Of all the kissing scenes being leaked recently in current or just wrapped dramas, this one is the hottest I’ve seen. Thank you Lusi and William! 🔥🔥

I’m really not hung up on age gaps. One of my FAVORITE all time movies had a 17 year age gap, An Affair To Remember, but Grant’s and Kerr’s chemistry were amazing, so chemistry is my no. 1 priority with pairings.

The trailer was a teaser like no other! I went from, “I hope they have a few kissing scenes” to “OMG, the kissing scenes!” Is it next year, yet?

Their comfort level with each other is so beautiful to watch.

She was stunning. Absolutely loved her look.

I find them hilarious, too. There they are, throwing a tantrum on SM while sitting in their stained pj's insulting a young woman they've NEVER MET who is winning awards, carrying the torch at the Olympics, solving wardrobe issues for her costars at 2am, and living the absolute best life. It's hard to comprehend that these soiled diaper bots want to spend the rest of the one life they have not being a better person. So be it. While their ass grows flatter spreading their hate, Lusi will be rocking her next outfit and bringing her MILLIONS of fans a lot of joy.

Apache proverb: It is better to have less thunder in the mouth and more lightning in the hand.

You're very welcome.

Seems to me the biggest complaint on Douban for Jun Jiu Ling (that received the 3.9 rating) is the casting of the ML, aesthetically. There were over 5K likes to 1-star ratings (I stopped counting after 10 posts) regarding his casting. I personally think he did a great job in My Deepest Dream, so I saw no problem with him in this role.

ALSO, someone posted about there being an operation to sway public sentiment in a negative way by posting NEGATIVE comments just before the drama aired. So, please don't pin a 3.9 rating solely on the director of the drama. Looking at something from 300ft in the air can give you a better perspective than looking at something from 30ft in the air.

Warning...this is going to be a long post, so buckle up.

I'm so confused about those complaining about the "poor camera movements" from the director. I hope people understand the difference between a cinematographer (DP) and a director. These are two VERY DIFFERENT ROLES. Here's the difference: A director manages the creative process of the entire production (which is Xie Ze's role with this drama), whereas a cinematographer focuses more closely on the visual aspects of a film. If you want to discuss XZ's DP work, then lets. For the record, he wasn't ALWAYS criticized.

Under his DP command, the following drama ranked high on Douban (7.3): Empresses in the Palace Here is a summary according to GROK about this drama: (Edited).

Cinematography: The camera work often employs wide shots to capture the grandeur of the palace settings, but also uses close-ups effectively to convey the intense emotions and subtle power plays among the characters. Lighting is used to dramatic effect, with shadows and contrasts highlighting the mood and psychological states of the characters. Overall, "Empresses in the Palace" uses its visual elements not just for aesthetic pleasure but as integral parts of its storytelling, enhancing the narrative depth and emotional impact of the drama. This visual richness has been one of the key factors in its widespread popularity and critical acclaim.

He was also DP for The Legend of Mi Yue. GROK says:

"Legend of Mi Yue's" cinematography, the consensus seems to be that its visual storytelling significantly enhances the drama's narrative depth and emotional impact, making it a visually compelling watch within the genre of historical Chinese dramas.

Now, let us move to the DP for TSOPG, who, according to IMDb, is Chao Wei who worked on Louyang with DIRECTOR, Xie Ze. I once again consulted GROK regarding the DP and Production Value of Louyang, and this was the result:

Overall Quality: From the quality of the art direction to the lighting, everything about "Luoyang" screams high production value. The drama's investment in its visual storytelling is evident, making it stand out even among other high-budget Chinese dramas.

Critical Reception: Critics and viewers alike have lauded "Luoyang" for its production value, often mentioning it as one of the drama's highlights. This appreciation extends beyond just the visual elements to include the overall execution, which includes the quality of the action sequences and the use of locations.

Overall Execution: The combination of these elements — from set design to costume, from cinematography to special effects — showcases a high level of production value. This investment in quality is evident in how "Luoyang" has been received, often being cited as one of the best-looking dramas of its year, if not in recent times.

So, instead of viewing this drama through grey-tinted glasses, I hope we can remain optimistic for this drama and appreciate what we’ve seen so far from the actors, the crew, including the DP and Director, and the production team.

I feel like I've watched an episode of Kill Me Heal Me when I read her posts. The seven different personalities that come out in one post is quite insane.

4. IKR? Episode 7 of Hidden Love (Airport Scene) I thought I wouldn't stop crying while watching her cry. She just knows how to pull out so many emotions.

Edited : it’s really hard to stay quiet sometimes. I’ve decided to channel my energy towards Lusi’s accomplishments. Too many amazing things happening for her right now.

Reported, but the most disturbing part is them actually giving a link to their sad, delusional feed. ANYONE can see they DISTOTED Lusi's pictures to prove their lie. It's like watching a viper sink in quicksand. One's not quit sure whether to help pull it out or just let it sink into it's own pathetic demise.

Their OOOAD (Obsession Over Others Appearance Disorder) is quite pathetic. I’ve conducted my own research using profile overlays of Lusi from 2019 to last week. Her nose structure hasn’t changed. In forensics it’s called passing the eye test. And, coming here to announce their insecurities of themselves and for their favorite actress makes them quite desperate for attention. I do hope they seek help for their OOOAD sooner rather than later.

The trailer does seem to give that impression, and I'm perfectly fine with either or both.

I've always loved the saying, "Blowing out someone else's candle won't make yours shine any brighter." Due to their own insecurities, they feel the need to throw darkness on others. Lusi always emerges and just outshines them no matter what, though. Even with promotion and support problems re: TSOPG, it still hit 1M reservations with, I believe, her and her fans carrying the heaviest sword for it.

My romance bones LOVE a good damsel in distress, Cinderella-Knight in Shining Armor type drama. HOWEVER, I'm quickly falling in love with the whole, 'Instead of waiting for her Prince, she picked up her sword and built her own damn kingdom' trope. I'm not sure if this drama is exactly like this but I hope it comes close.

Finger’s crossed. I think Lusi’s fans are doing the most in promoting this.

Oh, yes, definitely. This is so well deserved.

I'm torn between VOGUE and ELLE, personally.
