Ah! I’ve seen clips of that drama! Xiao Zhan’s Beitang Moran is often used in fan videos but that show is not my cup of tea unfortunately.

I think I’ve seen Oh! My Emperor. That’s the one with Zhang Tianai, right? She’s so beautiful that I watched her last drama with Xu Kai cheng without caring one bit about the plot😂 I even watched a bit of Snow Sword Stride for her. I wish she did more dramas.

Yes, she started very late for an actress because she used to be a host for IQIYI while doing small support roles until Fan Binbing recruited her to her company. Unfortunately some things happened and Xiao Ran lost FBB who was her biggest backer making it hard for her to get A-lister level dramas or to find work in general.
JJL was a low budget drama given to her when she was down but a lot expectation was placed on it because of her heroine debut as Xiao Feng in Goodbye My Princess. The makeup and shooting in GBMP had a more glamorous look so there was disappointment that JJL didn’t deliver at the same level. Some of that turned to ridicule and hate (A lot of comparison videos use GBMP to trash other dramas without caring about the life of the cast so I guess that’s where the hate comes from 😩)
Fortunately she stuck with it. She’s got two dramas and a movie left in stock but hopefully she’ll start filming a new role soon.

So happy more people are starting to recognise Jun Jiu Ling! When it first aired she got so much hate and ridicule but as Peng Xiao Ran says “Time will tell us everything, don't worry, take your time." and now things are getting better and better!
Her next drama with a heroine focus similar to Jun Jiu Ling should be Hua Mei.

For those who were asking before, looks like the grades of this show must have been good. PXR just got announced as a brand ambassador for a jewellery company today.

Congrats to PXR on becoming Brand Ambassador for Xie Ruilin Jewellery!!

Haha, yes, different tastes😊
I like all types of genres but I like deeper characters who undergo growth or transformation most. Jun Jiu Ling had a couple episodes deleted though so maybe the depth got deleted as well. But, I’m glad JJL is getting more and more positive feedback though. When it first aired there were a lot complaints about it just like with this show.

I prefer this to Jun Jiu Ling. I like all Peng Xiao Ran dramas but Jun Jiu Ling has very little growth arc. She’s one of the lower ranked characters in PXR48 because of this. Ji Man feels a lot more flesh and blood than her. And, I like the message of this show a lot more. Plus, the shooting is a lot better in this show (sans the intentionally weird shots), the chemistry is heavier, and the styling of the leads is more compatible.

I’m also a student but I only watch a few dramas a year so I don’t have to prioritise I guess. From episode 20 is when the story seems to shift focus to the emotional aspect of Jinyumantang but I guess the viewer has to be into the emotional development of a romance to not think it’s dragging. I thought some of the best acting came in those episodes and emotional development takes time otherwise it won’t feel real. That’s also when the setup and foreshadowing starts to pay off. I’m really not sure how this show would look with half the episodes. There’s too much setup and detail…
But everyone is different and has their own tastes and not every show works for everyone.

Haha,
Yeah it’s really a surprise. It’s like there’s no good points to this show and it’s absolutely terrible, which isn’t true😭 Seems like the harshness is the norm on a lot of the romantic comedy Cdramas but it kinda ruins the mood of chasing dramas to see nothing but complaints on such a cute show😩

Yes, I’m going to rewatch and one of friends has started watching it as well.

It’s really weird because a lot of the comments on Weibo says the plot isn’t procrastinating yet the main comment here is it’s repetitive. I wonder if that’s due to the rise of the short form drama. I noticed they’ve become really popular in recent years. And maybe that popularity affects how much people want to watch?
I’m a fan so the more episodes ,the merrier😂I wish there was a life after marriage episode.

The comment is reasonable. Everyone has their own love and it’s okay if this show isn’t for them. I just wanted to explain Ning Yuxuan’s look because not everyone considers the character setting.

Dang, what’s up with this sudden wave of negativity? Took a break to study/update other things and it’s like no one likes this show anymore 😂

The statistics actually say the main audience of this show was women in their 30s but I understand not every show will work for everyone.
Powerful has different meanings and interpretations, and in this drama, powerful is referring to capable rather than literal physical power and prowess (Though the ML does fight and is capable of protecting the female lead) . The character in the drama is also set to be a young man in his very early 20s so in terms of looks, this casting is appropriate because the ML should have a boyish air about him. Plus, the juvenile looks don’t stop the male lead from having a sense of machismo during romantic scenes.

Just saw a rumor that this might air in May. Fingers crossed!

Short Q&A with Ding Yuxi (English subs)

I thought I was over this show but I saw a clip of Yezi yesterday and instantly became bitter. How could the showrunners have cut such a good growth storyline? Cut the character until they have been scolded and ridiculed…I’ll never be reconciled 😩
