Falling Into Your Smile (adapted from You Are Beautiful When You Smile), Ancient Love Poetry (adapted from Ancient God), Go Go Squid 2: Dt. Appledog's Time (adapted from two novels, 'God's Left Hand' and it's sequel, 'Fish Playing While Trapped In A Secret Room'). All these novels I read first and watched the drama adaptations later. I loved both the novels and the drama adaptations equally in these cases. I sincerely hope ABAY falls into this category.

But this drama is definitely for me. I personally loved the drama so much that I have rewatched it 3 times without fast-forwarding a single scene.
She literally one-ups ML a lot of times (in fact, most of the time) that some people here even felt bad for ML. She was even a bit ruthless, not letting her feelings for ML stop her from taking actions that could hurt ML.
