Yeah, it’s crazy—the whole situation lol. And it gets so much worse every minute. Now they’re saying she’s personally contacting him and begging him to take the role?? Like omg, how do people even have this much time on their hands 😭
It’s that fanbase from her Moonlight Mystique love interest that’s been targeting her nonstop. I wish people would just chill with the fan wars, but unfortunately it happens every time an actor starts gaining real fame. Suddenly it’s their fans turning into haters toward every co-star 🙄 I really can’t stand some male actors’ fandoms. Wu Xuanyi’s dealing with the same thing too—it’s exhausting.
Anyway, I’ve loved Wawa since My Calorie Boy, and I’m genuinely so happy that she’s finally gaining recognition. But man… her company is honestly her biggest obstacle. They put zero effort into her career—it’s like they’re just coasting while she works herself to the bone. And the worst part is she can’t even leave them, since she doesn’t have strong enough industry connections. Without backing, it’s almost impossible to secure good roles in C-ent.
And even with all this Inferno of Wings hype, we don’t even know if she’ll get the part 😭 It’s just melon for now, and they might just be using her name to generate buzz because she’s hot right now. She’s been rumored for so many dramas lately, and then the roles end up going to someone else—it’s actually depressing.
I also heard she was supposed to do a reality show soon, but that might bring even more hate since she’s not media-trained. Still, it could work out—Dilraba and Li Qin both became way more popular after doing variety. So who knows, maybe it’ll help Wawa too if she chooses the right project. She deserves better. 💔
P.S. That description of Inferno of Wings and Ruyi?? You nailed it. That role is tailor-made for her. If they cast the right Azure God… whew. It could be epic.
Oh bestie I WISH 😭 but her company is sooo useless like they can’t even defend her when she’s constantly getting dragged and hit with fake rumors… you think they’re capable of landing her a lead role this big?
Because there’ve been so many male lead rumors for this, and people are coming for her saying she’s the “YK princess” and being pushed into the drama — as if she hasn’t earned her roles. Some are even claiming no one wants to act with her. On top of that, one actor’s fandom is now targeting her with hate comments because they’re convinced she stole his spotlight after her breakout role. And honestly, her company is useless. They never defend her, not even once. And the crazy part? He’s been getting multiple male lead roles since then, while she’s only had one drama — where she’s like fourth billing .Mind you, she’s the one who actually gained more fame. Men really have it so easy 😭.
For those who don’t know yet, it’s actually very common now for dramas to get cut or altered due to government regulations—especially if they include fantasy elements like rebirth or time travel. That’s why many stories are changed significantly from the original novels. Plus, new rules don’t allow dramas to go beyond 40 episodes, which forces production teams to rush or remove entire arcs. It’s frustrating, but it’s the reality many adaptations face now.
ok.. Why am I 7 minutes in EP1 and already feel like they changed so much from the novel.Like, wayyy more than…
Chinese media regulators ban rebirth and time travel storylines because they believe such themes promote superstition and don’t align with the values they want to encourage. The government wants content that’s more positive and realistic, so these fantasy elements are often censored or changed.
I just finished watching the first 5 episodes, and let’s just say this: if you’re a novel reader, you’re probably going to be very disappointed. A lot has been changed or removed, and it doesn’t do the original justice. Even putting that aside, the show honestly looks very cheap—especially for something that was promoted as an S+ project. For non-novel readers, it does look good, as long as you ignore the downgrade in quality compared to the trailer, which is hard to ignore.
We literally waited for this for a year and there’s many holes you can visually point out which we didn’t…
I get what you’re saying, and I’m not talking about comments like yours. The concerns about the visuals and how the trailer felt more promising are totally valid—especially for those who’ve been waiting a whole year. I haven’t read the novel myself, so I can understand where book fans are coming from too. But I’m specifically talking about the review section—people already giving it 1 star, saying it’s full of plot holes when only a few episodes are out. That kind of rush to hate doesn’t help anyone.
People are complaining about the quality, saying it looks cheap. It’s not about the script, but some of you…
Let’s be real—nobody’s denying the show looks cheaper than the trailer promised. That’s fair. But don’t act like MDL is full of saints giving thoughtful reviews. People are out here dropping 1-star ratings, crying “plot holes” when we’re only 5 episodes in. Be serious. MDL has trolls who foam at the mouth anytime something doesn’t cater to their fave. Not all criticism is deep or honest—some of it is just people being loud for attention.
I get why people are uncomfortable — the age gap is huge, and the female lead is a minor, which makes it worse. But speaking up about it doesn’t mean we’re targeting Hou Ming Hao.
I’m a fan of his and always will be. He’s a very talented actor and has worked hard for everything he’s achieved. This isn’t his fault — he accepted a role like any actor would.
The blame is on the production team, screenwriters, director, her agency, investors, and most of all, her parents. They allowed a 16-year-old to act in a marriage plot with a 27-year-old man and pushed this story forward without considering how disturbing that is.
This show isn’t just fiction — it reflects what the industry chooses to normalize. Casting a minor like this is irresponsible and tone-deaf. We can support Hou Ming Hao while still calling out the adults who created this situation.
I can't understand some people, I think some of you confused the relationship between the actors in the series…
The FL is literally 16 and he’s 27 — that’s not a small gap, especially when she’s still legally a minor. No one is blaming Hou Ming Hao — most people know he’s just doing his job — but that doesn’t make the situation any less uncomfortable.
This drama is literally centered around arranged marriages, and they cast a real-life teenager to play a married woman in a romantic storyline with a grown man. Like, how do you expect people not to feel uneasy? It’s not just a “TV show” — these portrayals have real-world implications, especially when it comes to how society views minors and consent. Just because it was “common in ancient times” doesn’t mean it should be replicated uncritically now.
The issue here is not just the age difference in fiction — it’s the actual real-life casting choice. A 16-year-old should not be put in this situation, period. This is on the producers, screenwriters, the director, the platform, and honestly, her parents too. Everyone who let this happen should be held accountable. It’s incredibly reckless and gross from a production standpoint.
And I say this as someone who really loves Hou Ming Hao — he’s a genuinely talented actor and has been working so hard. I truly hope this doesn’t negatively impact his career because he doesn’t deserve to take the fall for the decisions made by the adults in charge. He deserves better, and so does the audience.
