You should give him a chance at least. Given that he has only been in the industry for 3 years, he's making great progress. Even if Zhang Wan Yi played this role. It's fiction so all logic went out the window anyhow. Out of all the names you mentioned, I would only think that Liu Xue Yi would fit. He does have that aura and the acting skills. Unfortunately, he only started getting lead roles in recent years.

Rumors about Wu Lei is definitely not true as he announced recently that he willy only focus on his movie career in the next few years. A lot of actors who ventured out to movies tend to stay there. He may not ever come back to drama land.

He doesn't look young in this drama though. I would have think that Zhang Wan Yi looks even younger than him. ZLH height and stature does make him look more grand. It's fiction after all and it makes no sense that someone that young can rise to that kind of status. Given that they should all be around the same age.

I see your point and I do have those moments with this drama. Like I wish that the costumes could be better or the cinematography could have been better. Though every drama has its own flaws and this is not even an S level production. Even S level production like Lost You Forever had its own list of flaws. For the amount of money they had, I thought some of the graphic scenes were atrocious but I still loved it for what it was.

Xie Wei character was meant to be a psychopath so he's supposed to give off that vibe. It's not as evident in the drama but he had alot of blood on his hands in the past life. Something that the drama could have done better.

I can't see Jing Tian as Ning Er. She's a good actress but I couldn't see her in this role. Bai Lu worked fine for me as a messed up villain trying to redeem herself. I thought Bai Lu looked fine in Empress days. Even if you think she doesn't fit it, it's only snippets of it anyways. The whole story surrounds the current time line where she's just living out her teenage years trying to save her damn self from getting beheaded again. lol

I feel the same way. I know we are supposed to pretend like they look like they're teens but she just looks way older. Even Bai Lu doesn't look that young but she still looks youthful. I find the styling just aged the actress so much. She could very much passed as a young wife rather than young girl.

I agree. I love Bai Lu but i heard TTEOM was a messed so I didn't watch it. Is it worth watching?

Lost You Forever with Yang Zi.

The thread of LYF was crazy here during the airing period. Literally if you refresh the page within five minutes, there would be a bunch of new comments and fan wars. lol It was hard to keep up with all the comments. I liked it very much but I think I enjoyed this series even more. I wish this was more S level production. They would gained more with better costumes and directing.

It's darker than most dramas but I like this new type of female characters. The ones that grow into a better person as everyone deserves second chances. The ML doesn't care for anyone and it's understandable as he seen blood since he was young. I guess you can call him a psycho. Though what his past made him the way he is and it's amazing that he has the will to live after going through that as a child. I like seeing how JXN changed in the current lifetime and she will become more likeable as time goes on. Also, i'm glad she's not a weak female character. She takes what fate gives her and do her best to help others.

It will be revealed later that he chose to die as his mother died while he was in prison. Plus he must have felt guilt and mourned for the loss of JXN so he chose to end his life.

Thank you! How is "Wonderland of Love" doing? I heard people raving about that series as well.

Ning Er and XW are both messed up so they can understand each other. She even said it herself that she doesn't deserve someone as nice as ZZ. Plus ZZ can go on living without her but XW will choose to die if Ning Er leaves him. She didn't choose him for that reason because she did end up loving him. She just couldn't see ZZ as a lover as they both have memories of the past as he was reincarnated as well.

ZZ was reincarnated. He died not too long after Ning Er died. So they both have memories of the past so it made sense that the just can't see other as lovers in this lifetime.

I meant in MDL. It definitely doesn't have the heat that LYF generated in here. hehe

BTW, how is doing in China?

I am too before I watched the series. He's still hot as ever as ZZ but I find myself rooting for XW already. I find their bickering relationship more fun. Her relationship with ZZ was the more romantic/longing type, which I seen too many times already. lol

I'm surprised this series is not more popular. Sure the cinematography left alot to be desire but nothing is perfect. The story is not as dark as the description sounds and the actors really gave justice to the characters. I find alot of people are quite critical of ZLH. The guy is quite young and haven't been in the industry long but he was able to tackle many types of characters. Kudos to him!

His glare could kill anyone. lol

You're so spot on! I didn't even think of that. lol

I don't think XW will have it. lol he will probably allow Yan Lin since it's his cousin but will probably try to kill ZZ if he even go near Ning Er. lol

I can't wait. He's becoming so caring towards her. It'll be so good to see him realize his own feelings and his internal struggle. lol
